The heat has kept me from posting the past week because the even the thought of sewing made me feel hot all over. I couldn't even turn on my computer knowing that it would just generate more heat in my already boiling apartment, so I wasn't even able to post any old work that I've done. Thankfully the heat has finally broken and I'm able to get back to work. I'm hoping to get some more work done on my coat tonight. I purchased some metallic closures for it over the weekend from Windsor Button. I was worried that I wasn't going to find what I was looking for since some initial searching on the Internet came up empty. Luckily Windsor Button had exactly what I was looking for. I swear they aren't paying me, however if the kind and helpful people at Windsor Button want to hook me up with some complimentary yarn I won't complain.

In addition to buying supplies for my coat I was able to score this purse from TJMaxx at way below retail. I have wanted a Hobo bag for a while since I tend to drool whenever I see them. I couldn't pass it up. Mine is a light green color and I love it as much as one can love an accessory. I need to mention that the TJMaxx at Downtown Crossing is a goldmine for designer purses. Last year I found my favorite leather purse there on clearence for $40 originaly $200. I'm a sucker for a nice leather purse and a bargain. They are also not paying me, but again I won't say no to a free purse or two.
