Happy Earth Day...and finally, some follow through...

I am the Queen of starting projects for my kids and not finishing them. I hate that. So last night....Trev was out playing football with the boys and Mica & I were looking for something to do together and I remembered that she had this pair of jeans she'd outgrown that she wanted to keep for some project....and we ended up making this bag for her. It's open at the top so I'm not sure it'll make a great schoolbag, but today it's going to be her school bag. The front and back are the tops of her pants, with the legs sown shut. The bottom of the bag is a double layer from one leg, and the strap is a double layer too - the entire other leg of the pants. Nothing wasted. How's that for recycling on Earth Day :)

Love it, Cathy, and so proud that you did that together with Mica. Wish I could have done more projects like that with you at that age. Your loving Mom
