Do you feel guilty???

I have a question.  Do you feel guilty when you make yourself something?  For some reason or other, I do.  I absolutely love to make things for other people, but when it comes time for me to make something for myself I feel guilty that I'm not giving it to someone.

Yes I know I may sound crazy, but that's just me.  Anyways....remember the stroller bag that I have made?  Well my little man and I have outgrown that bag.  I love that bag…..I used it A LOT!!!!  But now that little man is 1 year old, we don’t use the stroller that often. 

So move onto my dilemma.  I needed a bag to carry little man’s necessities plus my own.  It’s hard to wrangle a one year old and hold onto a purse and a diaper bag at the same time.

After a few tweaks I came up with this bag.  Please excuse the photos.

It holds, as you can see……diapers and wipes case in one pocket (with elastic), my wallet and planner, three bottles and formula holder(he was still on formula when I made this) and what you can’t see is his cheerios container with his snacks.  The front of the bag has a pocket to hold my keys and it has a magnetic snap to keep it closed so nothing falls out.  I really like it.  It was really easy to make too. 

I only felt guilty for a few minutes, lol.  Because after all I really needed this bag.

Tell me what you think of it.  As soon as life slows down a little I’m going to try to write a tutorial for this bag and the stroller bag.
