Is it Friday already??? The last time I posted was Tuesday... this week is a blur! I took a photo of the little class project I was working on: little flannel draw string bags (23 of them!) that the kids will decorate with their own felt applique patch that they design and put together. It actually only took under 2 hours to sew all of the bags. After they are done, we will put candy in them to take home. I wanted to call them "Little Woodland Sprite Bags" because they're smaller than I intended and they'll have an autumn theme, but Nathaniel rolled his eyes at that!! Oh well.
We're off to see my Mom at my sister's house a couple hours away today. The kids are off of school. My Mom lives in Ohio and it's both of our birthdays next weekend. I was born on hers...she missed her own birthday party because of me! But she always said I was the best birthday present she ever got :)
Have a great weekend! I might pop in and see what you're all up to in the next couple days....
xoxo Bethany

Hi again oops sorry, wrong blog. I saw you on Moogsmum another of my favourite places to visit!!
Another cute bag. I love the one in the previous post too with all the farm animals. Adorable!
These bags ended up being 4 1/2" x 5". I just cut out 6" x 10" pieces and folded over the long length, ironed it, slid the ribbon under and sewed it down. Then I folded it in half, wrong side out and sewed up the bottom and side. So they are small! But I got all 23 out of one yard of fabric... I was being frugal!
so true, the last couple of weeks have flown by. Like a blink. Love the craft project. What a nice idea. Happy, happy birthday to you a few days early.
