Finished Project Friday: Reusable Snack Bags

Image
By

I finished these a couple weeks ago, and it's been so nice to send lunch and snacks with my girls to school in these reusable snack bags and sandwich wraps. I made some back in August or September, but not nearly enough. I ended up using plastic bags twice a week for them. So, I finally took the time to make quite a few.


I'm such a sucker for fat quarters, and the last time my mom was here we went to the quilt store and I bought a bunch just for these bags. (Oh, btw, did you know that sometimes quilt store charge more for a fat quarter than for 1/4 yard of fabric, even though you get the same amount of fabric, just cut differently?) It seems I can't go to the quilt store without buying at least one fat quarter. These bags work up pretty quickly too. I altered the way I cut everything out this time, and I didn't serge every seam this time ... and they hold up a lot better. Anyway, I was thinking I'd make a bunch (probably just three or four sets) to go in the auction at our school carnival next week. What do you guys think ... would people be interested in buying something like this?

I think you should open an Etsy account and sell these. And a lot of the things you make. I can make these, but I probably would rather buy some. Same with the crayon holder you made. I want one. And could make one, but I don't have much time for projects like that. So I say do it!

Yep!! In fact if you ever want to make some for me I would LOVE to buy some. My girls are going to a school next year that requires them to bring their own lunches every day. I would totally be in the market for some if you ever want to make a little money. Let me know!

I was actually just thinking about going back to your post from last fall to find out how you made these - only to find you made them again. Now that we're making lunches consistently I'm realizing what a waste baggies are and would totally buy some.

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
