Most of my straps are 2 inches wide. I do get some that are black and only 1.5 inches wide. I had previously only used them only for handles and trim. This time I came up with the idea of using them to make stripes with orange. I made four last night, all different sizes.
Kind of a fun little blue bag with yellow tabs.
My daughter volunteers for the International Quiddich Association. * After helping out with their World Cup earlier this year, she ended up with a banner that
she turned into some cool bags. Here are some picture of one of them that I think turned out especially nice. Quiddich fan or not, don’t you wish you had one?

When on vacation in the Florida Keys last week, we were always on the lookout for wildlife. We saw many birds and fish and even got a good close look at some manatees. We had our eyes open for alligators and were amazed that, when we finally found one, it had a Tad Bag in its mouth!
Actually, the story about the trip to the Keys is true but this is another fun picture sent in by Daniel, the guy who helped keep me from going insane when I was learning to use our new computer system.
As I have pointed out before, the trauma straps I use to make my bags have a buckle on one end and a tab on the other were the strap is folded back and sewn to itself. I have enjoyed using those tabs as design elements. Here is the first all yellow bag with multiple tabs.
Diane A. sent me this picture of her bag enjoying the beach.
Our hospital recently installed a new computer system. A young man named Daniel, an employee of the software vendor, spent several nights helping me as I struggled trying to get the hang of a new way of doing business. After he went back to computer land, he was caught on camera using one of my bags to steal a statue. As far as I know, this is the first documentation of one of my bags being used for a nefarious purpose.
Dr. Debbie’s twins enjoying the twin bags I made for them.
I made another one of these shoulder bags for my sister-in-law, Kim. It was a bit hard to take a picture in the mirror of myself wearing it but you get the idea. Maybe she can send me a picture of her wearing it. She is a lot better looking than I am.
Judy was the high bidder for the bag. Any money from such sales will be donated to the Foundation at my hospital. Thanks to all who participated!
