of butterflies and pink mice

I have had two week days in a row where I have been able to sew for more then ten minutes.  Yes, part of that is due to a cracked ankle that I am trying to heal.  It means that when it aches, I do try to stay off of it.  The conditions on the ice yesterday were appalling so it was better that I stayed home.  I finished a bag yesterday and I finished one today.

One of the fabrics has little tiny pink mice!  You do not even see them if you do not look close.  They just look like the rest of the patterns.  I have to admit I love this fabric but I really do not like mice.  Yuck!

The other fabric had butterflies!  Mice and butterflies.  It made me smile the whole time I was working on this bag even with trails and tribulations.  I had oiled my sewing machine earlier this week and I had to work on the tension.  It required patience when all I really wished to do was sew.  I keep getting reminded that is a lesson I need to learn.

With mice.

With butterflies.  And lots of smiles.
