Target has these new colorful across the body totes that I thought were kinda swell, but they were $17 or $18 and my body is more buxom than the average she.  Across my body, the bag part rode way too high, so I decided to try and make my own, instead.

It’s cute.  Not perfect.  But I like the blue fabrics I found.  And it only cost $5.  For the materials, that is.  Add another plenty for my time.  I probably should have just bought the Target version, after all.  And lost 50 lbs.

The joy is in the journey, though.  I do love a new project.  It’s so refreshing!

I was busy not paying attention, and eventually realized that the silent contented child at my feet was diligently eating the mail.
