Purse Project

A friend of mine recently posted a number of things she has created lately and asked what others have been creating lately. I realized that it had been a while since I had made anything which is unusual because I usually have a number of projects I am working on. So these are a few purses I just made. We learned how to make these placemat purses at Enrichment last fall, so I decided to make some the girls would like and they love them. They have been taking them to the store, to church as scripture bags, etc. There was a discussion in Relief Society recently about creating things that I have thought about a lot. Someone brought up this talk by President Uchtdorf and how it really brings joy to create something, especially something that will not be spit up on, eaten quickly, messed up, etc. During the first trimester of this pregnancy I pretty much stopped doing anything like that, so I am recommitting myself to start some sewing projects, plant some flowers and try some new recipes.
