I've wanted to make this for a while, I've had the fabric for what seems like forever, but I never could find the time. Saturday I finally sat down and used my hands to satisfy my creative desire. It had been too long. It took longer than what I thought, but not long enough as I was listening to a book on my ipod and didn't want to stop. I'm just loving how quickly time will pass when getting lost in a novel.
Also last week, Monday while my kids where at their Nana's house, I finally finished the project I started last January. I repainted the cabinet and added the knobs I had purchased. I even moved it to a different location in my studio. To me it makes a huge difference to the room. I've always enjoyed rearranging.
I have others I want to share, but am waiting to develop the photos so I can share it when it's finished. I've been waiting since before I left for Europe. It's amazing what you'll get done when your trying to avoiding doing something else.
Hope everyone is having a fabulous Monday. I just love Mondays.

I love your projects! Your bag turned out soooo cute! I wish I had the talent to make something like that! The cabinet looks great! Those knobs are so cute! Looking forward to seeing more of your finished projects!
Oh, the bag is just beautiful! The fabrics are wonderful. It makes me want to head to the fabric store (again -- just there a couple days ago with Barb).
Your cabinet is very striking with the pink knobs. I love it!
That bag is so lovely. What fun fabrics!
Gorgeous bag Amy! I am so in love with lime green right now!
Thanks for sharing your finished cabinet. I have spent a lot of time sifting through catalogs and magazines trying to design my "dream" studio/office (and then work my way there piece by piece). When you shared your studio a while back it was so wonderful it even made ME smile!
Your projects always give me a pang of jealous and inspiration, but I love, love, love to see them! These look great. Where did you move this in your room? We may need to see an updated studio spread (I'll try to prepare emotionally now.)
Your bag is gorgeous and I love the cabinet. I am going to be refinishing my desk and book case sometime this fall and the color you picked is just what I have been looking for.
that bag is super adorable. do you sell? i love the colors especially and what an inspiring cabinet. just love all the loose letters. cute, cute.
I'm in love with your bag. The fabric. I've been dreaming of making a bag like that, but haven't geared myself up for it yet. Thanks for sharing!
Two things you said resonated with me:
"It took longer than what I thought, but not long enough as I was listening to a book on my ipod and didn't want to stop." I totally agree!
"It's amazing what you'll get done when your trying to avoiding doing something else." SO true!!
Thanks for sharing your projects -- always a treat.
Wow- love the bag. Did you use a pattern~ gorgeous!
Those fabrics, where on earth? Has it been that long since I have gone to the fabric store? Oh Amy, you are SO talented! Love your projects, just makes me want to start creating.
WOW! I am loving the fabric you chose for such a darling bag! Your dresser turned out amazing and the pink looks awesome! I enjoy viewing your projects. It inspires me to DO!

I love lime. I love cute bags. I love black. I love pink. I love love. I say it too much! Cute stuff.
Ok.I'm behind, but that is THE cutest puppy EVER!!! I would love my kids to have a dog -we tried a gorgeous maltese puppy for one month -my for sale ad read:We love this dog. We love our dad. Have to keep dad, dog must go!haha
He is so alergic even though he grew up with a pitbull.(Those are the cutest puppies too!)
The fact is, the kids go to school all day and it would become MY dog and I don't scoop poop. haha ciao

I absolutely love your projects. I especially love the letter A display on your cabinet. My mind is just a whirl thinking of ideas now!
The bag is so cute. It's screaming Amy Butler to me... is it? I love the funky fabric.
