My oldest daughter just celebrated her 9th birthday (cannot believe how fast it goes by!). For some reason, her birthday tends to bring out the sewist in me. Last year, I went all out. This year I managed a little more moderation. Instead of a quilt, I made a festive little bunting out of my growing pile of vintage sheet scraps.
The girl loves to read. I like to think it is a trait she inherited from me. :) She also adores all things pertaining to owls, wolves, dragons, Harry Potter...I could go on. Just depends on what she's reading. I was inspired by this beach tote, and decided to make her a personalized book bag for road trips.

On her birthday, I checked her out of school and we went out to lunch and to Barnes and Noble to pick out a few new literary treasures. Is there anything better than a book store?!
Here's the back:
I also found the cutest art print on Etsy. Too perfect to pass up.
As for bigger projects, I haven't forgotten about the Bliss quilt. I want to throw a bit of hand quilting into the mix, and just haven't had the time to hunker down with it.
Plus, I've been a little distracted by something new. Maybe someday I'll learn to finish one project before starting another.
But, probably not.
