Little Projects

Since I've decide that it's all a joke and this baby is never coming, I mine as well get a few things done, right? Nothing major but gotta stayed occupied.
Recently, my little niece was baptized. I want to make her a little scripture tote for her new scriptures. I wanted to do something a little different than your normal tote. I knew her scriptures would be the small kind and so I made the bag to hold them upright not the sideways option. I wanted to do this for Liam but it's kind of hard to come up with a "manly" bag. I'm gonna have to get more creative. Back to the subject. . . I had some fabric left over and thought it might work. Then I decided I wanted to make it more girly and it needed flowers, not ruffles. I was pretty pleased how they turned out. Thanks Cally for your tutorial. The buttons I just happen to have around the house. I actually enjoyed sitting down and making the tote. It took my mind off of having this baby for once.

This project is posted pretty late. I had been trying to think of what to do with the food storage #10 cans when I finished with the food. I just couldn't throw them away. At the time it was football season and I finally got inspired. . . bean bag toss. On the back of the cans are points for them to toss the bean bags into. It will be great for tailgating next year. They aren't beautiful, but I already had the spray paint and we made the stencil ourselves. This was 100% FREE. Can't beat that! Plus, the kids think they are awesome. Unfortunately, I don't have a great place to store them so now they have become storage for other things. One holds socks that have lost their match decoratively sitting in the laundry room. I love double purpose items.
I've also decided that my extra cans next time I will use to give as gift items. They would be great to fill with sports things, sweet treats or whatever!
