little blue box bag

blue box bag

Just a quick post today because I’m spending all of my free time working on the little baby sweater. (It’s about half finished. Completing it for Saturday just might be a realistic goal!)

A few months ago when my friend asked me if I wanted her odds and ends of yarn, I told her I’d make her a box bag in return. Of course, now that I’ve received the very large tote of goodies, I think I need to make something else for her, too. Maybe a matching tote bag? Hmmm…

stash: fabric, denim lining and zipper all from my thrifted stash.

A few weeks ago, my daughter spent the morning painting while I worked. She wanted to practice her letters, so I started calling out T – H – A – N – K… See a pattern starting here? With a little help, she almost wrote all of the letters for a thank you card. After her birthday, I took some pics of the paintings and rearranged them in Photoshop to make this:

And for the inside of the card:

I printed them on our color inkjet and used them for her birthday thank yous. I even made a template for you to use, without the “Love Bella” of course, because I know you think that “K” is super cool! You can download it here.
