More of the same

My grandson hung my LED shop light for me.  It isn't the best choice for a living room, but since my living room is my sewing room (and my family room is my living room) it is a great choice.  I can't believe how much better I can see.  The only downside is it hurts your eyes to look directly at it and I can't find any kind of frosted plexiglass that fits over the lights.  Any Suggestions?
A friend of mine has 4 big tubs of fabric and doesn't sew, she was going to share some with me, so I made her these bags as a thank you.  Now my husband's health has taken a turn for the worse, so I told her I appreciate it, but won't take any at this time.  I still have the gifts to give her for her generosity.  I hope that my husband gets better soon, I have a grandson going to visit my son's family in Mexico in May, and I had hoped to make some things for them and send them along with my grandson.
My fabrics are running a bit short, so this bag is a little bit of a hodgepodge.  The fabrics all have some of the same shades though.  In the pocket is an eyeglass case and a key fob.
And, another car diddy bag with trash insert.  It's been a fairly lean week, but I'm sharing on SewCanShe's Show off Saturday, anyway.
Oops, almost forgot this one.  I bought the material about 10 years ago and made 2 or 3 smaller bags from it, meaning them for a family wedding.  I didn't get to go to the wedding due to my husband's health, so I gave mine away.  After I got my new light, I discovered the left over fabric  in my cupboard and decided to make myself another big bag, and use it just for everyday.  It is very metallic, and I think very pretty fabric.  I may be old, fat and homely, but I'll have lots of bling.

Hi Candace, so sorry to hear your hubby isn't doing well. Prayers for you both! I haven't been able to do much and nothing in the sewing department in a while but sure hope that will change soon. Love your bag collection. You always do cheery things. Have a beautiful day. Hugs, Marie
