  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

Rifle Paper Company Fabric Makeup Bag

I adore this Rifle Paper Company floral canvas and it makes it VERY hard to cut into my stash of it!

Luckily I think it’s amazing with the Hobby Lobby canvas and the new rose gold zippers I picked up, so I was willing to cut into my precious floral canvas for this makeup bag for a friend’s Christmas present.

No pattern for this one, just basic bag with lining and zipper construction skills and cutting things to about the size I wanted them.
