Just for Fun! - Tote Bag - Custom Sewing

Loving the gathering and the states fabric. 

Not sure who this will go to but I had fun making it :)

For J&K - Tote Bags - Custom Sewing

 Ash and Katie have birthday parties to go to this weekend and wanted really cool gifts for their friends.  So this afternoon I made these smaller tote bags for their friends and we will go to the dollar store and pick out a couple of things to go in them :)

 I am liking this gathered fabric look on the bags.  Watch out I have a feeling that there will be more where this came from :)

Red, White, & Monkey

 New 4th of July dress for Monkey!  Totally love all the patterns together (not sure I would at first, but I do!)!!

She is getting WAY too big!

Batting Practice

 We took the pitching machine to practice on Saturday and all the boys got to practice. 

Here is Austin :)

 See the ball? He hits it!

He is grinning as the next pitch comes :)

 HIT and RUN!!!

Just so you all know how awesome this little man is...

The above picture is him running to home plate after he hit that

HOME RUN!!!

For Jolene - Flight Suit Diaper Bag

 LOVED making this bag for a new Momma here in Enid!  Her little girl was born a month early and she did not have a bag and wanted something special.  My friend Heidi (I made a dress for her daughter) gave her my number and told her I could help.

 One of the things I loved about this bag is that the fabric matches her crib bedding :)

(Please ignore the fuzz in the above pic.  There is always one fuzz that I miss.)

 I delivered this today and she totally LOVED it!  She was filling it so she could go and show off her bag to her friends.  She also called her hubby as I was leaving to order her a few patches for it :)

For Monkey - T-shirt Dress - Custom Sewing

 I saw this fabric at Hobby Lobby this weekend and had to have it!  I loved the colors and knew exactly what it would be!  I paired it with the lime green at the bottom and a t-shirt from Wally-World on the top and there you have it!  A new dress for Monkey!

I had her try it on on Saturday night and she was so made that I would not let her sleep in it. She walked all around church pointing and telling everyone, "My dress.  My pretty dress."  

Ans of course every little girl needs accessories so we added a bow and the fabric flower.

Fun in the Sun

 Last week in the middle of my sewing frenzy I had to get out and the kids and I needed some sun, so off we went to the splash pad.  It is the only one here and got a little crowded at the end but it was a ton of fun!  WE packed a picnic lunch and splashed and played for about 3 hours!  (I love the above picture because it looks like Natters only has one toe on the ground)

 Some serious Monkey thought :)

 I love the energy that Katie puts in everything that she does!

On the way home we went and got a snow cone and cooled off before heading home and then to a ball game.  I think that it is a day that will be repeated often!

For Laura - Large Summer Tote Custom Bag

 So I took my bag like this to church a couple of weeks ago and a friend stopped me and said that she HAD to have one.  So here it is :)

 Monkey had to have her picture taken too :)

A Day on the Farm

 To start with, we did not bring one of these home, even though it really made Natters sad.  So we went to a BBQ/baseball practice at one of the boys house on Austin's team.  They live on a working farm and Natalie and the other girls got to play with a lot of baby animals.

 Natalie's favorite of the babies were these Heeler/Lab mix puppies.  The momma really was great and let her hold this little girl for a long time.  She hugged and kissed and smiled at her puppy :)

Austin LOVED this little gray kitten!  He still talks to me to try and get me to go and get her and bring her home.

 More kisses.

 This is Natalie all proud to finally have two puppies, and Jacklyn (she lives there, and plays with Natters at the baseball games).

 Katie looks half dead here but this was her favorite, a new born chick hatched the night before :)

So much fun!  And yes there was parctice but I was too busy trying to make sure that Natalie did not drop the puppy that I didn't get pictures of that.

For Kristi - Flight Suit Bag

 This bag was for a dear lady on base, Kristi.  She is such a doll and wanted a fun sling bag for her trip to Italy this summer.  I am giving this to her tonight when I do their family pics.  Hope she likes it,  keep your fingers crossed for me :)

Love this bag!  

Now back to real life; dishes, diapers and dirty floors.

By the way... this is my 260th post!  Go me!!!

For Jan- Again :) - BDU Bag

 This is for my dear friend Jan that is leaving Vance tomorrow.  She asked me to make this one  a lot smaller for her so that she could jsut take it on date night or whatever.  It is about half the size of the other bags I have made but I really like it and hope that she does too :)

It closes with a magnetic clasp and has a divided pocket on one side.

For Me :)

 A couple weekends ago I met Emily in OKC for Time out for Women.  I was so excited and knowing that she just had her birthday and that we would be doing some running around and with summer on us (ok like I need a reason :)  I made us matching tote bags.  Hers is the same except where it is turquoise on mine hers is green (her favorite color).

 This is the back of the bag.  These are LARGE totes and I am totally in love with mine.

 Inside is really simple but you could add more pockets if you wanted.

Side.  These pockets are perfect for bottles of water, sippi cups and pretty much anything!

I had my bag at church a couple of weeks ago and a sister decided that she HAD to have one so I am making her one now.  I am really loving this commissioned sewing gig I am starting here :)
