a recent project
Before I get to the project stuff I feel I should mention that when Mark and I moved from Houston to Sioux Falls a few months ago we were looking forward to a crisp Autumn, a nice cold Winter and a warm (but not too warm) Spring and Summer. And while they say that two out of three (or four) ain't bad, I must interject with an it ain't so good either. Simply put... it would not bother me a bit if it warmed up now. Thankyouverymuch.
Fabric + trim.
Here's a peek at a small tote bag I made for a friend's baby shower. It measures about 9 x 9 inches and is lined in the khaki colored cotton. The trim is from superbuzzy (of course!) and reads "We are taking the train."
Oh, such lovely fabric! The trim is adorable.

I love your choice of fabrics and I especially love that the gift could be for a boy or girl.
The best baby gifts I ever got were handmade!

It's hard to find middle ground isn't it? Here I am in Houston wishing it was just a bit cooler. ;)

I'm with you on the weather. It sucks here too.
The project is so cute! I might have to get some of that trim, although what I'd do with it is beyond me.
