I did not forget this week! I haven’t touched my sewing machine or any of my craft materials since before Christmas, but I can show those Christmas gifts that I got to deliver last week.<\/p>\n

Well, actually…I can show a few of them. You’d think I would do a much better job of remembering to take photos of the projects. And remember to take them during the daylight in a nice well (natural) lit spot. But I did neither of these. Again.<\/p>\n

I made my niece a messenger bag.<\/p>\n

Complete with a little bird applique. Of course. And birdie material for the lining.<\/p>\n

I guesstimated her height (ah, as tall as me?!!) just about right and it hits on her hip. I was pleased. And I think she liked it.<\/p>\n

And I made a bag for my sister, too. I’ve had this pink\/brown bird fabric for months and months just waiting for a good project to use it on. I really like it with the brown.<\/p>\n

Alexis modeling for me, again. I made Meesh’s bag a little bit longer to hold her laptop or file folders, etc. (Or I suppose diapers and baby toys, too?)<\/p>\n

And I finished my mom’s bag at the very last minute as well – and then never took a pic of it. I’ll have to bug her or Dad and see if they’ll send me a photo of it. I made hers deeper so that she could carry 12×12″ scrapbooking papers and stuff for when she goes to her card classes. It is a khaki color with an awesome natural print for the lining. And an initial C in the contrasting fabric. I also really liked hers. I think I finally got the proportions right on hers. It would also make a good shopping bag.<\/p>\n

I’m anxious to get to the list of projects that I’d like<\/strong><\/em> to work on, but we have three birthday parties on Saturday, and all the kids are getting SuperCapes. So guess what I’m doing this week?<\/p>\n

How about all of you? It is safe to show all the Christmas goodies now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
