She was Right!

How is it that MOM knew SO much - yet as a teenager I was definitely sure I knew more that she did!  Funny how she got "smarter" as I got older.  If she were alive today, I'd tell her how just about EVERYTHING she always told me, I KNOW NOW to be TRUE.

SO,, that  brings me to the point - Mom always told me that as I got older, time would pass faster--at least it would seem that way.  Yep, SHE was right!  2015 seemed to ZIP by me.  You too?

Even tho I didn't blog much, I look at my side bar and see that I did accomplish quite a bit.  No "recap" from me, but it's all over there.  It was all over there, but I've now updated to 2016 accomplishments--so......

One of the last projects of this year was a gift for a dear friend.  We have known each other since high school but have just (in 2015) reconnected at a time in our lives where we "need" and so "appreciate" one another.  What a blessing and gift!

SO, when I fell in love with Rhonda's free pattern/tutorial for a great tote bag, I knew my friend "needed" one.  I'm happy to say she loved it.

Inside

I added an inside zippered pocket (Rhonda had noted that she hadn't added a pocket but would next make).  It was a fun make.  My friend is so creative with so many things, this fabric was perfect!!

Happy 2016 to everyone!  Hope the new year brings good things to each of you!
