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.

Inspiration from a Far Friend

I've been posting a bunch but haven't really been spending much time poking around to check on my far away friends. So tonight, while the boys read in August's room and Hazel snoozed, I read up on your lives. A lot has happened out there folks. Too much really to talk about here.
It's a new year and many of you have turned new leaves, exposed new sides of yourselves, made new commitments. It's inspiring really. I'm still working on this whole new year thing. I think the transition of having the kids back in school will allow me to do a bit of reflecting.
In the mean time, I'm going to take a page from Melissa's book and join her in a bit of a pay it forward thing.
The first 3 folks who comment on this post will receive a handmade gift from me. I can't promise how quickly said gift will arrive in your mail box as I'm breaking through weeks of un-productivity but a hand made gift you shall have. There's a catch though- you've gotta do the same. You've got to make 3 handmade gifts to send out to the first three signer uppers.
Ready?
Set?
