I hope this finds everyone dug out from the snow if you were in one of the areas that got so badly hit. It has been one strange winter for weather, that's for sure. We got very lucky this time around and didn't see a flake, well not the snow kind anyway. I am thankful for that because my husband is in the hospital and that would have been more stress! In the hours I have been sitting over there, I have been doing a lot of hand stitching. Want to show you my recent creation. It is a really fun new denim purse. Was never quite sure what to do with the top part of jeans after I had reused the denim from the legs. Well, the answer is just have some fun with it!

All the pockets have remained intact and there is a new zipper pocket where the fly is. These are a size 10 jeans and they made quite a roomy purse. If I use my own, I believe it will be a suitcase!
I have to run off to the hospital again so I will leave you with a household hint a girl friend sent to me:
Leave a few get well cards on the mantle. That way people will think you've been sick and were unable to clean!
Have good week all,
Pat

I've always loved those jean purses, it's such a fun way to recycle and reuse. Love the lace embellishments.

Love the jean bag, what a good idea Pat. Thank you for the get well card tip that and leaving the hoover out, so that when someone pops in you can say 'I was just about to start the cleaning!"
Pat, well, you certainly did recycle those jeans! I will pray for you and your hubby. Thanks for sharing!
LOL Pat! Thanks for the housekeeping hint! I really need that! The jean purse will be a hit for sure. What a wonderful way to repurpose jeans. You have me laughing about if you used your own jeans......you always bring sunshine into the day. Keep it up!

Pat I love the purse! I hope you will be selling some. I am going to go out and buy some get well cards do you think I can trick my DH into thinking that so he knows why I have not been able to clean. Sending prayers for your DH
hugs sassy gail
