Here we go again.

My sister, Noelle, pointed out that I sew/craft when I am nervous or anxious as a way to destress.  I had never thought of that before, but I think she was right.  Before I left to help her photograph a wedding, I had to sew a quick bag.  Last year before we went out of town, I turned a t-shirt into a jumper for Collin.  Last night I was so excited about Davis’ first day of school, I decided to make something for his lunch box.

I grabbed a scrap of fabric and sewed up a little treat bag.  I sewed a hair elastic to the top to keep it closed.  On the way to school this morning, I told Davis there was a special stripped bag in his lunch box.  After he ate his lunch he was supposed to open the stripped bag.

As I was setting things out last night before bed, I had a last minute craft I couldn’t get out of my head.  I used a plastic craft organizer to hold all of D’s food.  The plastic is white and boring.  It needed a little something extra.  I searched for a mustache graphic online, but ended up printing one from picnik.  I carefully cut it out and mod podged it on.  I know it won’t last, but maybe I will change the design up every week.  It would have been cool if I had a  Silhouette machine to cut one out of vinyl.  Oh well!!

One year older and a little wiser too.

I can’t believe my big boy is a 1st grader.  He had a rough time waking up, but jumped out of the car like an old pro.  Davis came home very excited about his new teacher and class.  I think this is a great start for a new year.
