I will! I got it cut out, but not sewn. And I have about a million things going on so I know I can’t join a larger swap. I am super excited about the gallery and bummed that I can’t join in.

I just realized that the “Extras?” question in the questionnaire meant, “Yes or no on extras?” I’m so silly!
I thought we were doing extras for sure, and the question was just asking what things appeal to us.

Hey all check in question.
Have you made bags/purses before? What was the occasion?

Have made a couple of purses for myself (no occasion), and one for a swap partner (@kittykill), long ago. I do have supplies to make a fun summer bag for myself that are mocking me at this very moment, hanging from a hook inside my closet door.

I’ve always found it harder to get motivated to make a bag for myself lol

Oh, I just remembered! I also made a D&D bag for someone else on Craftster… Who was that? (Was it you, @Manders ?) Grr, my memory is SO bad!
As well as one for the $5 swap… Think that one was for @lifeinpigtails.
Posting pictures.

It wasn’t me, but those bags are super cute! 
I’ve joined two bag/purse swaps on Craftster. My partner for one was @Edel and I don’t remember the name of the other partner I had. She made me a weekender bag. I would love to see more purse and bag swaps though!

I have made a few bags over the years, but I haven’t found any photos, so I guess it’s been a while! I think I’ve got one kind of improv patchwork shoulder bag I made.
@endymion’s pinterest list of bags has got some amazing examples on it, it’s definitely inspiring me!

Hey All check in question for this week:
What other hobbies, besides the crafty ones, do you have?
3 Likes
I enjoy reading as a hobby and also video games. 
I started a new series, “Naked in Death” and it’s been very interesting so far.

I enjoy playing games, especially tabletop board games. My son gave me Everdell for Christmas and we have been playing it quite a bit.
Jigsaw puzzles are fun, but I don’t do them much any more, just due to time and space constraints. Word puzzles are fun, too.
I watch things on YouTube and Netflix, etc. … But at the moment, I view that as less of a hobby and more of a bad habit/addiction.
Really, everything else I do for enjoyment could also be characterized as a craft (baking, writing, etc.)
