another Tara "invention"

This is something that came out of necessity, really. Gracie, (Alyse's youngest and one of Josh's best buds), just turned 6. She said she wanted a Webkinz carrier for her birthday, so I made one up. Josh picked out all the fabric, and I made up a pattern for this purse that can hold 5 webkinz and a large inside pocket for accessories.

Gracie has been very helpful and lets me know exactly what I need to do to make it better. :) She said it would be good to have little tags under each webkinz pocket for their names and a little snap to hold their collars, also a pocket on the back side to hold more clothes. :)
I am going to try and make some more of these, I'm shooting for one a week, or one every other week, and then sell them in one of the Spring boutiques. Webkinz are SUPER popular around here. If you want to know what they are, go to www.webkinz.com

Thank you all for the positive input and your encouragement!
Once I figure out how to make one of those really "cool-looking" blogs, I will make one just for my items I sell, so all of you will have to help me and put a link on your blog to my funky-crafts blog.
Not sure what to call it yet, I am up for suggestions. ;) Thinking something like "Book Jewelry, and other unique gifts", "Terra-Art", "Gotta Create!", "*Posh-Crafts* but not really", "Artisan Mom". I'm a bit lame with blog names, I know, that's why I need help! :)

Wow, so cool!! We haven't got into webkinz yet....plus, how do you share your computer? that would be hard for me, I'm selfish.

But I want a Tara bag!!! With sippy cup holders instead of Webkinz holders! With brown and pink. Since you're busy busy busy, I'll give you till April 30, 2010. :-)
