Azuma Bukuro

Azuma Bukuro also known as a Japanese Bento Bag or sometimes referred to as market or origami bags. A stylish way to wrap a present or stash your knitting project when on the go!

A popular style bag and easy to sew, you'll have no problem finding tutorials on the web if you're interested.

I made a few others, see my previous post here.

Hummingbird

Was able to capture a few shots of this hummingbird at our feeder over the summer.

"Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love, joy and celebration. The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation."
