books and bags

Posted on November 20, 2010 by thirdstoryies
Attention local readers!  Stop by Left Bank Books this weekend to support E’s school.  We have a great book fair going on this weekend – 20% of all purchases go towards the general library fund, or you can pick out a book or two to purchase and donate directly to the school.  Come get some of your Christmas shopping done, support a great library and a great local bookstore, and eat some yummy baked goods – scones are in the oven right now.  E and I will be there from 10-12 today, and 1-3 tomorrow, so stop by if you have a chance.
…..
This was one of E’s homework projects – create an “artifact” to wear to the Feast of Thanks yesterday.  She chose to make a bag, closed with a button, and filled it with little paper trinkets that she made.  We used a sewing machine, unlike the First Settlers, but it was lots of fun.  Bend the Rules Sewing is a great book for getting your feet wet on simple sewing projects.  More on our sewing adventures later – I’ve a got a bookstore to hang out in…
Have a great weekend.
