Small Zipped Bag

I needed a small bag to hold my mirror and lip balm because I'm always rooting around in my purse trying to find it. This will make transferring things between bags easier also.

Triangle Bag

I had a pair of Stewie boxers in my scrap cloth collection. I was going to make a coin purse, but the first one came out a big too large so I'll find some other use for it.

Paint By Numbers

This was done by Katie and I. Yes, I know there is not much skill involved with paint by numbers.. but I love the final product! It provides such opportunity. I could never paint something like this.

Elephant Bum Pad

I just made the cutest bum pad for when I paddle!






















I bought a knee cushion for gardening from the dollar store. I printed out a silhouette of an elephant and cut out the shape from a small piece of grip fabric. I arranged all the pieces, then glued it on with cement. The pieces fell off after my first practice. I tried it again with crazy glue and nothing else has fallen off! =)

Traveler's Notepad

I put card stock in a postmarked envelope for the cover and back.
