Please allow me to present Audrey's first Valentine's Day Bag (note: her teacher's specifically said she could bring a box or bag for her Valentines).
This creation is 80% Audrey and 20% me, and I'd like to remember just how the 80/20 transpired. I suggested a heart-shaped felt bag. She changed it to a "regular" shaped bag. I suggested ribbon for the handles. She suggested a strip of a different color of felt. I suggested a felt heart or two on the front. She suggested six hearts (and later inserted a seveth one - the black one). I suggested that I could put her name on it later tonight (feeling a little pressed for time). She suggested that she could just write her name on it. And the smiley faces . . . oh, those were all Audrey. She sewed one side of the bag. I finished the sewing. And she, of course, glued all of the hearts on the front. Yea, I'm kind of proud of her.
And now I'm off to finish the Valentines for her friends and teachers. Those were more 20/80 . . . but there's always next year.
