Library Bag and Crayon Roll

Wow original title huh? Oh well I think I used up all my creativity yesterday. Hubby spent the weekend helping his sister move which meant my neice was around to play with the girls and I got to do a TON of crafting. It was a blast. I managed to finally make the library bag I've been promising Kinsley for weeks. I've never met a little girl that likes books as much as she does (well except maybe me when I was little) so naturally the library is a favorite hot spot for us. The problem was that the library books kept getting mixed up with the mountains of our own books we have sitting around. I wanted to make her a bag to transport her library books and to keep them in at home so we wouldn't lose them. When I saw this fabric at Walmart one day I knew it would be perfect. Isn't it great?

I put a little pocket on the outside to store the library card in that way its available to the hubby or my mom if they decide to take her to the library sometime when I'm not there. And how cute is the crayon fabric? I used it for the strap and the lining of the bag too.



And since I'm so creative and original I saw the crayon fabric and thought...CRAYON ROLL! ;) Okay so it wasn't creative or original but I thought it was funny anyway and I've been wanting to make one for a while since they are all over the internet these days. Oh and please forgive the used up mismatched crayons, I just grabbed them out of the crayon basket for the photo.

I'm actually really proud of it and not because it was so hard to make or anything but because its cute and when the kiddo got it out to play this afternoon she said "Mama thank you for making me this to play". Awww. Gotta love it.

I'm actually really proud of this and not because it was so hard to make or anything but because when the big girl got it out to play this afternoon she said "Mama thank you for making this for me to play". Aww, gotta love that. I also made some more play food for her kitchen and have more in the works. I love a productive weekend.
