March Madness

You may think this post will be all about basketball, but you'd be wrong.  When I decided to marry Adam, the choice was made with the knowledge that in the month of March I would have to share much of my husband with the NCAA Basketball Tournament. After a few years of marriage, I have learned there is probably a great reason why March also happens to be National Craft Month. At least we can be in the same room together, right?
This was one of my favorite creations during March. I saw something similar on Pinterest that was pink applique. However, since I have a felt addiction, I just found a few cute colors at JoAnn's and went to work.  I cut out a leaf shape as a pattern, traced and cut out all the leaves, and then sewed them to the bag. I got the bag at Hobby Lobby for a few bucks and I think the total cost was about $3 for the whole project. I love these colors, and it is just in time for summer!!

That is super cute! I have never appliqued before, and I am very hesitant to try. But I am almost tempted by this bag.

Love your bag! the original pink one is by a lady in my ward... but I love your blues! And I have to say I got a good laugh about your "being in the same room" comment...
