Keeping Busy

The BF is in grad school taking night classes (while working full time) to get his MBA. Needless to say, he is often not home. To keep busy I have come up with many projects, or activities as I call them, to keep from being bored or lonely after work.

I already posted about the pillows I made for my new bedroom, and have moved on to more sewing. After an expensive trip to the craft and fabric store, I've started making little make-up bags, shoe bags, and other things out of all the cute fabric I got. I also discovered this iron on vinyl stuff, and have started making vinyl lined make-up bags, much easier for clean up...the stuff is awesome!

Here is one of the vinyl lined bags I made (sorry for the poor quality picture)

Actually, before I made the bag I was practicing with the iron on vinyl and made a set of coasters.

After being home for many nights alone, I have made over a dozen little bags. I had so many I've started giving them away to friends and now have a few requests to make more. This is just one of the many crafts I keep myself busy with at night, I'll post the others when I take pictures of them.

Hmm, all the projects I've made are starting to pile up in my house...maybe I should open an etsy store. Anyone out there make things at home and sell them on etsy?? How is it working out for you?
