Made with love

I may never make another note tote after this Christmas.
I am seeing them in my dreams!
LOL
These three guys I made for two of my sons and a nephew...
they are for taking notes in church, so I didn't want to make them too bright (I nixed the idea of using my camo material on them, but they sure would have looked cute!)
 I used black corduroy, and kept them simple.
I couldn't resist adding a pop of colour with the elastic, and ironed on a camo printed intial with the iron on patches you can buy for super cheap.
 I traced a chipboard letter on the back of the material and cut them out.
So easy for appliques!!!

 I only added one pocket on the left side, because really, extra pockets would be wasted on the boys.
Or ripped off.
lol

I have more of these babies to make, and I have a super cute on in mind for Aiden, so stay tuned for those!

This adorable owl was gifted to me today by a dear sweet friend!
I love it, Tania, and it will be sure to put a smile in my face every time I see her.
Owls are so cute!!!
