I told him I could make him one real quick...he said in two hours....I said twenty minutes....
What????....
he said yes....(mom is in cloud nine)....
he wants me to make him something...he actually liked his Christmas present.... and my husband thought they wouldn't
So me being the mom I am, I jumped on that like a fly on a hot cow patty.....oh yesss... you heard me!
And so here it is.......He likes green. Couldn't find the pattern so my webbing is too long...but I ain't taking it out. (Ain't is a word, look it up)
Had some left over, made this little bag.... my swirls are not the best but I said twenty minutes so I had to hurry....HA!!! I could not have planned those geckos better if I tried.
Then I had so much fun meandering and doing swirls that I did this bag....nothing serious, just goofing..

You're such a good mama :-)
Isn't it great when you find out how much someone loved a gift you gave them?
Did you do a tutorial on that bag? Or is it a pattern? I would like to try making one like that.
I hear you...there's no better feeling than when one of your BOYS asks you to make something for them! Nice job!
(Have you heard from your other son since he arrived in Iraq?)
How cute I mean masculine is James's bag! Love the other bags also.
Love it when the boys want something made. All your bags look great! I enjoy making little ditty bags. They are fun, quick, use up scraps, and let practice some new quilt designs. Plus, they are almost instant gratification.
I can't believe you made those awesome bags in such a short time. Wow!!
God Bless your son for protecting us.
I love your bags and what a great way to practice your quilting.
You are an incredible Mom.... they are lovely!
As always, you do such cute things. I knew I needed to try that pattern. OH!!! A birthday is coming up for son and girlfriend!! Thank you for the inspiration.
Hi Barb, wow what a great bag you just 'whipped up' lol. I don't think I will ever be able to sew quite that well..
thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments..Did you enter my giveaway from last Saturday..just want to make sure you are in there!

Those are all great 'man bags'...for sure! You sweet Mama you!!
Isn't it fun when they actually ASK you to make something for them???
They look great, Barb.
I'm sure your son will treasure it. You're such a great mom!
Cool! He actually asked for it so that makes it even cooler! I can't believe you did it in 20 minutes though!
What a great cosmectic, uh I mean, travel toiletry bag!
Awww....see, even though boys don't always like to admit it, they do love to have things that their momma makes for them. Great job on the bags...I'm sure James was pleased as punch to get a few more to store his stuff in!
XOXO,

Love that bag, did you tell us how to do it and I missed it?
My heart is smiling bigtime. How sweet of James to ask you for a toiletry bag to take with him to college. And I love the green one you created for him too. Perfect. Did you know green is the school colors for UofH?

What a great Mom you are! And what a wonderful son for liking his toiletry bag. Can't believe you made those in just minutes!
Isn't it a nice feeling when they actually ask for something you do? Lovely cosmetic bag Barb.
I love it when my family ask me to make them something. I'm so glad he liked them enough to ask for more...Your bags are great and the fabric was great. I love the geckos! Great job.
What a wonderful mum you are to make something like that immediately. Those bags are great, whatever you call them.
Oh how exciting!!! A son who appreciates a home made object AND asks for more!! You raised a good son Barb LOL. The "Man Container With A Zipper" is perfect :0)
