My first bag!

This is my first attempt at a bag.

It feels larger than I thought it would, but I still love it.

The bag's outer material is Fredrika upholstery from Ikea and is lined with green ticking from JoAnn's.

Stella's not impressed. She refused to get in.

Iron & Ironing Board

I blogged last month about my iron melting down. I chose the cheapest one on my list, the Classic Black and Decker. So far, I've been very, very, pleased.

My ironing board got a new look, too.

I picked up this vintage wooden board from craigslist.

To create my perfect ironing surface, I started with the wood board, added 2 layers of muslin, then the Ironslide board cover, then a fancy hand-made ironing board cover from Etsy.
