Carson's Diaperbag

Well, I posted Carson's diaper Bag on craftster, apparently my things aren't good enough for people to comment. I think I do a pretty good job on the things I make, but I guess since I use patterns and it doesn't have skulls, it's not appreciated. I see so many down right ugly or poorly put together things on the board and they get pages of comments. If you put in that it is your first bag/sewing project or I made this pattern myself - you can get a lot of comments. I think I may be done posting anything there - it's not good for my self-esteem.

Here are the photos.

This is Hunter's dvd player bag.

It holds the dvd player, 4 dvds, the cords and battery pack. He picked out the fabric, camo on the outside, US Marine logo on the inside.

This is Brody's book bag.

I used leftover charm squares from the Alien Invasion charm pack. A few were left over from the baby quilt I made him (wow - over 2 yrs ago)

Here is a bag I made using QuiltsIllustrated's Mini Charmer tote pattern.

The squares are from the "Alien Invasion" charm pack that I got from my favorite online fabric store.

Artsy-Crafty Tote

This is what I did this week-end. You know how when you are making something for someone else and there shouldn't be a stitch out of place. Let me tell you, I wore all the writing off the seam ripper. Anyway, I am fairly pleased with the finished product.

I used this pattern http://artsycraftybabe.typepad.com/tutorials/pleated_tote_pattern.pdf and made this bag

I used this tutorial http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=176509.0 and made this cosmetic bag

I had this water pressure issue with the kitchen faucet. Yesterday DH & I went to Home Depot (go Smoke) and bought a new faucet. It is so wonderful, I want to share a photo!I can't tell you what brand it is, but it has the sprayer in the spicot and since we would have an empty hole in the sink, we got the one with the soap dispenser. How cool is this!

Baseball Update

So far the RedSox are 4 - 0. Great season so far. No game this week-end, so I think I will sew. Sewing machine and computer aren't broke, so housework will have to wait!

Baseball has started!

Hunter's first baseball game was last Saturday. They 'run-ruled' the other team. He had 2 hits, 1 walk and scored 3 runs. MeMaw didn't keep track of RBIs. Having been there, I felt bad for the other team, but so happy that his team won!

Next game is tomorrow morning - hope they do as well.
