What do you pull from your closet for winter? Do you have a favorite color, material or piece of clothing for the season? Since I tend to get hot easily - if I was older, I'd think I was going through menopause! - so I wear layers that can easily be removed or added as needed.

I'd enjoy hearing about what you can't live without during these cold months.

Blessings & joy, yours truly . . . Corrinne Quinn

Handbag Style

There was a very brief moment in my life when I decided I was going to make purses. My mom had just bought me a sewing machine, so that was all I needed! I bought lots of fabric, trims, threads, handles & whatever else caught my fancy. I was going to be this fabulous handbag designer, making lots of money by selling them on ebay.

Ha ha ha! I made a few bags AND I even sold a couple. They weren't horrible, but they were not fantastic. Of course, I struggled & struggled to learn, but my impatience got the better of me. I put a stop to that fantasty. It was fun for a time, but it just didn't catch my interest.
