oh, please. Say you still love me.

Jeez, I had no intention of being gone for an entire week. It's amazing how quickly the time goes, especially when working on such important things like birthday parties for small people.

But I am prepared to bribe my way back into your good favor......
with Favor Bags.
I got a little excited when making these drawstring bags for Maisy's party and have a few left over. So if you know any little boys who would like a train bag (I have 2) or any girls that love Tinkerbell (I have 4 of those) just send me an email and I'll send them your way.
Also here's a picture of the Mama Backpack I made for Maisy. It's just the perfect size and the drawstrings make it easy to put one of her babies in it for Farmer's Market.

The tutorial for this at HappyThings is fantastic. The directions and measurements were easy to understand and follow. I highly recommend any of her tutorials, they're all awesome.
(oh, and that's where i got the favor bags from too. )

okay, I swear and cross my heart to write much much more this week and all following weeks until Arlo's birthday (but that's not until November).
I even have a secret project that I'm working on. I'm soo excited and I'll absolutely show pictures when I'm done.

while looking to purchase oil cloth I came upon your site, your daughter is as wonderful as the pictures. The handbag project might have leant itself to a heavier fabric, such as slipcover, drapery, or interfacing might have given it some more body. Finding your site made my Sunday morning bright, before heading off to work, Carol
