Saturday Craft Heart Tote

Saturdays are the normal day for getting out the crafting bucket and sitting with my son.
He loves to paint and glue.
After seeing a cute little hand painted tote on Pinterest, I knew it was our next project.

It is the perfect craft for kids and super easy clean up.
Older kids use a pencil topper but as not to confuse my boy we bought the sponge dot brushes.

He really enjoyed doing this heart and I love the abstractness of it.  I am not a controlling perfect crafty mom, I let him do what he wants and that makes it all that much better. It is his art not mine.

To dress it up a bit more I am crocheting an inside pocket to put my phone and wallet in.

Since I can't sit and sew on a machine right now, I thought a super cute crochet pocket would do.
Simple single stitch crochet and stitch a divider line up the middle for 2 pockets.
A cozy phone pocket and a wallet pocket.
Little loops to hang around the handles and there ya have it.

I need to let the paint dry before I attach the pocket.
I will post a finished shot when all done.

Next on the agenda is making a little groundhog.  That means glue and more fun to come.
Happy Groundhog day...looks like all will be happy with the Spring just around the corner now.
