I think. It's still in the high 80's here where I am. We actually put our little pool back up for the next few weeks! My son and his fiance got married last month and it was beautiful! Now it's time to get back to business. PS: Full moon alert! Now is a great time to do a little ritual with the full moon this Tuesday! Crafty season is upon us!<br />

<br />
Well, I'm here to say Hi two years after my last post! Still creating, painting, traveling and enjoying life. I'm also incorporating Holistic Healing and Reiki into my repertoire and daily living! Not long after I started this blog I began working with crystals and sage on a regular basis. We moved every year for seven years straight so there were lots of energies and places to clear! Because this ritual of smudging and clearing became a huge part of my life I began to explore further. Where it has taken me is amazing. I am so grateful for all that I have learned spiritually, emotionally and even physically and how it has changed my life for the better. I'm learning and practicing Reiki and now am sharing and empowering others. I want to share with you my go to place for everything from sage and crystals to oils and herbs and full moon rituals. I have a few teachers and resources, but this was my first place to shop and learn. If you purchase anything from my link I will get a small commission. I hope you find what you are looking for and more here. I can't recommend her enough. <a href="https://www.sagegoddess.com/product-category/magical-gifts/gifts-of-healing/gifts-for-love/ref/2364/" target="_blank">Sage Goddess</a> <br />

<br />
I've been wanting to get the message out about plastic ever since I saw <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JeffBridgesOfficial" target="_blank">Jeff Bridges FB video</a> for the <a href="http://www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org/" target="_blank">Plastic Pollution Coalition</a>. It's a real eye opener. So much so that I have posted the video on my personal and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ShellyJackHandmade/" target="_blank">Shelly Jack Handade</a> FB pages. I've even removed my Peek A Boo travel pouch pattern, which called for clear plastic vinyl, that I offered for sale from my on line stores. It's a start. Now that I live just five minutes from the ocean, it hits even closer to home. Ultimately though, this is about human kind, this stuff ends up in our bodies causing all kinds of health problems. <br />
<br />
Make no mistake, this is going to be a real challenge. As I look around my personal environment, plastic is everywhere. I can't even type this message without looking through the plastic lenses of my glasses or type it here without the plastic keys on my keyboard. Right now as I write this my husband is installing "environmental friendly, low carbon footprint flooring" in our home. While he is carrying in the boxes I see that they are wrapped in plastic. <br />
<br />
My mom recently bought this wood sign for me. I thought it was kind of funny but weird at the same time. Today I make it my mantra to do my very best, in doing my part, to help combat the very serious plastic crisis. I hope that you will join me in my effort and start by at least watching the video. Also, check out my free <a href="http://shellyjack.blogspot.com/2014/01/its-here-awesome-addictive-fun.html">Reusable Reversible Tote Bag pattern</a> to start making and carrying your own market bags.<br />

What a whirl wind life has been! New move to Florida, new home and a new sewing studio/room! Which means sewing and a little painting, along with house renovations, mostly a lot of house stuff. I'm so glad to be back into a normal routine and doing all the things I love. It feels good. It is good. Thanks for reading! Here's a small sample of what's been going on creatively lately! =)<br />

Well, we have moved, again, even further south from Tennessee to Florida. We have been living out of our suitcases for the past month and a half. Getting lots and lots and LOTS of travel in. Some work, some vacation. Zero sewing accomplished but I've got the best natural tan that I have had in decades! I'm sure we will settle in soon enough, until then, we are enjoying this the best we can. Hope your summer is going well!<br />

Today is May 1 and Beltane, who knew. Not something I can say I have previously recognized, but it seems to be popping up all over the social media sites I've been visiting. And, it is fitting. It has been a long winter. It has also been a good long run of bag making and blogging for me. I started making bags about five years ago and really kicked it up when we moved here to Nashville. Doing a little Spring cleaning here and getting ready for what the future will bring. Change. It feels good. <br />
<br />
Here are a couple of bags I just finished. Love them both. The white leather bag was made from the Lekala #3015 pdf pattern. I really love how I managed to salvage this thing and am currently using this bag on a daily basis. I can not however, recommend this pattern to a normal, non crazy person to attempt! First off, half of the pieces downloaded in Polish. Yes Polish. Now I knew that this was a Swedish based company, but c'mon. Even Google translator couldn't produce understandable words for me to decipher on the pieces. Luckily, I happen to be an experienced bag making queen ;) but, this sucker took me four days to complete. There was one sheet of instructions numbered #1 - #13. Yep, that's it. No photos, etc. Guess I'm spoiled by all the really great bag pattern designers and patterns like <a href="http://swoonpatterns.com/" target="_blank">Swoon Patterns</a>. <br />
<br />
Here it is.<br />

