Today will be a busy day. I going to try to stay focused and finish several projects. Three ladies in my office have birthdays this month so I am making them each a little notebook organizer for their purses. I will post pictures when they are done. I have a purse I have started for a client/friend that needs to be finished and sent off. I am using a pattern that she liked but that did not have a zipper. She, like most of us, has a problem with unexpected purse flippings and would like me to add a zipper to the purse. I don't have a lot of experience with zippers, but I am giving it a go. I found a nice tutorial at http://www.themikkelsens.net/sarah/journal/2008/o6/recessed-zipper-how-to.html that I am trying to use with my pattern. I am 90% complete, but I am not sure I am liking how it is turning out. I may keep this one for myself and make her a new one now that I am so much more experienced. Not really, but I do have some ideas on how to do it better. Over in the forum at Sew Mama Sew, Irene is hosting a Summer Skirt Sew-Along http://sewmamasew.com/forum/index.php?topic=1915.0 so I want to get started on that. I have picked out my fabric and am narrowing down my decision on a pattern. I think it will be fun to see what everyone makes. I am sure there will be many different patterns and fabrics flying around sewing rooms or Kitchens (in my case). Everyone should join the fun.

That's it for today. Happy Creating!
