Spring Pleated Bag

I am so in love with this new pattern my friend Natalie sent me.  It was such an easy bag to make and I love how roomy it is.  Both outside panels and inside lining are pleated, with a large pocket on one side and a flap pocket on the other.  I was originally going to add a zipper but flew by the step when I needed to add it so I did a snap closure instead, which I love.

So cute and it only took me a few hours!  Its no wonder my etsy shop sits empty, I never can part with my projects.  However I did go shopping at “Mom’s quilt supply shop” and came home with lots of fun materials.  I will have to do up a few of these new bags and some of my original and put them in the shop.

I found this great free download. It totally takes me back to my Boot Camp class in Tennessee! I love it! I downloaded it on my ipod and do my thing.

Mother’s Day

I decided to do a special project for my Mom this year.  I was so excited, I created a 4 generation picture for her.  It was so special and of course she cried.  She was an only child, and Morgan and I are both the only girls.  I forgot to take a picture of the finish project, but these are the pictures.  I so love my heritage, and love my relationship that I had with my Grandma, that I have with my Mom and that I have with my baby girl.

I love you ladies!

Not always what it seems

So I saw this way cute bag on a blog and thought it was a great project.  So I got everything together and headed to a friends.  It took two of us to complete and boy were we fooled by the picture.  It is a “little” bag.  Cute, but little.  I think after doing a few it may get easier, so I will have to try again because Morgan thought Grandma should have it for Mother’s day.  I hope she likes it.

Target Deals Busted

I have decided that if I want to get my freebie deals at Target, I need to do it first thing Monday morning. I went today to get:

Nivea body wash on sale $3.98. Use $4.00 MF coupon found in RP 5/2 *FREE*

Shelves empty :(

Kleenex hand towels on sale $2.98. Use Target coupon $1.00 and stack w/$1.00 MF coupon found in Smartsource 5/2

*.98 cents a box*

Shelves empty :(

Good thing they don't expire for awhile. I will just have to check back or hit another Target.

I did get some other good deals. Like B1G1F Tic Tacs, Kellogg's granola for 1.64 a box, Listerine and Kids Listerine for 1.39 and 1.44, and some great things in the $1 section for Chase's birthday.

I do love Target. They are great to be able to stack. Check out what coupons you could print and use w/ a MF coupon here.
