An Uninvited Guest......

Here I am minding my own business, planning a week of fun with my oldest granddaughter and the uninvited guest shows up!  We have all met this nasty little visitor, he is known as Mr. Upper Respiratory Infection! He barrels his way into your home and into your body and knocks you flat on your back!

I thought I could get him to leave on his own, but had to end up going to the Doctor to get his eviction papers known as medicine!  The worse thing about his visit, I had to take my granddaughter back home because I was just too sick to keep her.

Well guess what? You are out of here!!!! The medicine has started to work and you are on your way out the door!   I hope he doesn't show up at any of your houses, if he does kick him to the curb and quickly as he seems to enjoy messing up your plans!

I am looking forward to getting back to working on new items for my shop and to getting my granddaughter back so we can finish our visit!

Before the uninvited guest made his ugly appearance I did get this cute little purse made.  I just love this purse! So simple, yet so very unique!

I am hoping to be back in the Bags By Hags Workshop Soon! Hope you all have a great day!

Things to do with Denim....

I love working with denim, my favorite thing to do is to take a pair of denim jeans and recycle them into something new!  I love to take a pair of jeans and make several items out of just one pair.  I usually start with cutting them off like shorts and make Denim Purses. Each purse is made unique and one of a kind, with different straps and adornments.  This is one of my favorite ones.

I then can take the legs and make tote bags like this one.

During Christmas I take the legs and turn them into Stockings. This was a custom order I received this last Christmas:

I also love to make Bible Covers out of denim, in fact these are my favorite things to make! Again each one is made unique and different, you can be assured you are getting a One of A Kind Item. 

Keep watching Bags By Hags you never know what may turn up in denim next!  Or if you have a particular item or style in mind feel free to contact me and I will be more than happy to do a Custom Order for you!

Dog, Cat, or Family Member?

If you follow my blog you have seen the pictures of my animals, I love my animals, they are part of my family.  My animals are very spoiled, well loved, and well taken care of.

Sadly that is not true of all animals and I saw this first hand when I worked for Animal Control in Alaska. Some days I would just come home and cry, there just aren't enough homes for all the unwanted animals and you have to realize that you cannot save them all no matter how much you want to.

We happened to find baby kittens living in our shed and managed to capture them, poor little things they were so hungry and thirsty.  The mama cat belonged to one of our neighbors so my husband took the kittens to them and thankfully they said they would take them.  I really wish they would spay mom.......

This is what a tough life my animals lead:

Ringo - You know I love him he is allowed to sleep on my John Wayne Blanket!

Doc - Yes again I allow him to sleep up in the chair. 

Little Man - Sits here everyday and watches out the window for my husband to come home, he is Troy's dog!

Ruby - Little Ruby laying on the Dog Bed at my feet.

Miss Kitty - She is waiting on me, she sits in the chair behind me when I'm on the computer (when she is not sitting up on the desk) she is ready to go to the workshop with me!

I wonder if they even know how lucky they really are? 

I have a couple of great items in my shop for pet lovers out there, first up is our Puppy Love Tote

A great tote made from recycled denim, and a great bargain! 

For the Cat lovers out there, its Cat's Galore! 

This is one of my favorite tie purses in my shop

I hope you have Dog-gone great day and a Purrfect weekend!
