My children go to a "year round" school. As a result, spring break is a little more than 2 week vacation for them. My daughter, Katie, got a little crafting itch of her own. She wanted to sew a small tote bag. Off to the store we went to pick out some fabric.
Our project is not without mistakes. I'll keep them between Katie and I! It ultimately took us the better part of a Sunday and then two weeknights to finish. This is largely because my tolerance after working all day is about 32 minutes long. That barely lasts longer than it takes to set everything up!

Still, I think it might be the stuff that memories are made of. Now, she has plans to make a second bag a bit bigger. This will require her to figure out the pattern, etc. herself. I'm going to do my best to encourage her and stay out of it. She needs to figure it out! They grow up so very fast...
