Just call me Martha....

....Stewart that is!! As many of you know, Phillip bought me a nice sewing machine for Christmas. I've been busy with many projects, but my favorite so far is this cute little shoulder bag! Among some other projects are blind hems, dog collars, and Christmas tree skirts. Phillip has been such a trooper with the "surprise" trips to JoAnns while out running errands! :) I still (obviously) consider myself a beginner so any pieces of advice would be greatly appreciated...
