This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef ,
This little piggy had none
... and this little piggy cried ~ wee wee wee
.... all the way home.

Sunday Bag



I started with two  $1.49 bag from Creative Bag.  The lettering is from Lettering Delights and the family is customized from Lettering Delights.

Choose lettering and design.  Use iron on pencil to trace pattern or use iron on transfer printer paper.  Remember to trace on the reverse side of your design so when it is ironed on your lettering will be the right direction


Fabric paints or acrylic craft paints
Textile extender - for thinning paint and making paint glide smoothly across the fabric
Permanent fabric marker

Once you have painted your design you will need to iron the reverse side for two minutes to heat set the acrylic paint.

After the bag was painted, I nested a reversed bag inside and stitched around the top edge the two muslin bags provided extra strength for heavy books and fun things to be packed around in this Sunday tote.

Niagara-on-the-Lake

For the May long weekend we went to Niagara-on-the-Lake and visited the little shops and drove around.  Such a beautiful area and with spectacular homes and vineyards.




We stopped to take a picture at the floral clock closer to Niagara Falls.  It is a spot that has fond memories for my husbands childhood.
