Giving myself a brief reprieve from the list (oh the list!) of things to do in the next two weeks I whipped up this bag this weekend. Meet Sierra, the snail of course.

I needed a messenger type bag for my travels in the crunchy car. The back of the chariot carries the boys backpacks filled with snacks and diapers and occasionally the front wheel depending on where we were headed, leaving little room for the bag full of Mama’s stuff.

This handy dandy bag is roomy enough for the odd grocery we pick up, more diapers, snack and Mama’s wallet (generally empty..sniff). And the Amy Schimler, much sought after (by me) fiesta snail fabric lining keeps everything happy.

Plus it’s cute. I’ve used a ton of this fabulous corduroy that Robin gifted me with this fall, I’ve integrated it into several projects but this was the first full of the delicious precut squares. Do you like the side pants pocket pocket? Me too!

Back to the list now…
