Bingo-licious (It is what it is)

This project has been like a bad relationship. I keep trying to make it into something it's not. So here, in front of the world, I'm facing the fact that I made a nautical, patriotic, BINGOLICIOUS beach tote that would rock the socks off seniors centers everywhere. No amount of sequins can make this project any less geriatric. So, hooray. I plan on making one of the octogenarians in my life very happy. Sometimes something just is what it is.

And while this isn't exactly my crowning achievement, this sweatshirt is going to be awesome. Sometimes a new technique needs a couple of tries before you get the groove:


So, you want to know how it's done?

Thanks everyone for all the good wishes last week. I think I'm back on my feet, even if they are a little wobbly.

I LOVE the title of this post. It makes me giggle like a little kid! I think somewhere in the recesses of my attic, I have a jacket that matches...with my name on the lapel...The tutorial rocks...but I have to say, Niki, I cannot for one second imagine having this much patience with a project. Its not in me.
