crafting continued
October 30, 2007
I decided it was time I tried out the paper flowers from Martha. We hung them in Keely's room. I wonder how long they'll hold their shape? They look quite pretty. I wish I could've found some deeper shades of tissue though-instead of the pastel. Ah well.
Then, this is what I've got going on in our baby corner.
-some red, some blue, some birds, all above the changing table.
Then I went to make myself a camera bag, but couldn't really figure out a way to do it. I made myself a new bag instead! It's interfaced with some thick felt, so it holds its shape better than most of my totes.
Oh! tried out the little pom-pom pumpkins from Liquid Paper too. I had to choose between rusty orange and fluorescent orange though. I'm sure they'd be cuter in a normal pumpkin shade. These are for Keely's dollhouse.
Alright, this completes my recent crafting adventures. Now, Keely insists that she wants to dress up as a ghost for Halloween. I've tried to make her a costume. One is a sheet turned tunic/dress thing and the other a gauzy long skirt with white shirt, but I think they are way lame. I don't know what to put on her head. She won't go for face paint either. I know it doesn't really matter because she'll only make it up our street probably, but…I obsess. Off to ponder this now.

Ooh, I remember being a ghost. I was about 8; I took 2 baby towels and sewed the head-corners together, then cut out holes for my eyes.
That is a beautiful bag!

I wanted to comment to tell you I made a camera case last week that I think turned out pretty well, but I see Amy beat me to it.
Those little pumpkins are so cute!

Hi! i really like the black and white bag material. I am wanting to make a baby sling and I just can’t find the perfect black and white material. Your bag has me green with envy!

I love the fabric you used for your new bag.
