I use plain acrylic paint on my fabric. It works. When it dries, it's set permanently, it's washable, and it softens over time.

Creating a Market Bag...
The material I start with is clean, recycled, white bedsheets. I cut it up into pieces the size of the market bag I want...

Tomorrow is sewing day. The bags are quite easy to make. The finished bag will be lined and all seams finished, inside and out.

April Projects...
I am currently living in a paint, fabric, yarn chaos. My living room ceased to exist. It's my workroom now.
And this is why...
And this is why...

| Knitting piled on ottoman, working on painting a kitchen cabinet lime green, working on market bags, etc... |

| Market bags on the go. First step is to hand-paint the front of the bag. |

This, That, and The Other Thing...
So, I'm busy making stuff. Muddling through my chaos.
My living room is a disaster (as a living room, but great, for a workroom).
I'll keep this short. Too many things to do today...
I've traded a few craft things on whoopdwhoop. Great website. You exchange merchandise for "whoops" - no cash involved (except the high cost of shipping).
I'm also getting more market bags ready, for consignment at a local shop.
An old flame has popped back in, but I'm simply going to appreciate the contact with him, for now. At one time, I thought he was the love of my life (and he could be...just saying), but he's spent the past few years, going from one woman to the next. Getting into common-law relationships...
It's like he's desperate to find THE ONE.
And, at one time, I was that person. But it blew up in our faces. So we touch base, from time to time, but I'd be a liar, if I didn't say that he also broke my heart. More than once...
So, I appreciate hearing from him. Maybe even seeing him again. But I won't wish on any stars...
Okay. Pictures of what I've been up to lately. Market bags, but the green fabric with the doily is a future decorative pillow for a bed...
