My Sister is So Talented!

My sister, who is really just one of my absolute best friends, is one of the most talented people I know. We have bonded so much that I feel weird just calling her a friend. She’s so much more than that.
If you pay attention to my posts, you’ve probably seen me share a lot of the things she has made in the past. She’s made me several sweaters, shirts, pajama sets, and other things. She’s made stuff for both kids, for Chris, and she even made several things that I gave out as Christmas presents last year.
Anyway, a few weeks ago, she sent me a package that had several hand-sewn box bags and other organizational bags and boxes. I finally cleaned off my side table in the bedroom and got to put all the bags to use, so I thought I would share them with you.
The ones in the picture are my tablet case, a patchwork storage bag that my four-year-old nephew picked all the pieces of fabric for, and a bag that holds all the odds and ends on my side table, like my medicine bottles, gummies, and a lighter for when I go out to “eat” my “salad.”
The brown one with feathers in the front has my snacks in it: a couple packs of Bee Up fruit snacks, a few snack cakes, and my tuna jerky.
I also have a blue-and-white checkered one that my laptop goes in, but it wasn’t in the picture when I took it because my laptop was charging.
Anyway, I just wanted to share the wonderful work she does! She really is incredibly talented, and I’m so lucky to have her as my sister and one of my very best friends.
Do you have any talented friends or family members?

There are some talented people. My nephew is a talented musician. Sings and plays guitar. He's a chiropractor in Nashville. One of my aunts used to crochet a lot and we'd get slippers and potholders, scarfs and all sorts of other things.
These bags are a good idea.

And what about you? Are you talented?
I mean I guess you are pretty good at telling sub par jokes. LOL I kid, I kid.

@thislittlepennyearns I'd like to THINK I am talented. I mean, I make music (or something I guess you could call that). I write. I do blogs and YouTube. I guess that could count as something, right?

Those bags are amazing. I would love to have a selection of these.

@thislittlepennyearns I checked shipping costs on a small item a week ago and it's just horrendous. I think of you every time I see that book 'Under Australian Skies'. It's still in my bookcase. I'm sure it was you who was keen to get a copy? The postage on that was horrendous at the time and would probably be more so now.

I'm sure she would ship to you, but I am also sure that it would be very expensive to ship from Iowa to Australia.
