Life's a Beach

The cold weather and lack of sun wore me out this winter and I needed to refresh my batteries.   I just got home from a couple weeks of vacationing in warmer weather and I have lots of renewed energy!

Over the past few years I've made plenty of bags and sometimes ask myself - will I really use this bag?  Well... some of these bags have become loyal traveling companions. 

I made this beach bag in 2023 (see July 2023 post).  This beach bag has traveled with me to Florida, California, Palm Springs and also four times to Hawaii.  It's a great carry-on in the plane and a great tote at the beach.  I wouldn't leave home without it!












Here we are hanging out on the beach in Maui - swimming, watching whales, turtles and even a few spinner dolphins came cruising by.  I was able to carry my snacks, towel, sunscreen, drinks and beach clothes easily in this fabric bag with it slung over my shoulder I cruised down to the beach.  I even was able to carry a folding beach chair.  Life was a beach and it was hard to return home to the cold and snow.

Also, a few months ago I made small travel bags out of bird seed bags(see post November 2025).  They are light-weight and waterproof.  They were great for my traveling needs.









With all this renewed energy and inspiration it's time to head to my studio and get creating.  I've missed my space.  See you soon with some awesome completed projects.
