Thursday is my great niece Kimberly's birthday. She is the daughter of my godson & nephew, Ryan. Ryan is two years older than my oldest son. When they were all in high school, they spent much time here at my house. Let's just say I used to feed him. LOL!
Anyway, his daughter is turning 6 years old!! He's having a party for her. :) :) This past week-end, I bought Kimberly a wooden bead set. She loves beads!! She really is a crafty little thing already. :) I also picked her up some pretty head bands, lip smackers, skittles & orange tic tacs. Instead of putting the little things into a gift bag, I thought...why not make her a little purse? So, this morning, I got out my fabric scraps and whipped up a little bag for Kimberly.
I've had these junkitz felt flowers in my stash...for what is it...maybe 5 years now? I couldn't ever part with them, and now I'm glad I didn't! I had a piece of orange corduroy that I just folded in half. Before stitching the sides together, I machine stitched the flowers on top. I cut a couple in half and stitched them along the sides of the bag. Then I added a yo-yo flower to the top of the one big flower on the front of the bag. Handstitched (and used Helmar glue) on the yo-yo flower and button. It's not going anywhere. ;) ;)

Then I had to go to work. Then I had to walk the dog. Then I had to make supper. Now I get to make the card to go with the gift! :) I used card patterns sketch #108. 
I love this sweet jillibean blossoms pp. Core-dinations & kraft cs, a FP felt flower & handmade yo-yo fabric flower, pink sorbet twine from the Twinery, buttons from stash - all tied with orange DMC, make up this card for Kimberly. 
Thanks to the card patterns DT girls for their beautiful inspiration!!Thanks, also for coming by my blog.
Hope you're having a good day!! :)
hugs, patti
