Working on my "Big Project"

What a crazy past 2 weeks this has been!  Husband was out of town for a week, K and I drove to my parents' house (4 hours away) for 3 of those days.  Then, K's birthday and low-key party.  Then I kicked into high gear and burned up my sewing machine cranking out bags for my first event as a vendor.

But, wait.  What were we doing around that time? We had just moved into another house in a different town.  I was planning her big 1st Birthday Party.
