Diaper Pouch

I'm weening from a big diaper bag to something small. Small enough to fit in my purse. My youngest is almost completely out of diapers. I still wanted to be able to carry some essentials, in case of accidents, just to be safe. The diaper pouch fits a pack of wipes and 3 diapers with room to spare.

I added a velcro pocket to the back and decorated with topstitching.


The front is screen printed and has some topstitching for decorations too.

Recipe can be found at Bakerella.

Bag Tag

I saw this bag tag on My Moments and thought I’d play. Here are the rules for the tag:

1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are using today - not last weekend when you and your hubby went out to that fabulous restaurant. No cheating!!!
2. Tell us how much it cost. This is a no-judgment zone — there will be no ridiculing or eye rolling here. And, if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, tell us.

I purchased this Mossimo bag from my favorite store, Target ...$16.99. No story behind it. I fell in love with the yellow. I walked in for diapers and milk, stepped out with a really cute bag.

On My Desk Wednesdays :: Book Labels

Teaser ::

"You mean am I serious with John?" My heart raced at this idea-exciting and terrifying at the same time. (pg 91 Going too Far by Jennifer Echols)

Sunday Stashes

Amy Butler's Midwest Modern Fresh Poppies Fuchsia.

More stashes.

Special Delivery

The fabric for my first quilt has arrived. I forgot I ordered two new patterns as well, all Amy Butler. When I walk into the fabric store, I tend to gravitate towards her fabrics more than any other designer. Does that make me a Butler snob?

On My Desk Wednesdays :: Topstitching

Adding some decorative stitching to a bag/pouch I'm making. Full pictures will be posted as soon as I'm done.

Teaser Tuesdays :: New Meme

Here's a new meme I will be playing along with. A little peek into what I'm reading in my spare time.

Found this meme here and here.

Teaser ::

"You're making something out of nothing," I say, hoping to convince her, hoping to convince myself. " The only thing Damen and I have in common is our taste in movies and costumes. That's it, I swear." And when I smile, I'm hoping it plays more real than it feels.

(pg 75 Evermore by Alyson Noel)

1st Quilt :: Fabric Changes

I thought I was settled on my fabric choices, turns out I wasn't. I'm loving green right now and really wanted to incorporate it. Playing around in Illustrator (again) I came up with new fabric choices ... the final choices ... no turning back, the fabric is ordered and on the way. I'm going with a solid color for the border/trim, but I haven't made a final decision on what color yet.

Ordered my fabric from fabric.com. Shipping is free (in the US). This is new so I'm not sure if it's promotional or a new change.
