A New Year Resolution that I plan to keep in 2011 is a photo diary of my year. Since Olivia and Ava are growing up too quickly, I would like to capture as many memories as possible. Hence my project 365. 2011 is going to be another year full of surprises for us with the girls starting daycare and the prospect of me returning to work plus my family moving back home. I am sure there will be plenty more adventures to come this year.

Day 154 - Library Bag
Now the girls are 2 they are able to go down to story time at the local library on a Monday. I thought it would be a great idea to get my sewing machine back out to whip them up a library bag each.
You would have seen the fabrics from yesterday's post. With a child and work free day today I took the opportunity to sew my first one.I am pretty happy with the result other than some very random stitching from my sewing machine. There are a few things I will google before I sew my next one.
My sewing machine punished me today a few times for not getting it out more often. (The needle actually fell out of the machine... I haven't worked out how that happened yet!) and the noises it made today certainly are telling me either that I don't get it out often enough or it is time for a service.
Hopefully I can finish my library bags project before I need to do that.

Day 153 - Fabric
I found these beautiful fabrics while shopping in Spotlight a few weeks ago.
I am going to attempt to make library bags for the girls and Patrick in the next few days. Since we are all 2 (well nearly Patrick!) we can go to Story/Rhyme time at the library on Mondays. So I think it is a good time to introduce a library bag.
I just love the owl fabric.
When completed I will take another photo to show the finished product. I am hoping this blog will force me to do things a little quicker.
