A bit of sewing!

Friday I was supposed to be doing laundry, cleaning, packing, etc as we were going away for the weekend.
Instead I did some sewing. Because, well, I wanted to LOL!

But, tell me, wasn't it worth it:

The kids picked out the fabric and each decorated the white fabric on their bag.

I followed the Treasure Bag directions in the book Handmade Home by Amanda Blake Soule (who I so want to be like when I grow up and also I'd so move into her house if she ever invited me and my family!).

And you know, when I saw this grin:

It was so worth blowing off the housework!

  1. I agree. Its so worth not scrubbing the toilet when we create beautiful things that make our children smile like that. Would they have smiled if you had showed them a shiny toilet? I think not. Totally worth it!
