Sewing Adventure

Well this weekend was a friend of mine's daughter's 4th birthday.  I wanted to get her a good book.  To my disappointment I learned there were very few African American children's books.  I finally found the book 'I like Myself" by Karen Beaumont.  It is a great book.  I just wish there were more like them.  I made little bag for the book and the lose roll of quarters I added to make it seem like she had lots of money ( a roll of quarters equals $10).  She loved it. Which was great.  The bag is below.  It has some minor little mistakes.  Overall I think it is pretty good considering I did it without a pattern and it's lined.

Weekend at Callaway Gardens

I spent the weekend at Callaway Gardens for their annual hot air balloon show! It was a nice end of summer getaway. Here are a few pictures!
