Gifts- What I've Been Up To Lately

Hello Everyone!

Yes, it's been a while.  I promised to show what I've been up to lately about two weeks ago.  Well, better late than never.  Some of what I have been making are gifts and some are for my Etsy shop.  I'll show the gifts first.  The first is some fabric shopping bags for my sister-in-law.  If you are familiar with Aldi, you know that you have to either bring your own bags, use boxes off of the shelf, or buy their bags.  Well, we usually use the boxes but I thought it would be fun to have re-usable shopping bags.  I haven't made mine yet but I made these for my SIL for her birthday.

The inside is lined with a cute coordinating polka dot.

My daughter modeling them so you can get a better idea of the size.

These can also double as travel bags, library bags, park bags, beach bags, etc. You get the idea.  They can be used for just about anything.

Next up are some pillows that I made for a friend's 25th wedding anniversary.  I have purposely blocked out part of one pillow because it shows coordinates to their house.  I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it would be a great gift.  However, I wanted to try to protect their privacy somewhat so thus the blocked info.  I think you can still get a good idea of how cute it is anyway.

The last one I have to show is for a baby gift.  I didn't have it ready for the shower but was able to give it to the parents this last weekend.  Being that it is a personalized gift, it worked out better for me to be late.  (For once being late is a good thing!)

I also added a burp cloth that I made along with a headband and two flowers.

I did make another gift for my sister but she hasn't gotten it yet so I can't show that one.  I'll have to catch you up that later.

Now, my Etsy items.  I have many items to list but haven't gotten around to doing it yet.  I did list a few last week and have already sold one.  Yay!

Like I said, some of these have not yet been listed on Etsy but all are for sale. Even the one that already sold can be made again if anyone is interested.
So between teaching school, traveling, having company, doing laundry, cleaning house, cooking, and making all these things, I have had little time to post.  So now you know what I've been up to lately. I'll try to not take so long next time but I'm not making any promises. ;) So until next time...

Have a blessed day,
