even though it hasn’t really snowed much.  I remember when I was a kid we would pray for snow days and rarely got them.  Now it seems like they cancel school anytime it snows at all.  We have maybe 2 inches, granted there was a little sleet under it, but still.  I have a lot of work to do today so I hope that the kids are good all day…HA!  That will never happen.  Jake is home for the rest of the weekend so that will help a little though.

Here is what I whipped out yesterday. This is a Messenger/Laptop bag.  I modified the original Messenger bag for the customers needs and I think it turned out really nice.  It’s all pink inside just like my camera bag.  Here is one of the changes and the most significant since this bag is lugging and 8 pound laptop and a heavy charger brick. 

I usually just sew the strap into the top of the bag, but this one needed to be more reinforced so I took the strap all the way from the bottom.  Just above the “X” is a metal ring that makes the strap adjustable.  Here is the other change…  

We kept the big zipper/slip in pocket along the back, but added a divided elastic top pocket to the front for her to carry her Wacom and Charger Brick.  In the middle is the laptop sleeve.  I hope she likes it and I hope it meets all her needs!  It’s definitely very hip!  I wish I still had a laptop and I would make one for myself!

So today on the agenda is a new style DSLR bag.  I am actually revamping a diaper bag pattern and turning it into a DSLR bag so hopefully that will work out well and be a good seller.  I think I am going to make one for myself if I ever have the time.  Right now I still have 12 orders to fill which is going to make for a very busy next few weeks!  I am almost our of fleece interfacing and my Joann’s doesn’t have it and my Mother in Law checked the one in Springfield and they didn’t have it either so I ordered a whole 15 yard bolt online, but it’s going to take a week to get here so when I run out I am stuck for a few days unless I can get my hands on some locally.  In the meantime I will probably cut out all the bags I have fabric for and go ahead and make all the accessories that go with all of them because I have way more than enough fleece scraps to do all of that.  Then hopefully when I do get the fleece I can just whip them all out really fast!

Here is a catch up of my daily photos…

Well I better get to work.  I put a roast on for French Dip Sandwiches for dinner.  This is an EXCELLENT recipe and couldn’t be easier to make!

Have a Wonderful {Snow} Day!!
