I sure did bend the rules!

I'm trying to gear up for sending out some handmade items, so while the kids were busy this afternoon I busted open that Bend the Rules sewing book. I most definitely bent the rules. Not sure if this is what the tote bag was supposed to look like but here it is regardless.




Hazel is pleased as punch to have a new "Going to the Library book bag"











Off she goes, to read the Eric Carl books I put in the bag. She's so easy to please sometimes.

Cute. When (if) I get a laptop, I'll commission you to make a bag for me - only without pink flowers. I ain't one a-them after all.
