Slow but successful

I'm slow in posting...mainly because I haven't had anything to post. But I do now. It's not alot but it's better than nothing at all. I have completed two more crossbody bag gift sets and another one (#5) is almost completed. Well, actually none of the three are 100% complete...but they should be finished either by this evening or tomorrow. I'm waiting on slider bars to lenghthen/ shorten the straps that I've ordered from Amazon. They were scheduled to arrive today but I just received a message saying there's been some sort of delay. Oh, and I'm calling them gift sets because each one has a coordinating change purse and at least one, if not two, scrunchies along with a bit of cash. #3 

and #4

No pics of #5 yet...still have to finish the bag then make the accessories. I'm trying to use faux suede and or faux leather..not having a whole lot of success with the suede...I've used it, but it can be frustrating..it seems to move while Im trying to cut it and I've ended up with a couple of kinda wonky rectangles. I haven't tried the faux leather yet (oh,I have cork,too,but haven't tried that either) - I think I'll try those in some form on the next two (or three) bag sets. Arghhh! In the time I've been away from blogging...what, 2 weeks?...Google appears to have changed things so that I'm having trouble finding my photos that I want to share and then when I do find them and want to add them to my blog, they are entered as a bunch of symbols, letters, whatnot. In order to see if they are the right pics in the right place, I have to switch over to 'preview'. What's up with that?!?! ok, I'm really getting frustrated with this. I may be back, I may not. I have enough frustration as it is without getting it while simply trying to blog. 

 take care

P.s. arghhh again...I just tried my Blogger icon on my phone again ( it wouldn't work before) and it's working again.

This is success #2
