Cascar'ones

We made five dozen cascarones this year (confetti eggs).  It would not be Easter without these.  Can't wait to break over someone's head, it's good luck.

Here are my sweet babies for Easter.  Dad took them.  I can't believe they both sat with him.  Griffin has been asking all week to go but I thought for sure Jonny would be out.  Dad may have bribed them him somehting.  Are they not the cutest!!! 

Totally accident bag

This bag looks NOTHING like the pattern I started out with.  I didn't know anything about lining a bag so I used fleece lining and it didn't make the purse do what it was supposed to so I ended up with this quilted, cottage looking thing.  I really like it weirdly especially because I messed it up really bad in spots.  I learned I'm not catching on to this sewing thing as easily as I thought.  I really can't sew at all but I can hide the heck out of mistakes.  This bag is huge.  It does have pockets on the inside but otherwise it is a very deep cave.  I will keep working on my sewing though because making purses and bags and becoming great at it is my goal.  Have a great work week all!!

Purse organizer

Not sure I love this little organizer.  I just made it last night and I'm going to give it a try.  It will be perfect for all those bandaids I have to cart around for Jonny.  Going to fill it and see how it holds up.  The outside is really cute.  It is a hot pad (.97) from Walmart folded in two with baggies on the inside for storage.  I added a cute button and some more yo yo flowers for cuteness.  If it works I will whip up a few some lucky ladies I know.  It seems perfect for the big bags we carry where everything just falls to the bottom and we can never find anything.

Cinch Bag

This is the first purse I have made with my sewing machine.  It took me six hours (lesson learned it doesn't have to be done in a day).  I have been stalking this pattern forever and now I have my own.  I love the chevron black and white and the cute pink yo-yo flower.  Yo yo's remind me of my Aunt Faye (I love you!).  Hope you like my first project, there is more to come.  That cute kid you see in the one is Griffin, of course.  He needed to be included.  My little wild man!
