Cute or scary?

I went on a mission to make a purse without a pattern on my sewing machine... I made one for myself, and it was okay.  But I realized the fabric that I bought, while it was very cute, wasn't exactly the kind of thing I find myself wearing.  That, combined with the plethora of ideas for kids sewing projects on Pinterest, sent me on a mission to find a child I could force my creations on!!  Luckily one of my coworkers has the cutest little munchkin ever - so I started my monster purse project :)  It started off cute... then it got a little scary.  So then I made it at least kindof reversible just in case she starts crying uncontrollably when she sees the monster side, ha!  What do you think?  Cute or scary?

Pottery: Part One

I just finished my first pottery class as an adult!  It was super fun, and went by way too fast.  Luckily, the coworkers I took it with felt the same, so we'll be taking it again next quarter :)  Most of the stuff I made was crap, but there were a couple okay things in there!  My favorites were this little vase, a butter dish, and a squished business card holder.  Let's see if another 8 weeks leads to improved skills... oh and I'm taking requests if you want any mediocre earth-tone additions to your home decor!
