Okay, it was suggested that since my project for my niece has green in it, I should enter! Here it is: A diaper bag and 35 clutches, (done as 'favors') for my nieces' sisters baby shower!
Ohhh, I love those colors together! They work so beautiful together!!!!
Well, I wasn't going to enter, but if it's the last one how can I resist?
Here's my entry. The Oregon Duck. The University of Oregon's mascot is a duck, so I had to make an ornament for the ducks. I also made a beaver for the Oregon State Beavers, just so I don't show favoritism. I don't have an in-progress shot, so maybe it won't count, but here it is.

I cannot master those things which I have not tried.
We received some free samples in a little green drawstring bag. I thought it was too neat to throw away, so I gave it a second chance at life. It worked out perfectly for this months challenge, since it was green! I have strawberry stuff in my kitchen, and have had strawberry material for probably years, so finally I put it to use.
I trimmed the material and pressed the edges under. Then I stitched it around both sides of the bag. This hid the stuff that was printed on the other side of the bag. Then I decided to use hot glue to add a burgundy ribbon on the edge and a bow with a button.
I hung it on a shelf with hooks in my kitchen. It turned out pretty cute.
