That time of year is coming...

What time of year is that, my Birthday Day of course. You know how several store, you frequent have Birthday clubs you can join and they send you something for your birthday? Well, my most favorite store of all time, Anthropologie sent me a birthday card good for 15% off my next purchase. Now this might not seem like a lot for most stores but for Anthro, you take whatever savings you can get. At any rate, they really make the cutest birthday cards. Last year they sent one out that had a birthday candle necklace attached to the card and look how clever this years is.... they just continue to top themselves.



Thanks for thinking of me....

Mickey Mouse Bag

I decided I wanted to make a Mickey bag, and I found a template for Mickey's head online. Here is my test run bag to make sure everything was going to stick properly. So here it is!

I hand stitched a boarder around each Mickey head, and sewed a button on each and then tied fabric around the handles. Now on to make the real bag.
