Noticed anything strange...

I'm trying to update my blog to show all the things that I've taken pictures of - so I'll try to post things with the dates they were created - when you scroll through the blog you'll see a bit of time travelling.

So even though this blog was created in 07 - I've got postings from 2001 to present - basically anythign that has a digital picture.

Tote bags R Us

This weekend I decided to sew and this is what I finished:

1 - Yoga Monkey bag. Bought the cute fabric on eBay, lined with a remnant from Walmart, magnetic snap and a few pockets.

2 - Same pattern but used Dick and Jane fabrics from Len's Mills. Both these fabrics and the Monkey fabric and Michael Miller - love their cute prints. Magnetic strap but not as many pockets as I only had enough fabric to make the bag.

Pattern used is found here: http://artsycraftybabe.typepad.com/tutorials/pleated_tote_pattern.pdf

E saw the second bag and tried to claim it for his teacher - umm nope it's mine!! I think it will become a knitting bag. May need to make a trip to Len's next weekend to get more of this fabric to make the teacher something for the end of the year.

Pictures to follow as soon as they are taken
