A crazy quilt for Maddy; a collaboration by O and I.

 

My version of an eco, enviro, reusable, whatever you want to call it, snack storage bag. Unfinished, as I have yet to go to the fabric store to purchase velcro to sew along the top. Lined with a polka dotted oilcloth (come to think of it, I'm not sure if this fabric is food safe) and a fun flower cotton print on the outside... picked by O. I will be testing out how the lining holds up in the wash before I make more.

 

Beanbag trio, fun for tossing, squishing and dropping from your head; inspired by the ones I received as a gift from my friend Paula. 

 

Super easy to make: I found dried mung beans to work particularly well and easily inserted into the bag by using a rolled up piece of paper acting as a funnel.

I've started a pile of triangles for a bunting flag for O's room. She's picked fabrics with pink, red and green. The edges are cut with pinking shears and then sewn together leaving about a 1/4" all around; then placed about an inch apart and sewn into a string of binding tape.
