Blast 21 :: Mini bags for smallish people

This is sort of a cheat - see that bag there?

Just made it.

Now, it should be yesterday's bag but see, when you make a bag at say...11pm and leave it in a heap on the kitchen table...in the morning...certain little girls (or a certain little girl as this case may or may not be...) might just come along....

and claim it.

then stuff it with things.

then insist on taking it with as you all rush out the door.

then leave it somewhere.

all before you get to take a picture.

hypothetically, of course.

But that's okay. I figure I am one step ahead for tomorrow, right?

Also, some little girls want so much to be like their big sisters.

And have mini purses. Even though they already have...say 20 of them, give or take. But, then again, so do their big sisters ...so I guess that would be fitting.

Oh goodness, what am  I breeding here.... 
  

Note :: I totally love, love the One Hour Bag tutorial for a basic 'how to' on how to make a quick bag. We've used variations on this a bazillion times for all kinds of bags (okay, slight exaggeration...maybe.)
The fabric is Kokka El anche jouet...

Blast 11 :: do dads..hair thingies... barrettes! (and a winner!)

And,  as you can see, (or not) my camera battery charger is still MIA ..I think we are at the point of ordering a new one. Any day now, please..please...pretty please?
 
Last night was another one of those nursing the wee one, getting cozy and so very (yyaawwwnnn!) sleepy. So there I was again, 1:30 am this time (I think I have a biological clock for this kind of thing) and not a craft to be done. There was a quick urge to sew (yes! I have one machine working now) but, it being such a late (or early) hour...I thought it best to wait on that impulse.

I stumbled into the studio (literally, since the doorway was/is blocked with crafty goodness) and found ....barrettes. So simple....so lovely and perfect for birthdays coming around the corner. The basic barrettes came from here  and I used my handy glue gun to adhere some of this fun and super cute Kokka linen ribbon to (also from Etsy).

Viola! 15 minutes from the stumble to completion - and back to bed.

P.S. I will try to post how long each blast takes to complete so folks can block off time for something they may be interested in :)

and PPSS?

Our Winner of course!

Who would be.... Marisa!!
What a great challenge you are putting yourself upto.... I have a plethora of girls (ok, 3)who would look lovely in a crown. :)

Thanks so much for playing along Marisa! Hope one of your girls (or all!) will enjoy this! My wee one (well, she's almost 3 and not the wee-est one...) drew your name :)

Shoot me a message at writeus4@yahoo.com with your address and I will send this out this week :)


I hope everyone plays along again this Saturday for another drawing!
xoxo

(Charger now found...hallelujah!)
