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.

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

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....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
