Where did the time go?

Mystic Unicorn Children's Chalkboard Bag

I can't believe it's been so long since my last blog post. Time seemed to slip away during the holiday rush and now it's almost March.

I kept meaning to write a blog about our wonderful Christmas, but I'm thinking it's a little too late for that. I was going to blog about my awesome new camera, but we had to send it back because the pictures turned out to be not what I would expect once I uploaded them. I did get an awesome picture of our Christmas tree, but I'll have to keep it in my files for another time.

So what have I been up to? Well, still finishing orders for which I am so thankful. I've had my best beginning-of-the-year sales yet. I'm hoping this trend will continue.

My white board is almost all white again and I'm planning new ruffle bags and kids' chalkboard bags. For spring, particularly Easter, I'm going put together made-to-order chalkboard bags in solid colors with appliqued names in fun prints. After that I will be making new ruffle bags for summer. I have so many ideas!

Children's Chalkboard Bag in Love to Rock fabric

For the last few weeks I've been working on Children's Chalkboard Activity Bags. It took me a few tries, but I have them just the way I want them.

These bags make awesome gifts. The chalkboard surface is sewn right into the flap with pockets for four pieces of chalk and an eraser on the front. They keep kids busy in the doctor's office and restaurants or anywhere they have to wait. For small spaces like in the car, the flap flips over to the back. They are just the right size to hold coloring books, library books and there is an inside pocket for a box of crayons or other small toys.
