Captiva Love

I rarely make bags for myself. Usually I just wait until a project goes awry and then I decide I can't sell the darn thing and then I make up some excuse as to why it can't possibly be thrown away and then it becomes my new bag. Great advertising for myself as I tootle around town don't you think?

But I made something for myself yesterday. It is completely unpractical. I usually have to carry a huge bag due to the fact that I am constantly toting a kitchen sink around for my toddler and 6 year old.

But we are headed off to Captiva Island in Florida this weekend and I'm determined to go somewhere where I can carry this. I used an old scrap of fluffy trim I couldn't part with and it matches nothing I own and I simply don't care. It is that cute. And very Florida vacationish...don't you agree?
