I am on the search for the perfect diaper bag.  One not so big that it's ridiculous (yes, I made a two foot long bag - don't ask), and one that is not "cute".  I'm really not a "cute" person.  I'm more a practical person. 

Being a practical person, my most important requirement is that it doesn't get in my way and can hold all my stuff as well as the baby's.  I started with this messenger bag:



This bag has a ton of pockets, including a removable "diaper" pocket that can be snapped to a stroller.  I would love this bag, except that the fabric is a black and pink plaid.  Remember my thing about "cute"?  Nothing pink, even this cool plaid, will ever be a part of my wardrobe.  I have a phobia.  It's documented.  I wish I could be one of those people who can rock pink, but I'm more the black and white type.

Well, since I didn't have enough fabric in a color and weight that I would like, I started making more "slouchy" bags. 



This is my current diaper bag.  No, it's not black and white, but it's a nice plain khaki.  It's almost perfect.  It has two interior pockets, and is big enough for most stuff.  I can shove two diapers and a plastic bag of wipes.  (I'm not cool enough to have one of those plastic cases, and I plan on making a permanent case out of fused plastic bags, but for now I use a ziploc.) I can also put my wallet and one knitting project in it.  I can even put a small grocery order in it (if I take out the knitting).  The only problem comes when I feel like I have to pack the entire house in it.  Then it's too small, but the only thing big enough is my two foot long bag :).

Anyway, since I love it so much I made some more and put them in my store.

Have a look:



I love the next one, but I had already made the one I use, so it's up for sale:






Hope you like them.

Aprons are all the rage here at the Geek household.  Being the geeky, dorky mom that I am, I had to make one for my son, the 15 month old "cook".  I found out that they make incredibly perfect "bibs" for self feeding toddlers.  So easy to make and to wash.  As an added bonus, he loves them.

Here's a bunch I made for my shop.




Now I'm off to make oven mitts and more adorable chef hats...
