Allergy Pack (for school)

I think I have mentioned my daughters friend with the peanut allergies before. Her mom (my friend) thinks she is old enough to carry her own medications. She still needs an adult to give them to her should she need them but if she has them with her then they are immediately available.

My friend and I tossed ideas back and fore and while out shopping together a few weeks ago she found this fanny pack on clearance at Jo-Ann's. I set about livening up the front with some denim and an iron on applique. I also added some fabric that my friend picked out (the rest I am going to use for a gift for Christmas).

Once the outside was finished I set about the inside. I know I probably should have done this the other way around but I guess I got carried away. Anyways I put a number of strips of elastic inside for holding her epi-pens, inhaler and anti histamine in place so they would not bounce around.

Both she and her mom loved it. Thumbs up on that one, yay!

It's In The Bag! (Carrier Bag Holder)

Oh boy have I been busy. Having the kids home 24/7 is driving me slowly cuckoo. Seem like my craft room is just something I pass by each day on my way out the door. However I have been grabbing snippets of time here and there. I have been working on this project for a while. The initial plan was to make 4/5 of them but after the first one I have decided I might need to use a few less pieces for the others.

I made this carrier bag holder for a friend of mine as part of a pay it forward post on Facebook. She is possibly my biggest fan of all things I do craft wise and therefore was the first to receive my PIF project. The cool thing is that all the fabric matches her kitchen perfectly. I found the tutorial for this project on this wonderful blog........ http://saidosdaconcha.blogspot.com/2009/10/scrap-buster-tutorial-scrappy-carrier.html ........ It is a wonderful read, I think this may well have to go into my favorites.
