Lazy weekend

I had a 5 day weekend this week but it was pretty un-eventful. Jer had to work and then the girls got sick. They both caught a bit of a stomach bug and are a bit pukey so we have basically been home bound. So you would think that I cleaned the house and did all the laundry right? Um, sure. Well we did do some laundry but then I decided to take advantage of Abbys sick naps (she naps SO GOOD when she is sick!) and I made a little crafty project! I saw a woman at work the other day with this cute little camera bag and my OCD kicked in and I just had to have one! I didnt want to spend the money though so I figured I would make one. I checked Etsy and found a few things that I liked so this is what I came up with:
















Yes, I am QUITE proud! It has a zipper, I added padding for the camera, it is lined and has a little lined pocket in front and a clasp so I can hook it to my bag for easy access. WOW! I have never made anything this detailed before and I didnt do too bad. The one thing though.... you would think the strap would be last but it should have been FIRST so I had to rip out some stitches and then try my best to squeeze it in. The bag is only 4.5" wide so it was hard to get it in the machine to sew. Oh well... I still love it! I got this fabric to make some pillow and curtains for our basement but I love it so I wanted to use it for this too.

Then I also did some READING. Yes, I actually bought a book AND read some of it. I have been hearing so much about the Twilight series and it sounds like my kind of story so K and I sat outside today and I read for a bit. I made it through Ch 4 and so far its been pretty good!

















My last book took me over a year to finish so we'll see if I can keep this up =)
