Quick little craft project

Here is a little craft project that can be done in just a couple of minutes! Next time you cook, keep one of the glass jars, wash it, and take the lables off. Get some sort of strings or whatever you have at home, some glue, maybe some other little nick nacks (optional) you want to decorate it with and voila!

Use it as a candle jar, vase, or to keep your pens organized.

And the winner is...

Esther! Congratulations...again. ;)

I hope you can use the organizer and bib somehow.

Thank you everyone for all the great input you gave me. I appreciate it!

** GIVEAWAY!! **

You can win this toy organizer and bib.

All you need to do is comment on this blog entry and tell me what you as a mom or dad, grandma, etc. complain about your diaper bag the most or what do you like about it the best?

Does it drive you nuts to always have to look for the paci? Or is it that there are not enough pockets? Do you love to have an adjustable strap or that it fits around the handles of your stroller?
What would be great to add to a diaper bag? (Sorry, things like an automatic diaper changing station doesn't count... ;)
Very curious on what you guys come up with! Be creative!!
I will randomly select a winner on Mon, Aug 9th at 8am South Korea time.

Color combinations! argh!

I always wanted to try out eylets on a bag so here I go... I had this very pretty fabric left I used on a pillow cover for the master bedroom.

I couldn't decide on a fabric for the lining so I picked three. :) 

So now I need to decide what color the handles are going to be! I decided to go with leather or fake leather handles instead of the cotton ones I usually make. First I thought about dark brown or even a beige color but then I found these on Amazon:

Still not 100% sure. Need some opinions please! Also, what colors should I use for the ties on the side and the button? sigh. Having a hard time to make pick the right colors for this bag for some reason...

My next project looks like this....

:) I love using every single little piece of fabric.

Summer table topper

I finally finished my summer table topper. I will definitely keep it for myself :) and use it on our little table on the balcony. I might just have to buy a see through table cloth to go on top of it so my boys won't mess it up. haha.

new fabric!

We went to the Yongsan post this weekend. They had a little safety awarness fest going on at the commissary as well as a big lot sale. Some small vendors sold a bunch of their stuff like sunglasses, nick nacks, and even fabric! He had some great prints but I wasn't really looking for anything since I still have tons at home to work with. Plus he already had them cut in 2 yard pieces and I usually just get 1 yard unless I absolutely love it. Anyway, I ended up choosing 3 fabrics and I think I already have some ideas what to use them for. :))
