The Alexander Tote/Diaper Bag

So here is the finished product. This bag was a lot of work, but I think it turned out great. Anything with zippers just takes me longer for some reason, not to mention creating a new pattern.
So this bag features a split pocket on the outside front, and 2 end pockets on both ends. There is a large inside pocket with a velcro tab closure, and a zipper along the top to hide all that mess you've got inside. Made with chocolate brown polka-dot strap and red lining and sides and base. This is a very functional bag. I'll be selling this one at the Cranberry Farms Boutique in 2 weeks. If it doesn't sell there, I'll put it on Etsy.

Today's project

This is what I'm up to today. Finishing this bag. I started it with the idea of a diaper bag, but it could also be a tote or handbag. Idn't it cute?

Orange Dreamsicle Purse

I made another purse today. Eggshell white with orange stitching and orange interior. The interior fabric is by Anna Marie Horner. I wish the button was a tad brighter, but it's all they had in orange, and I love these giant buttons.

Table Cloth Skirt and Dinner Party Top GIVEAWAY !!!!!!!

Check out this adorable outfit giveaway on Grosgrain. I love it! I also love the chandelier, and though I consider myself somewhat handy, I couldn't quite follow how she made it. I don't have any electrical know-how. But I want one. :) Pin It

Pretty clipboard

I found an old clipboard and decided to pretty it up. I used some wrapping paper that was created and gifted to me by my talented friend and coworker, Suzanne. Unfortunately the paper was a little thin for the task, and tore a little in one spot along the edge, so I recommend using a heavy wrapping paper or even wallpaper. Scrapbook paper was a little to short to fit. I used mod podge to glue it all on. I intend to used it to hang my lists of projects I want to complete, and sketches of projects and other such things. You should try it. Easy, fun, cheap, and cute.