I also made a messenger bag. Something I have been wanting to do for a while. Love this one. It makes me happy. The pattern I used was the <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/sewing/accessory/hippiegirl-messenger-bag/136705" target="_blank">HippieGirl Messenger Bag by Redlabel</a> on Craftsy. It was pretty easy to follow the instructions, there are no pattern pieces included, just measurements, so I just made my own. I omitted the ruffle on the flap and knotted handle. Most of the fabric I used is Amy Butler and Michael Miller. It calls for 15 different fabrics! I think I will try this in canvas using maybe only two different colors, or one color with some leather trim. <br />

Well, that's pretty much my life any, sporadic. I love it. I hate it (the sporadicalness part) sometimes too. Mostly love it =) Constantly moving around like a gypsy can wear a girl out! But, I crave the adventure if I sit around idle too long. So, I stay thankful, and grateful for it. Over the last month or so I have gotten back into sewing and thankfully my yoga routine. Note to self- Never Ever Ever give up yoga! After a looong bout of sickness, it feels <strike>good</strike> great to be healthy again and have some energy. With that being said, here is some photo soup for you of some of the things I've managed to create. Hope you are doing well, feeling healthy, energized and creating! Be inspired!<br />

Happy New Year! It's been a little quiet around here for the last week or so. The holidays were great and went by like a whirl wind. Got to spend some great time with the kids. That was my favorite. Cleaned up the decorations and house. Got sick. Got better. All good. Not too much sewing going on. Managed to whip up an <a href="http://april-rhodes.com/products/new-the-popover-poncho-pdf-download" target="_blank">April Rhodes Popover Poncho</a> out of some great cotton sweatshirt fleece. Looking forward to wearing this when the temps warm up a bit. It's so comfy! Have some cool hikes and walks to look forward to this spring. Lots of change in the air for this year. Taking it slow at the start and really enjoying some down time. It won't last long, but for now, it's great. <br />

Made a canvas and leather duffle for dad before Christmas. Swooning over how great it turned out. You can get the free pattern over <a href="http://www.sew4home.com/projects/storage-solutions/safari-duffle-canvas-faux-leather" target="_blank">here at Sew 4 Home.</a></div>

Next on the sewing front a <a href="https://www.noodle-head.com/product/poolside-tote-pdf-pattern-2" target="_blank">Poolside Tote by Noodle-head.</a> <a href="http://www.jenfoxstudios.com/#!shop/c1p25/en/product/id/184108853" target="_blank">Pleated Tote by Jen Fox</a>. And, because I can never have too many bags or bag patterns, I'm thinking the <a href="http://swoonpatterns.com/shop/swoon-pattern-subscription/" target="_blank">Swoon subscription</a> should keep me busy in all my 'spare' time lol. The beauty of all these pdf patterns is that you can shrink and print them to any size you like. I'll be modifying my Poolside Tote and making it a tad smaller. I printed it at 70% and it's the perfect handbag size. Until next time, have fun checking out the patterns. I love all of them. Maybe make a few for yourself :) </div>

I did it. Jumped on the band wagon and made myself a Super Tote. What can I say, I just love it! I've been eyeing this bag pattern for a while now and finally decided to just make one already! The pattern is the <a href="https://www.noodle-head.com/product/super-tote-pdf-pattern-2" target="_blank">Super Tote by Noodlehead</a>. Some how I see a few more of these in my future. It's a great size for traveling, which we all know I do quite frequently. I picked up the red quilted fabric and the holiday fabric for a steal at my local craft store. For the interfacing I used fusible fleece and it worked like a charm. Instead of making elastic pockets on each side, I made one and put a pocket for my phone on the other side. I also added a key fob finder. I can not stand to use a bag with out one of those now! Everything came together pretty nicely. It was a nice slow project for me, I really took my time making this one. It took me about four days. To be fair, I actually cut out an entire other bag and fused all the interfacing on, then decided to make another our of red holiday fabric. So three days all in all. That's in between cleaning the house, showering, eating etc lol. Now I have to sew and assemble the other one. It's a great tote!<div>

We already know that though. Here is my holiday hand bag. I am in love yet again! So, with that being said, I will also enter this into <a href="http://sewsweetness.com/2014/10/purse-palooza-2014.html" target="_blank">Purse Palooza 2014</a>. This will be bag number six for me. Six entries LOL. Do I feel the need to blog <i>every </i>time I make a bag? No. But this is the only way I could figure out how to post pics of my entries! Besides, who doesn't like to admire a handmade handbag! If you are a bag sewist there is still time to enter your bag creation over at <a href="http://sewsweetness.com/2014/10/purse-palooza-2014.html" target="_blank">Sew Sweetness Purse Palooza 2014</a>.

