Another Backpack

My lovely boot camp partner loved my backpack so I said I would make her one. Unfortunately I didn't have any more Melody Miller fabric. So I decided to give her my one and make myself another one.

I decided to cut into some Heather Ross fabric because I want to use my stash up. It took a while to get up the courage to make the first cut but I am so glad I did.

Backpack

I'm sick of using Jeff's daggy backpack when I'm walking if I need to take things like wallet, water etc.  So I used this tutorial to make myself a new one.

I had a bit of trouble finding the grommets but Susie pointed me in the right direction.  It was super easy to make and I'll give it a workout on Thursday when I go to boot camp.

A Lovely Surprise

 Just as we were leaving for Lucy's first day of school on Monday I noticed a package in the letterbox.  I knew I hadn't ordered anything lately so I ripped it open as the kids were getting in the car and was surprised to see this from my lovely friend Karen

 

 She had recently made these art smocks for her girls and I commented that Lucy would be going in a bought one as I was slack and being such a lovely person she made one for Lucy.  The card was so lovely it bought a tear to my eye and it made me realize even more how lucky I am to have found some wonderful friends through crafting.

 Here's Lucy trying it out that night, fits perfectly.  Thanks again Karen.
