Birthday Bag

Here is the birthday bag I made for my best friend's daughter!  She turned 8 today! 


The pattern is by Sweetwater and it's so cute!  Perfect for a card and some goodies.
 
 I love their fabric, Sunkissed.  Just what is needed to bring Spring on.  
(Oh, and that's my really messy sewing table.  I need a new cutting board soon!)

My running efforts are continuing.  I need to find out how I can cut & paste my Nike Running log onto this.  I wasn't feeing too well this week, but I still was able to log 22+ miles.  Rain is in the forecast for most of next week - looks like I'll be using the treadmill a lot next week.
