How Time Flies When You Are Having Fun

I believe time just flies the older you get! and since we are getting older every minute time is really flying!  I'm enjoying being back on the farm and planting a small garden and putting flower plants in the window boxes and focusing on the cherry orchard.  There is always the everyday or weekly things like getting groceries, running errands, rearranging a few things, cleaning, fixing, doing laundry, cooking, baking.......and seeing the beauty of flowers:) We were in a beautiful garden today and I hope to put some pictures from there soon.

I wish this gerbera daisy was from my garden but wherever it is from I love the green center. 

This is my new bag:)  It is very light and easy to carry.  I usually use it as a cross body bag (meaning the strap is long enough to go across the body).  Originally I was going to make a bag out of just one fabric and keep it simple (basic rectangle) so I would get it done (but I couldn't seem to get going on it).  Then I remembered a project I had seen on the Country Living website: www.countryliving.
com/crafts/projects/Flowers-Fabric-0606 and I decided to try something more interesting (and it was easy to get started!). So using fabrics I already had and a strap recycled from something else this is what I made.  When I went to buy the magnetic catch I was surprised at all the colors to choose from (I used a bright green).  The lining is in the small black check fabric.  I tried a different way to do some inside pockets but they are a bit too low to be really useful but they do give the bag a more substantial feel.  My next bag is going to be something bigger that can be used when you need to take along a change of shoes/clothes and you wish you didn't have to use a plastic grocery bag!
