Sweet Little Backpack.....and Sweet Little Ornaments ~ It's Crafty Tuesday!


How ♥Sweet♥ is this little backpack??  It's so cute.....and coming soon to my Etsy shop (after I take some better photos....was playing around with a backdrop and I'm not very happy with these....posting anyway for Crafty Tuesday)!  There's room at the top for a name or initials to be mongrammed.  : )

It measures approx. 10"x12"x4"....perfect size for a sweet little preschooler ~ or for a teen/adult for everyday use.  My daughter has already requested one for her in the fabric of her choice and I plan to make one for myself......can't wait to use it on field trips/day trips and have my hands free!!

Features adjustable straps so that whether it's for a young little sweetie or a more mature young lady (like ~ ahem ~ myself), it's sure to fit!!  Also features one outer pocket, one large inner pocket and one small inner side pocket (perfect size for a cell phone)!




I wasn't able to post last week, but had planned to show off these cute little ornaments I made for my group of girls in our Middle School Choir at church.  We had a "Christmas in October" theme night to help us get in the spirit of learning the music this year for our Christmas concert and were asked to bring a small gift for our ♥sweet♥ girls........we also had festive cookies and hot chocolate!!

I needed something cute on a budget, so set out to visit my favorite craft store, Hobby Lobby.  I purchased a box of 12 craft ornaments (at 40% off), some acrylic craft paint and a spool of ribbon with  ♫ ♪ music notes ♪ ♫ on it (at 50% off, so I actually ended up buying 3 because it was so cute....but only used 1 for this project) ~ how perfect!  I think I ended up spending less than $1.00 a piece and they turned out adorable!!



My son had a new Paint-By-Number kit to work on, so we spread out all our paints and brushes and set to work!  In no time at all, I had the 8 gifts I needed......the pics don't do them justice ~ they were super cute!!





My daughter came home later, saw all the mess & was appalled that she missed Crafty Hour!  I guess we'll have to do it again soon.....Christmas is just around the corner and all those teacher appreciation gifts add up! ; )
