Stella's Diaper Bag...


This pink and green polka-dotted creation is my second attempt at a diaper bag. This one was made for Stella who will be making her grand entrance into this world in just four short weeks. (If you were to ask her Mama, those weeks are anything but short!)


I filled it with all the diaper bag neccesities that came to mind - (it has been a few years since I had to fill my own diaper bag!)- newborn-size diapers, baby wipes, powder, diaper rash cream, a bottle, baby magic lotion, a binkie, a bib and burb cloth, a book and a little stuffed bunny. Stella's all set for her first trip to town...


Along with my diaper bag making, I seem to have a cupcake fetish right now. My kitchen has turned out strawberry cupcakes, chocolate chip cupcakes and these mocha treats all in a weeks time. Somebody, PLEASE, eat these so that I can move on to the next recipe...

Ummm okay if you insist, I'll have just one..okay two cupcakes...oh hey wait, I'm on a diet, I'll just take a couple and smell them..LOL

The diaper bag makes me want to have one, (diaper bag that is)...lol..I'm sure I could find something othe than baby powder and diapers to stash in there! Seriously, it is just too precious. I'm sure baby Stella will goo and gaa over the colors!

The diaper bag looks really cute and the items you've put in it - everything little Stella should need, for sure.
You can always ship some cupcakes east to our house. I can't seem to get my mind or energy level up to doing any baking! Gonna have to come up with some kind of cake this week though for the older daughter's birthday when she crosses over into the big 40! EGAD! I am getting VERY OLD!

I came by from Wende's just to look at more cupcakes. But now I want to know about the pattern for the diaper bag- it's great and looks like it could be adapted for other bag needs. On close-up, it looks as though it is semi-felted- or just washed?

Hi Everybody! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your nice comments on my little creation. It was really fun to make and turn out almost like the picture that I had in my head!
Vicki,
It is felted. I'll type out the pattern and get it to you if you would like. I've used the same basic pattern to make a purse, also.

GORGEOUS! I love the bag. I started knitting a bag to felt myself. Was I inspired? I think so.

And yum, thanks for the cupcake!
