I learned a new trick. I made a ton for a garage sale this weekend. I wonder how much I should sell them for. What would you pay for them?

Here are some new clips that my friend Susan and I made today. I think they urned out pretty cute. I love my new Crop-a-dile too!!!!




This one is a snail. I just haven't put his antennas on yet.

Another Bag....Hawaiian Style

Here it is. This one was made from a table runner. They did have place mats last time I looked, but they were all out of them. So, I found a table runner. I can't decide if I made it a little too long. What do you think. I also made sure I put the strap on better.
Notice I did a pocket this time?
Sorry for the bathroom shot. We only have mirrors in the bathroom since I've broken three of the long ones since I've lived here;(

Ok, so I had two place mats left. I was thinking about a library bag for Mckenzie, but once I started putting it together I thought that Kellie should have a cool church bag too:) Not to mention that they would be so cute going to church all matching!!!! I think it turned out super cute!!!!! Although, I did put the strap on backwards. Oh, and that strap is from an old bag that Ryan got for free at a conference he went to a few years ago. I might take the time to flip the strap.....we'll see.

Here are two new bags I made for my sister's kids. They needed new scripture bags. I tried to make them slightly different so the weren't exactly the same. These are made out of place mats. They were on clearance at Tuesday Mornings for $6.00 for 4. Not too bad. I think I'm going to use the other two and make a big bag for the library.

Here is another place mat project. Chris told me how to do this. You pretty much just fold the place mat in half and sew up the sides. Then, sew diagonals on the bottom of each side. Then, I looked in the ribbon section and found this thick ribbon. It was only .83 per yard. So, I sewed it around the top and then sewed the handles on.







It turned out pretty cute. The only problem was that right before I finished it my sewing machine broke. Like BROKE! I finished the rest by hand, but now I'm bummed about my sewing machine. I heard that JoAnn's does repairs so maybe I'll take it in tomorrow and see what they think.
