made NEW stuff & kids off to NEW school

Here they are on their first day waiting for the bus. Most of them look happy!


Here is what I get when Dad tells them to smile for me.

Man child #2 finally cracks somewhat of a smile and darling daughter #2 just loves to have her picture taken. She'll start to pose if she even thinks you might be thinking of getting out the camera.

Ok on to the cool stuff I made. This is a cell phone cozy for man child #1. He has to keep his cell phone in his locker during school hours so I thought a cozy would be good to keep it from getting scratched up. This is the first time I've ever made anything so small and I've only made tote bags and a few quilted bags before this. So even though the flap is too wide, I'm pretty proud of it. I think he likes it too.

I was really happy to finally get to use those cute little snaps that I figured I would just keep forever.

And this is a hand bag I made with the intention of gifting or selling it, but I really like it and am thinking of keeping it.

These are the little zipper bags that match it. And I'm thinking of making my own matching cell phone cozy LOL!
