Thank you everyone, I'll never forget when she looked at the teal one, the first one we made her. Her expression of amazement was something to behold. I felt such pride, that I had been able to have my son help me create something that would comfort her. Thank you all for caring. I know I've been away for some time. But I never forget my friends here. Thank you for not forgetting me.

The bags are a little bit of work, but they are fun to make. I am making a quilt right now and hope to get one more bag made soon, a new pattern, a hobo style one. It's like I am trying to find the perfect sized bag, and the first one, the navy and cherries one, that was too big, the others are just a bit too small, but they have zipper closures. So I like that. I can't wait to make the hobo, other than I have to wait because I am having the left carpal tunnel released soon. <3

First one with matching organizer:



Here it is next to the one of the ones I made for myself out of animals fabric:



Made a matching one for a dear friend:



I haven't been up to sewing, probably more from emotional anguish than pain honestly. I need to work through it somehow. I have a new tdoc and pdoc and they are great, but it's hard. Very hard trying to learn new coping tools. Been working with Core Mindfulness, it's helping, but only when I remember to use the new skills I'm learning.
