Oh the excitment!

 Little Bit lost two teeth today. They have been loose for weeks and finally one fell out, and she pulled the other one.
 The teeth are now safely in the tooth pillow waiting for the tooth fairy to come tonight. It is the same pillow my siblings and I used when we were kids. She was very determined to show off her missing teeth today.

 On the sewing side I wiped up this Moda Bake Shop tote for the Cha Cha Challenge at Stitchin' Heaven. I used an old Chutes and Ladders charm pack I had and some white for the outside, and I lined it with a cream solid.

The handles are long, but that can be good, just hard to take pictures of. I added some inside pockets with the left over charms, and instead of trimming the HST to 3.5" I only trimmed them to 4", so the bag measures 14*17.5". Little Bit has claimed it for hers, which I was thinking would happen.
I also came very close to running out of thread. How close?
This close.

 I hope everyone has had a good weekend!

Congratulations to Little Bit! My DD used to pull hers out too. ;-) And every Halloween we'd carve the pumpkin to match one of the kids toothless smiles! :-o LOL Fun times! Your little bag is adorable! Good luck!

Oh she's so cute with her toothless grin!! You made a lovely little bag. It does a mama proud when our little ones claim things we've made. For A it's pillows.
