The last few weeks have been full on, work has given me many challenges including stepping into an executive leadership role for a week....my boss has nothing to fear from me ever wanting his job, he can keep it. Two days of back to back meetings coupled with contractor issues and my son having minor surgery on his toes for ingrown toenails really challenged the worklife balance and my mental capacity, in other words I was mentally exhausted! So after the dinner was done I did what i do best when I'm stressed I sew! I'm sure you can all relate, it's therapy!
Remember this little tote
Well the talented designer, Pauline from Polly's Keepsakes sent me another pattern to try and I love it!
It's a project bag, full of pockets, a pincushion and, it has a scissor keep and two strawberries hanging on the outside. Easy to sew and very useful!
I feel good after completing this project, maybe I can complete a few more and really boost those happy endorphins!
Do you stitch when you are stressed?

Hi! Your bags are just gorgeous! I am trying to track down a pattern for the top bag, I believe it is Ruby Brown's Sewing Caddy, but am not having much luck. Do you happen to know if it is still available for purchase anywhere? Thanks!!
