First Aid Bag

 The first aid kit I had in the shop, looked like this:
It served it's purpose to keep my first aid supplies at hand and hooked onto my stroller.  But sometimes the contents would spill when I tossed it in the diaper bag or into the trunk when the stroller was folded up and put in there.

SO......I redesigned it this winter and I am much happier with how it is working.
First of all, I put a zipper on the top!  It is very similar to my zippered bags.   The zipper ensures that the contents stay put if I toss it in my purse or diaper bag or under the stroller. I liked having the "clutch" handle on the side too.  If I have the umbrella stroller, it slips nicely over the handle.  If i have the double stroller, I can still simply hook it on with a linky still.
The back is still clear plastic.  In an emergency, I like to have clear view, so I can grab that band aid quickly!  A small gusset on the bottom ensures that everything has plenty of space inside the bag!
Perfect addition to your life now for the runny noses (Kleenex) and chapped lips (chap stick).  And with summer just around the corner, you can keep up with the clean hands (sanitizer), bug bites (itch stick) and scraped knees (band aids)!  Get it HERE.

More new products....

I am in LOVE with this new product!!!!  (the fabric as well as it's use:)  Can you guess what it is?
Here's a peek....
Yup....it's an ipad case!
I love the grey with white flowers on the outside and the soft cushion of Minky on the inside!
Know what this smaller version is for?
iphones!
 I have a small hard case over my phone, and then I just slip it inside!
Same soft Minky on the inside.
The perfect pair for your new Christmas gifts!
***If you have a kindle/nook or other device, I will be able to customize the case for your particular device.  Same thing for any of the smart phones out there.  I will have a specific tutorial on how to measure your item so that I can make the case fit your items!***

FACEBOOK!!!

I finally did it and joined facebook...or rather my hubby signed me up and said to jump on board!  So here I am in the new year trying to do better for my business with the blog and facebook.

While the shop is closed (I'm still traveling a bit:), I"m sharing some of my new designs that will appear in the shop at the end of the month.  Follow along here and on facebook.

A recap from the past couple days.....
Spider Man will now be a choice for my reversible capes.
Meet the Zippered Summer Bag!
Terry cloth on the outside, with colored ruffle, and color and plastic lined interior.  Makes the perfect bag for carrying around your sunscreen, bug spray and many other summer lotions and needs.  I actually use it for travel as well.  Makes a great toilettry bag.  And if my stuff spills?  I just toss it in with the regular wash and then hang to dry!
