Okay, so this is not at all uncommen to feel this way. thanks for all the feedback! Now that Im a sewer I feel for my MIL when people show up with a pile of pants to hem or a huge bag of tshirts for their son's quilt. She does not ask or even offer to do these things. It seems like its expected of her. Bless her heart, she never says no.
Here is the only pic I took of the first purse. This is the one I carry and I keep telling people it will always be mine.

I dont know about it being "all the rage" but I really love it.
