More Felt Booties

A sleepless night is my excuse for the blogging frenzy. Do pardon me.

So here are some felt booties I made for the Expecting Couple. I wanted a tennis shoe look
and I think they turned out pretty cute. The felt is 20/80 wool rayon I think.
I purchased a bunch of colors from Vintage Vogue.

Diaper Bag - Purse

So I have some really beautiful fabric that I want to make a bag with. I think larger bags are in, but I don't want it huge. Now that Little Man is older I don't feel like I need as much - so I need room for a couple of diapers and change of clothes. I designed a bag and donated it to an auction for La Leche,
so these are the pictures of the prototype. I think it turned out well, but I will make it a little
smaller next time and maybe interface the inside as well to give it a little more shape.



The inside had 10 pockets and compartments, including a zippered one. Thanks to Craftster for the tut.



I took this pic before I found the perfect button.



Detail of embroidery on front. I used stem stitch and back stitch in two different colors to
complement the orangeish-red lining color. I was sad to part with this, but it has a great new home and
 I know where it loves. I shall have to visit on occasion. =-)

How much would you pay for a bag like this? It's very large - probably 20 inches long at least with a 6 inch gore. Big enough for an overnight bag. I've thought about starting a shop on Etsy or something,
 but there's so much competition. I don't know if local sales would be very profitable here.
*sigh* If wishes were horses...

Into. Everything.

His morning occupation revolved around removing as many things from the (very disorganized)
 container cupboard as possible.



His afternoon ramblings included a sojourn into the bathroom,
where he had a lot of fun as well, as you can see.



So now we're vigilantly keeping bathroom doors closed. There are too many things to find,
the toilet brush being one of them. (My nightmares of Little Man include grotesque things like that, and chicken poo also factors in largely.)  Aghhh!
