Friday Felicities





Hooray for Friday! I'm happy enough to see the weekend that I could stop right there and declare that my Felicity for this Friday! Not. Even. Joking.

But there are other things for me to be happy about.

My beautiful little girl is absolutely over the moon about dancing, and she is dancing constantly. When we walk into a store that's playing loud dance music, she pretty much drops whatever is in her hands and busts a move. It's hilarious and sweet and inspiring and fantastic. G started new dance lessons this past weekend: Ballet and Creative Dance back to back. She brings a change of clothes because you simply can't wear the ballet costume your Mom bought you at Value Village for Creative Dance. You must wear your "flowy dress." Luckily the only dress code for the lessons is clothing that allows the instructor to see the children's bodies, and either bare feet or ballet slippers so their feet don't slip, so wardobe changes are A-ok.

But that meant my dancer needed a bag to carry her dance wardrobe!

I got good practice with FMQ, and the zipper closure was designed to make the bag kind of boxy on top and thus easier to zip open.

Lining is a Michael Miller Flower Fairies fabric. WITH SPARKLES ON IT (aka 5-year-old girl's catnip).

One more photo? Okay!

  2. love the fabric you used for the bag! Even tho it was many many years ago, I still remember the feeling of going to dance class -- few things in life equal the joy of dance!
