Sew-a-thon '09

Its been almost two weeks since I posted anything here, and a busy two weeks it has been! I am studying frantically for my big exam coming up in May (also known as hoop #2 I must jump through to get my PhD), so between studying, sewing, and the family, there hasn't been much time for blogging. I have created some fun stuff though!

The sock monkey stuff is pretty popular in my etsy shop these days. I'm having fun with them! I am also working on a sock monkey bib in an awesome laminated fabric, as well as a raggy sock monkey blanket/play mat thingie. Isn't that descriptive? :)

I also made a fab sling yesterday. Anyone who knows me knows I am HUGE proponent of baby wearing. I was a baby wearer with my older son, and now the little one wants to be in the sling all the time too. It is his favorite place! So I made this awesome sling with a bright pink Amy Butler print, black accents, rings, and pockets. I love it! As soon as I get a minute to focus on taking good pictures, I will post some photos. 

Today I threw together a messenger bag with some adorable Heather Bailey prints I had hanging around. I needed a bag that could hold a stack of my student's papers without being giant. The nappy bag I made for my laptop is nice, but it is HUGE if my laptop isn't in it - way bigger than I would like. Again, I'll post some pictures soon. 

Alright, it's off to bed for me. Tomorrow holds lots of teaching, reading, and wishing my brain could retain more information as I study for my test. I need some rest!
