The Fruits of My Labor

I recently finished a custom diaper bag for my dear friend. She intends to give it as a gift to her college friend and his wife who just welcomed their baby girl into the world. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such things... even if it is just to provide the bag to hold the diapers for the little one's teeny little bottom. It is such fun to create something with a special person in mind, let alone the whole chain of people (new baby, baby's parents, baby's parents' and my friend...) I love the interconnectedness of life and how another person's joy and happiness can manifest itself as a smile on my face hundreds of miles away. Perhaps I smile because I'm not the one who has to change the diapers......

Here's a view of the "fruitful" lining.....




And the matching burp cloths!