They are fun and quick to make. Here is my 'altered' Amy Butler Spice Market Tote Bag made with holiday tree quilting fabric. My goal was to use up my holiday stash and not purchase any new fabric right now. So, I had to alter the pattern just a tad to work with what was available. Happy with the results!<div>

I've got six cut out. Two down, four more to go! I also altered the pattern a bit and made a smaller version. Love! It was very easy to downsize. I just cut all the measurements in half!

So I headed outdoors to photograph the new bag that I made. Yet another creation I am in LOVE with! This one is the <a href="http://www.noodle-head.com/2014/10/time-warp-projects.html" target="_blank">Cargo Duffle</a> by <a href="http://www.noodle-head.com/page/2" target="_blank">Noodle-head</a>. You can get the FREE pdf pattern over<a href="http://www.robertkaufman.com/quilting/quilts_patterns/Cargo_Duffle/" target="_blank"> here at Robert Kaufman</a>. It was a pretty easy project. I took my time quilting the pieces and got reacquainted with my machine. It gets a little challenging with all the layers, but if you take your time and use the proper needle and thread it comes together nicely. I really enjoyed working on this bag. All in all it took me about two days to complete, working on and off during my days. I will be making a few more of these for sure! It is the perfect size for my little four year old niece as an over night suitcase. It's also perfect to tote around books and my e-readers and iPad on road trips. Toiletries would fit perfectly in here including the blow dryer on longer trips. It could also be made in plain canvas or leather for a man bag too. Great pattern! Now go make one! =)<br />

Who does this? Does any one know what kind of birds those are? And where the heck to they keep those kinds of birds.. Must have very large cages. Can you imagine the poop! LOL<br />
<br />
Anyway, that was totally awesome to see.<br />
<br />
The next morning I awoke to this! For real. I was waving like crazy. Like a crazy woman in her pajamas and slippers at 7:30 am! They had to see me. There is NO WAY they didn't. Maybe they were more concerned with passing over my building than waving to me!! Again LOL<br />

Our awesome pumpkin! I made Dave pay extra for that stem! So spoiled! But seriously, this made my day =)<br />
<br />
Last but not least by any means, here is my doctor bag! I love how it turned out, even though it is MUCH smaller than I thought it would be. Don't ask me why. I read the pattern and instructions. Not sure why I thought all tubular hardware came in one size! Seriously, I know better, but I actually made the bag and then checked to see what size my bag frame really was. Too big. Of course. Oh well, a little tweaking and I think it will work out just fine. <br />
<br />
I have been following <a href="http://sewsweetness.com/about-me" target="_blank">Sara Lawson's Sew Sweetness blog</a> <a href="http://sewsweetness.com/2014/10/purse-palooza-2014.html" target="_blank">Purse Palooza</a> and one of her daily questions for a give away inspired me to dig this hardware out and give a tapestry bag a shot. Check out her blog all you bag/sewing enthusiasts! Much inspiration to be had <a href="http://sewsweetness.com/2014/10/purse-palooza-2014.html" target="_blank">over there!</a><br />

Made this trick or treat jack-o-lantern bag for my niece. Saw something like it at a book store and thought "I could make that". Ta Da! Super easy. Just used felt and webbing I had in my stash for the face and handles. Orange felt and lining fabric cost me about $7.00. It is a little larger than I had anticipated, but that's ok, more candy to hold!</div>

I change my bags and wallets out often and always have a ton of change to transfer. Thought it would be nice to just keep all my change in one place from now own. So, here is my favorite new wise owl change keeper that I whipped up with some scrap fabric. I am in love with this little guy! He reminds me to spend my money wisely =)<br />

Headed out for a vacation a few weeks ago and it ended up being anything but that. My sisters husband got sick and passed away. Way too sudden. Way too young. It's been a tumultuous past few weeks. It will be a tumultuous next year for her and her children. My heart is broken for her. Between the tears though there are a few moments like these. Moments of remembering. I remember taking this photo of him and his daughter dancing. Moments of appreciating. I'm so glad I did. Moments of peace. At home on my balcony. May peace be with you today.<br />

I also found some time to paddle board here in TN! We hit up the Cumberland on Wednesday and then my lovely neighbor introduced me to an incredible lake nearby! Stunning! I got <span style="background-color: red;">fried</span> because I didn't bring my hat and spent much longer out there than anticipated, three hours! Actually, I could have stayed even longer. Fun!<br />
