Coloring Bag

I made a little coloring bag a year or so ago and my granddaughter has loved it and taken it to church .  It is made with these cute pink floral and stripe fabrics, very girly.

My three year old grandson decided that he needed a bag to take to church, so he kind of  “stole” it from his sister and was wearing it at church.  Someone made a comment to him about “nice purse” and he was very defiant about the fact that it was not a purse, but that it was his crayon bag!  (No confidence issues here!)  Well, Grandma decided that perhaps he needed a more “manly” looking coloring bag, (and the fact that she wanted to practice her quilting skills) so this is what I came up with.

Wedding Subway Art Picture

Love is in the Air!

Last week I promised you a gift idea that you can use for all those spring weddings that are coming up!

This is a fun subway art picture.  I buy a nice frame to put this in and add a note that they can change out the picture later for one of their wedding pictures when they get them back!   Although a lot of the recipients like the subway art and say that they are not going to change it out! :)

Make-up Bag and Brush Holder

One of the stops that we made on our recent trip was at the Mac Cosmetic Store in Las Vegas!  I love going to this store because we only have Mac Counters in Utah, so when I get close to a store I try to make a visit!  :)

I love their products and the quality, but they are a little pricey so I feel like I have to be careful when using them and take good care of my products.  So when I got home I decided that a new make-up bag and brush holder were in order!

April Calendar Ideas

Here are my ideas for my calendar for this month.

Most of these things were just purchased.  Not a lot of homemade here this time, but when you can buy cute things that are already made there is no sense in making them, right?  I did add my own touch to a couple of the items.
