A Favorite Handmade Gift
Isn't this tote bag the cutest? My mother-in-law made it and it was my favorite gift of all. She makes the most beautiful things and has such a knack for sewing. I think she should quit her day job as a teacher and start crafting it up full time. Her aprons, baby slings, and bags are always such a hit with her family and friends. Too bad crafting doesn't have health insurance. I tell you, that health insurance stuff really kills a lot of great dreams.
I just love the little button closure on it. I can see this going with me on lots of trips and it will make a great diaper bag as well.Lucky for me...a gift card to Starbucks was tucked inside. Now I can tote my library books over to the coffee shop and enjoy a free latte. What could be better than that? In my opinion, handmade gifts are the best in the world!









For Christmas my boys received 2 handmade sleeping bags shaped like Race Cars from my very favorite neighbor. She is so talented, and is a local school teacher. She teaches Sewing/Fabrics, and she is a lot of help. Anytime I'm stuck on a sewing project, I can call her up for help."
