Cooking and sewing, but not at the same time

This Sunday I was a guest over at Lollychop's blog. She featured my Irish scone recipe. Easter is two weekends away and Mother's Day is right around the corner and these would make a great treat on either occasion. Trust me when I say I have test many, many, many scone recipes before this one was discovered. They are sooooo amazing!

And this weekend I was able to sew up a special little tote for a my church silent auction donation. I am jumping on the doily bandwagon. They look amazing paired with linen.

(MaryAnn- thanks for the button! I used one that you recently sent me.)

Jeff thought it was funny the the first bag I ever labeled was a donation to the church. Eh. Got to start sometime I say. I have been toying with the idea of getting a custom stamp made so I can stamp my own labels using fabric ink or just stamp the bag itself. In the mean time I used the alphabet option on my sewing machine. Once I figured out the programing it was a breeze to get done.

I wanted to make a bag so feminine it would either make your heart melt or burn your eyes. I think I accomplished it. It's all pink and roses and lace. I used a vintage button and loop closure and just did a few slip pockets on the inside. It's completely interfaced so it will hold it's own shape.

And for the record I did not sew and cook at the same time on Saturday, but I did leave the iron on while I was baking. Whoops! The house is still standing.
