More Sparky

"Special Order" - well not really.  I've had a few people ask if I would sell my bags and/or make a special order, but that's just too much pressure.   I get these done on my own time line and since I give them away, I don't worry as much about whether they hold up or not.  I want them to - I sure want my loved ones who get these to enjoy them for some time - but at least if something happens, I don't have to feel bad about their investment in them.  But I'm totally off the subject.  Just a little note about this one.  If you have read my other posts, you know I did (as a service project) take on a special order to digitize Good Ole Sparky - an old time class mascot for the local high school - for the class of 1960's 50 year reunion.  After finishing off the 60 hand towels they gave out as favors, I made this bag and delivered the last shipment of towels to the reunion committee in this bag.  I hear they had a drawing to give away the bag to one of the female members of the class that was in attendance.

Baby Shower Today

My nephew and his wife are having a baby and today is the baby shower.  Last night, I made this burp cloth from a cloth diaper (NEW) to add to my gift bag for them.

Retired Teacher's Luncheon "Door Prize."

This bag became a door prize at a retired teacher's luncheon.  Those in attendance are retired teachers from our local school corporation.  My husband being an administrator at this corporation was attending the luncheon and doing one of his favorite things - having the opportunity to thank those who have made a difference in the lives of students.   I had just finished this bag - and the predominant colors being the colors of our high school - yellow and brown - it just seemed natural for use in this manner.  I hear it was received well and I hope the "winning" teacher enjoys using it.
