but why I made it, examining the thoughts that accompany creativity and the act of making."

It's In the Bag



Am I going to report I have everything perfectly done I want to have done?  Can I find all the photos I wanted to share with you?  Will this bag be used and appreciated by the ten year old boy I crocheted it for to hold his art supplies?

No...No... and I don't know :-)

But I am having the best time stitching, beading, writing, typing, photographing, calling, wrapping, and sending....

Where ever you are, if you have made yourself known to me, I appreciate you, and the common interests we share. Thanks for visiting me here and thanks to those of you who take the time to leave a comment here or email or text or call or visit me. It is wonderful to know that you know what is in the heart of the creative efforts of this blog.  You understand what is in the bag and you share it with me. Thanks so much!!! xxx

Love,
Gracie

  11. That is a beautiful bad Gracie! I had so much fun with you yesterday. How I wish I lived closer so we could see each other more often. I'm as ready as I'll ever be for Christmas. After all. It's not about us and our gifts anyway is it? It's about the Greatest Gift of all.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  13. What a cozy spot for doing all that. I'm just hoping it's as dusty as mine because I should be cleaning but instead I'm doing more fun stuff like crocheting and blog visiting and Instagram. :) The bag is nice so I hope he loves it. Happy holidays! Tammy

  16. I visited an up-market 'knitting' store here and everything was made with Alpaca wool (the animals living nearby) and all was so soft and luxurious feeling but of course very expensive.
