Sewing and Travels

Tomorrow we leave for Nebraska for an entire week.  I'm kind of freaking out on how we are going to manage to get all our of stuff + Isaac's stuff in 2 bags.  It wouldn't be so bad if it were summer, but it's 15 degrees in Lincoln today which means lots of heavy, warm sweaters!

I've been trying to keep a running list all week of the items I use with Isaac to make sure I don't forget anything.  It's about a page long on notebook paper.

I haven't packed or done anything yet, but I suppose that will be on the agenda for this afternoon.

A super creative friend of mine always seems to be sewing fun little projects for family.  I swear every time she visits a family member she brings along a little handmade project for that person.  I'm definitely no where as talented or committed to these fun little gifts, but I thought I would put something together in my free time.

I shamelessly stole this cute bag idea from her blog.  It was really simple and only took about 1.5 days of sewing during daytime naps (so maybe 3 hours total).  I'm proud of my little bag and can't wait to give it to Jill.  I hope she likes it!

Since this one was easy and turned out cute, I think I'll make a few more and give them away.  I can already envision the fabric choices for a few people I have in mind.  :)

Here are a few pictures of my recent creation!  Now time to stop procrastinating and go pack!
