Purse or Bag?

Purse or Bag? What do you think?
I started out making a purse and ended up with a bag. What's the difference you ask? I'm not quite sure. I do know that this baby can hold just about anything. I added some pockets because every good bag has pockets! I also added some wooden buttons and handles. The bag is made of heavy tweed material and lined with a paisley fabric and holds up nicely. The best part is that the fabric was on sale and SALE is my favorite four letter word. Although it didn't turn out how I planned, it is now one of my favorite bags I've made so far.

I'm trying to keep this bag in my possession, but Cory's had her eye on it from the day she saw it. We've since been shopping for bag supplies for her. I'm excited to see how her bag turns out. We'll see...

Love and Family

  • I love my family - simply stated, but I absolutely love my family! My immediate family consists of David Kevin Willey or Kevin; the hard-working, talented, kind, generous, caring and loving man that I married...what was he thinking? Did I mention that I love this man? Yes, coveralls and all, it's all good! Randi Lee Willey, my oldest daughter is soon to be 28. Randi is beautiful, loving, caring, compasionate, generous, incredibly creative and great friend and daughter. Cory Lynn Willey is 25 and beautiful, loving, caring, compassionate, generous and creative, with a great sense of humor and a great friend and daughter. And then, there's Ernie. Ernie is soon to be seven years old, is spoiled rotten (no other way to be) and Ernie rules the roost. Ernie loves our family, or at least whomever he is with and trying to protect at the time. My family of origin is The Martinez Clan, which currently consists of 10; Mom, Kathryn M. Perez-Martinez age 80 and sisters and brothers ranging in ages from 59 to 45, some of us who are not quite a year apart from each other...what the hell were they thinking? They are from oldest to youngest: Eleanor Martinez, Sylvia Tuft, Linda Petersen, myself (Pat Willey), Frank Martinez, Jr., Alex Martinez, Alice Brandon, Felix Martinez and Rick Martinez (Father, Frank J. Martinez, deceased in 1999 at age 78 and Robert K. Martinez deceased in 1991 at age 34), making for quite an interesting life, to say the least, but I love them all and wouldn't trade any of it!
