Yesterday I decorated with a little more Christmas bling!
New bows for the staircase garland. . .
A nostalgic bubble night light. . .
More new bows for the mantle. . .I love these battery operated candles I found at Home Depot a few months ago. . .
Because Kari is pregnant I'm being very careful to not burn candles with lead wicks. . .
Purse Project Finished! ! !
Yesterday morning I jumped right in & started making a purse/tote for Little E. . .
The purse is made out of denim, lined with the same pink dotted fabric on the quilt, & monogrammed in pink. . .
I made the straps long so she could use it as a shoulder bag. . .
She likes to try carrying her diaper bag on her shoulder. . .
Her name is on both sides of the purse. . .
I found the sweet pink trim at JoAnn Fabric. . .
I sewed another 'specially made' tag on the inside. . .
I had so much fun on this project! ! !
Now on to monogramming the stocking for Ethan. . .
I'll show more bling tomorrow! ! !
Your beautiful garland on your staircase puts mine to shame! I think I need something bigger now - LOL! That purse is adorable!
