Have I ever mentioned that I have two major weaknesses when it comes to fashion accessories?  Well, just in case you don’t already know…  I LOVE cute bags and shoes.  The sad part?  I don't really have many of either.  =)

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, I decided that I needed a new beach bag.  My old bag was looking pretty bad, and it has rust stains on the bottom.  I looked around town, but I couldn’t find any cute beach bags that said “Take me home!!”, so I thought I would look at the stores down at the beach when we went down this summer... 

but…

I found a ruffle beach tote tutorial online this past week and decided to try my hand at making one for myself.  I had so much fun with this project and I’m very happy with the way it turned out.  

Wanna see?

So, what our your thoughts on my finished sewing project?  Do you want one for yourself?

I am actually going to start making a few other bags to put in my *new* Etsy shop.  Katie and I started it last night.  Please be praying for us as we start this new adventure.  We really want our new business to work out.    Have any ideas on what our Etsy shop name is?  It begins with the letter *V*, and the last word is Studio.  I would love to hear what you think!  I’ll reveal the name sometime next week.  =)

Have a wonderful weekend!!!
