diaper bag

I had almost decided that I wasn't going to get my little diaper bag done before the baby came. Not because I thought I didn't have enough time, but I was just having a hard time motivating myself to work on it.

But I guess a nesting or crafting instinct took over - and so I finished it up this morning. I really love how it came out. It also helped me understand why people who make cute bags and sell them on etsy charge so much - it really took me a while to do, though making up a pattern as I went along definitely made me have to stop and think about how I wanted to do everything.

Anyway....here it is:








I love the zippered pocket on the front.





















Inside front.




Here is the inside - it has two elastic pockets. (It's hard to photograph the inside of a bag.)










The back pocket might be my favorite part - I love how the pleats look.


And...it has a completely adjustable strap.












So now I guess the baby can really come - I think I don't have anything else to make.....

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...
