Teacher Gift DIY

The other day when I went to pick up my little guy at school his teacher shared a funny story of something he had said during story time. It had me cracking me up for hours later.  I was sure that she hears cute phrases from the kids all the time so I thought it would be nice to make her a pretty cover for a book where she could write down all the funny quips that she hears daily.  Needless to say, I had to use my new fave chalkboard fabric.  Results were not half bad.

 

Sister Act

Last week week we had 3 sisters (one married into the happy bunch) come in to make tote bags.  The girls had a grand old time and in between conversation and giggles managed to bang out 3 pretty awesome bags.  What I found so  fascinating was how with such a simple shape their choice in fabric turned out such different bags.  I particularly loved how each bag mirrored their bright personalities.

The farmer girl of the troop choose a Kokka fabric with pigs, the really cute part is that her name is Charlotte. Why is it that “Charlottes” have an affinity for adorable little pigs…
