Bags & Totes

Here are a couple simple gift ideas. ;-) These were Christmas and birthday gifts and were relatively simple to do.
For the above design, you get some of the cake plate doilies and go over it with a fabric marker or fabric paint. I used a marker and then did the letters. It’s hard to tell in the photos, but the “k” is pink and the “L” is red. Pretty simple. And pretty. People are amazed by it. (Got the idea on pinterest.)

The green bag is a variation of the same design, just with different placement and I added a ribbon and lace bow. The cake doilies are so versatile too. I used them on a t-shirt for my niece and for a another bag that I alternated between the pattern and freehand swirlies (I didn’t get a picture of that one.)

The giraffe bag is a fabric marker and time. ;-) I just drew that while looking at a giraffe pattern. Also simple but perfect for a giraffe-lover.

Arin could totally have a career in modelling (If she worked on her core muscles a bit). ;-) Seriously, I love using Arin for photos.

Arin and Katie came with me on a photo adventure this past weekend and I was able to get some great shots for my class and for a new pet project of mine.

{this was before I made her really uncomfortable in the cemetery.}

{Katie’s new signature heart for her car. it made a great frame.}

There are so many shots I love, it’s hard to choose which ones to post. As always, there will be more on my flickr account. If Katie posts any pictures on her flickr, you can see those here.

We drove down to Elizabeth City again for a whirlwind visit to a little park/dock, the fave cemetery, lunch at 3 Amigos, cupcakes downtown at a little bakery (SO great), and taking Arin into an alley.

Pretty soon I’ll post more pics of my solo visit to Elizabeth City last week, some beach shots, crafts, and some of my final edits for my class project.
