Halloween Hair Bows

So I guess I should have posted this a long time ago, but if anyone needs Halloween hair bows I have ribbon left to make some. Here are some samples of what I made for the kids at work.

New Purse Pattern

First off, let me say how much I love the internet and all the fabulous ladies and their craft blogs. I love that someone else has made these cute things and then put on the instructions on the internet for everyone to use. It's great! So here is the new purse I made for me. I love the fabric. I am a bit frustrated with myself though. I made this on Wednesday night and I was staying up to finish it, but I could tell it was getting too late for me to be up. I was making so many mistakes and had to pick out a few seams. Then to top it off I forgot to put the Pellon (iron on stabilizer) on it to make the purse stiffer. So I may be going to buy some more of this fabric to make it again.

It looks like it needs something else. I made a tie and was going to put some belt loops around the purse but that doesn't look right. What do you think? I have enough fabric left over that I was going to try to make a checkbook holder to match the purse.

Uh..Oh..I went to the fabric store again

So the girls were invited to a birthday party tomorrow for the girls across the street. It's a double birthday party one of the girls is Dacia's age and the other is Ash's age. I decided to give something new a try for their gifts. I seen it on the internet and have been wanting to make them. As always, I found the basic instructions, but then did my own thing.


What kid doesn't like to draw and this way all the pencils have a little home. I think I will make the girls each one for Christmas. Then maybe they will put their stuff away when they are done coloring.
