what I like about winter: exhibit d

christmas projects:

*WARNING* norway spoiler
your package is in the mail...if you wish to be surprised, DO NOT scroll down to the photo :-)

here is a long awaited photo (albeit a BAD one, sorry) of the christmas project I was working on last month. before I realized, all the packages had been wrapped and packaged so this was the only photo I had remembered to get.

I made personalized library totes for all the little people in my life. they were not my best work but I am proud of them nonetheless. I started with this pattern and went from there.

the bags themselves are made of blue denim and a pink stretch denim-like material with the letters cut out of various cotton/corduroy I had in my stash. the letters were adhered using wonder-under and even though it was heavy duty, I wonder about the longevity of it holding.

*apology*
if you received a bag, I'm sorry if the letter doesn't last very long. I'm new to this iron-on thing!

each bag was filled with goodies custom to its recipient...either books to read or books to color or books to write in or little toys.

ps: I've been told by angie that abby and alex use their bags to grocery shop...I love it!
