In the works . . .

Well, I recently made a fabulously seasonal purchase for 'Tis the Season gifts. I found these beauties,

For Simon:

Item #1

Item #2

My little boy with a summer birthday is set for trunks, as his size 6's fall off his waist this year. Will need something like this, in blue or white I am not sure. Need to check colors for matching.

Possible new pair of these.

For Norah:

Item #1

Item #2

Item #3

Item #4, in the pink/green floral

Still looking for something like this, size 5 or 6 (that way it'll last 2 years)

(Simon is now a reader, please do not mind the vagueness of details.)

So then I thought the next best thing is a bag for them to carry all of their belongings to a day of fun in the water. Then my load should be smaller. I doubt it, but one can only hope. I haver searched etsy, asked a few lovely ladies for ideas, searched the internet and now have so many options my head is spinning. Some contenders:

* purchased cinch sacks #1 and need to find #2 (I bought green as pink was n/a) at Target

* realized I could make bags, that always gets me into trouble

* cinch sack, tote bag so many choices

* canvas, patterned cotton, oil-cloth, vinyl-covered cotton, laminated fabric

* may reconsider cinch sacks at Target

The details are always fun to plan. I find that I over-think everything, which is a good thing. Because then, since it is all thought out, the final product is always perfect!
