Nature's Creations

Some people are just born to create, their talent may be sewing, painting, crocheting, knitting, or jewelry designing.  Some people even take classes to help develop their inner creativity. But yesterday I discovered one of nature's creations.

I was amazed at how all the sticks, twigs, paper, and straw had been so carefully woven together.  I can just imagine the time, care, and love that was put into this creation. 

We Handmade Artist put the same time, care, and love into everyone of our creations.

Bags By Hags takes pride in the creation of every product I make. I truly strive to make useful, unique, beautiful products.  

While the process of the creation of my new Potato Bags didn't take as long as building this nest probably took, I used just as much care and love. 

The process begins cutting the lining.

Then preparing the exterior, I decided to use a terry cloth dish towel as it is such a gorgeous print for the fall.

Miss Kitty has to approve all designs as she is our official Spokes-Cat. 

The finished product! 

I am just as proud of my Potato Bag as that little bird was of her nest!

Getting Stopped in My Tracks.......

As most of you know in addition to running my business Bags By Hags I also take care of my mom who has dementia.  Some days are smooth as silk, some days are as a bumpy as a country dirt road.  But I have faith this is what I am supposed to be doing and the Good Lord will help through!

This morning in between picking up fabric that my little monsters stole out of my scrap box, dealing with a small chihuahua who is barking as I am sweeping the floor, my mom decides she cannot find any of her clothes.  I ask her what are you looking for? What do you want to wear today? I want my pants like yours (I am wearing black yoga pants) Mom they are in your basket in your room, so I go get them.  Start back with my chores and she says will you fix my hair like yours? (Mine is tossed up in a ponytail) So I stop again and fix her hair for her.  I turn around and she says am I as pretty as you are now?  Oh Mama you are much prettier I tell her!  Funny how when you are so busy trying to get stuff done something so simple can stop you in your tracks.  Yes, this is what I am supposed to be doing........ (Now if I can just find where she put her glasses......)

I was also out in the garage changing out my laundry and noticed the little squirrel that has been around for the past few days, I quietly came in and grabbed my camera to take a few pictures.  As you can see he is just like me busy about his business but I was able to get a couple of shots. What an awesome sight for me!

You just never know what is around each corner of the day, it may just be something that will stop you in your tracks and make you thankful for all that you have!
