Holder of symbols and Moon baby




I have added beading to the edge of the  "medicine bag". 
I thought about adding a coconut button for a closure, but decided to add snaps instead.
I call it a medicine bag but it really is a fun "holder of symbols" that reflect
my friend. I made some fun trinkets to put in the bag, but I do not want to show them because my friend might be peeking here! :)
I still need to decide on a strap for the bag ???
Not sure what I want to do...


Moon baby is done. It was a labor of love. 
Did I mention I made him out of a wool sock?
 I just love how soft he is! He fits into the palm of your hand.
 I did touch ups to all the paint,
finished his arm and leg and added the heart and moon. He has been safely put away in a
box which I will take to my son when I go for a visit soon...
I am counting the days!




Tah Dah!

  1. i like your medicine bag. small pouches are one of my favorite things to make. a ribbon with a bead at the top might make a good strap.

  2. Hi Deanna,

    Oh ribbon is a good idea! I love small projects because they are much more do-able for me these days. Thanks! :)

    The pattern on the sock just kind of fit perfectly when I cut it...I like when that happens!
    Thank you! :)

  6. awww...thanks! I am pleased with how it turned out. My son might think it is a little strange (my teenagers do! lol!), but my son is 27 and maybe he will appreciate the effort :)
