And Again

The list of friends with birthdays continues. As I had a sick child home today - seems to be going around the school/county/country - it seemed a good time to quietly get another gift made at a rather relaxed pace.


It's for a purple loving girl this time. I'm selfishly loathe to use the few good purples I have, but found that there was a half yard of this particular one so I didn't sulk like a three year old when I cut into it. 


The lining is a piece of Tilda fabric I've had for just about ever. I liked the contrast of the traditional versus modern between the interior and exterior. A bit of hand stitching, and one happy daughter. Not a bad way to spend the day at all. 

Besides, we made Rice Krispy treats. Haven't made these in ages. So easy and so good.

  2. I totally know that hoard-y feeling. I've started buying more half yards for exactly that reason! I love the interior exterior combo---it's very 21st-century mash-up. :)
