When what to my wondering eyes should appear..

Yesterday I came home from swimming lessons to find a much anticipated package on the doorstep from jumpupanddown. Inside was the diaper bag that I had commissioned. Commissioned in the sense that Jessica offered to make another bag in an Amy Butler fabric of my choice. Mostly because she's a good friend like that and realizes that I love to have choices. The bag is perfect and has a darling contrasting fabic inside.
I love the unexpected.
But the icing on the cake was the gift she enclosed for me and the soon to be here babe.
A diaper wallet of her own design.

The outside is rich brown corduroy and the inside is made with the other fabrics from the same Amy Butler collection as my new bag.

And to top it off, it has a changing pad covered in "easy to clean" clear plastic.

I really need to start sewing again, but with friends like this, who has the motivation?

That is the cutest bag!! Maybe someday I'll get one. You do have very crafty friends. I would not feel motivated to sew either, if I were you.

Lucky lucky you! I love it! I need one of those too. My Stork Sak is nice, but it's soooo big. That one looks perfect!

Does the bag seem big enough for a "church bag"? You know, scriptures, lesson manual, etc? I can't quite tell but I really like it and I need a church bag. Is it too small?

Phoebes,

THe bag is awesome and Jessica is awesome. I am totally getting a bag from her soon, and maybe I'll commision one.

You rule Jessica! (you too, Phoebe)

I have been meaning to go on Etsy and get a diaper wallet/changing pad, since currently I'm using a repurposed makeup bag for diapers/wipes and changing T on paper towels or burp cloths or whatever else is handy. I've seen lots of them on Etsy in the past and was just going to go random, but I think perhaps I shall be making a visit to Jump up and down! Gotta love the free advertising that is the blogosphere.

Love the diaper bag too. Amy Butler's stuff is so fun. I never got around to buying a diaper bag because the purse I was using when Theo was born was big enough. It will probably wear out soon though and I will need to be buying one. (That's Forever 21 for ya, fab and cheap and not built to last.)
