Nemo Hooded Towel

Done at last! My friend, Amy, taught me how to make hooded towels a few years ago. I started with a frog, fish and dinosaur and recently I branched out and made a bunny, duck and today I just finished Nemo. It was a ton of work. I'll probably never make it again. But, I know one little boy who is going to absolutely love it when he sees it. Tucker is in Utah with Grandma and Grandpa, otherwise I'd have him model it for me. All it takes is two big orange towels (mine are from Target), and a white towel the same size, a lot of cutting, sewing, ric rac and you end up with a fabulous bath or pool towel.

Messenger Bag

I've made several bags before, but not "messenger" style. I bought a quilting magazine a while ago and decided to tackle this bag. I think it turned out pretty cute, but I will do a bunch of things differently the next time I make one. (Oh, and yes I am moving in a week and a half, but feel like I can't really pack my house up yet - so I'm left with nothing to do except make projects!)
