Updated Diaper Bag

A friend requested a new diaper bag, to match her stroller and not too girly.....here's what I came up with



she loves it and so does her hubby!



the inside has 2 large pockets for diapers and wipes.

This bag was made in the same design as many of the purses I make. I think it's the first diaper bag I made with a zipper.

Thanks for stopping by....Carolyn

This rocking chair welcomed and directed guests, it now sits on my front porch....



A short video was played to announce the arrival of the couple....



The Bride & Groom arrived at the reception by skipping across a bridge....



The peanut butter icing on the chocolate wedding cake was melting and sliding off the cake, so they cut the cake before the meal....

New Summer Purse for ME

This is not a new style purse but I included raw edge applique and free-style/swirly quilting.

The 2 sides are totally different.....

and the bottom is striped......

(close-up of applique)

I LOVE this bag....the size and shape are perfect for me.

I'm glad I took some time out of wedding preparations to make this bag....it seemed to take a long time to make it. First, I just couldn't make up my mind on some of the design elements and I didn't designate long periods of sewing just for this special treat for myself....but I'm so happy it's finished before the big event!

Thanks for visiting my Blog!
