Too close for comfort

Thanks for all of your nice comments about my Weekender Bag! I really like it, too. I have no idea what I'm going to use it for - maybe Gracie will fit into it. (Seriously, this thing is huge.) I actually won a contest over at U-Handbag just because I submitted a picture of it to a Flickr pool and my prize is another Amy Butler pattern. I decided to make life just a little bit harder and make the accompanying Sophia bag. I seem to enjoy all the punishment Amy Butler has to dole out to me.

My birthday is in approximately six weeks. I know I won't finish the whole list, and that's okay, but there are a few things that I think can still be finished.
