ANOTHER ROAD TRIP ?????

After a couple of fun road trips it is time for yet another one, only this time it is by air and no art involved, only family and friends.  The suitcase has not been unpacked but dirty clothes have been laundered and I am ready to head out again.  After visiting some grandchildren on this last trip I am really looking forward to seeing more of them.  I miss these little guys so much and never realize how much until I do see them and with any luck I'll have a few come to visit this summer as well.

 I showed you my "bandana" bag I made for my last road trip and after I got home I knew I wanted to make a few changes and as the hubby said "I knew you couldn't not start up those sewing machines".  He's right I love making things and Anne is after new merchandise, but I will not start any new projects for several weeks.  Although I really enjoyed my new "big" bag I filled it up and wished I could put it on my shoulder and had time to think about how much I like a little bling, so changes I made.

 

First I took off the store bought black handles and replaced them with an old worn belt that I had cut in two thereby making the handles long and supple enough to be able to carry the bag on my shoulder.

I then added a concho to each side and some rhinestones that I glued on to the fabric.

I now have a big enough, shoulder carrying blinged up bag for my next trip as well as many adventures to come.
