Raising Three Little Men

Aug. 27, 2007 - Sewing fun...

I thought I'd show you all the diaper bag I made this morning for a lady in our church. The shower is tonight so I was pushing it pretty close (to my deadline...). I was luckily able to finish it in three hours. I started at 8:00 a.m. and finished it at 12:00 p.m. I think it turned out okay. I would've rather done the bag with the velcro closure ,but my hubby likes the zipper closure better and wanted me to use this pattern instead- so I did.  Anyway, here are some pictures of it- what da' ya think?

The side profile- I added flowers to the top of the pocket- I thought it was cute. :)

Here is the inside, it includes three pockets.

I thought I'd show you where I do all my sewing- in the corner of our bedroom! It gets pretty crowded, but until we find a three bedroom house this will just have to do. The first picture is of my sewing machine. I'm am very blessed to have this machine. My hubby sold a piece of machinery he had in order to buy me this. We bought it second hand  and we still paid a pretty penny for it! It's a Husqvarna Viking Designer 1; it does embroidery and has a color touch screen- it pretty much has a little, mini computer in it. It's awesome! What can I say, I have a wonderfully thoughtful husband! ;)

Here is a look of my little 'sewing corner'. It gets pretty messy when I'm in the progress of sewing something...

This is the large pile of 'projects' I still have yet to start, and I have allot more where this came from! Notice the serger my husband bought me on clearance at Wal-Mart. It's cheap, but it does a pretty good job. I'm just thankful I have one!

One more thing before I go- look who I got to watch Saturday evening!
Isn't she gorgeous and sooo tiny?! She is three weeks old now and most likely still weighs under six pounds. She is in preemie clothing and they are still too big! Anyway, my brother-in-law took her mother out to dinner and I got to have her for the evening! I hope I get to see more of her- she was an absolute joy to have!

Well, I think that's all I have for today! Hope you all have a wonderful day! :)

I think that your boys want you to have another baby. They look enthralled with her.

I love the diaper bag! The flowers on the pocket give it a cute touch.
