Fabulous Fabric Storage Buckets-adjustable, soft, reversible, customizable


I have been wanting to make some of these fabric buckets for a long time, and I finally did! These are so useful, and appealing, I know you will want to try some too. I find uses for them in every room in the house. They are soft, lightweight, sturdy, which makes them ideal for children to use. They are adjustable, just fold up or down the top to make them fit any shelf, or the item you want to store in it. They are fully reversible so you can have the print side out, or the solid side, or any combination of the two. You can customize them to any decor, season, holiday, event, etc. I like looking at them from across the room, rather than the toys that had randomly found their way to the shelf, or ugly plastic boxes. Please visit my shop at: http://www.4girlsdesigns.etsy.com/ and send me a message about what you would like your buckets to look like. I am happy to make them custom sizes, or fabrics. Thanks for visiting.

NO H1N1 Tote Bags-perfect for carrying tissues, masks, and hand sanitizer!







Tell H1N1 to Go Away!


Are you aware that 1/2 of the people contracting the 2009 H1N1 are under the age of 13? That got me thinking that I want my children to be vigilant in doing what they can to avoid getting the flu, and also spreading it if they do get it. I knew they would need a somewhat constant reminder to wash their hands, and use tissues when possible if they needed to cough/sneeze. I designed this "NO H1N1" slogan, complete with a fun looking pig, to gently remind them, without scaring them, to be careful, use the tissues and hand sanitizer in their tote bags. The bag is also large enough to carry face masks that fold flat. The can fit easily in little hands as they are only 6" by 6", not including the handles. Hang them from their back packs, or keep them at their desks when they need them. They are also handy for hanging from a waist belt. I also have full size tote/book bags for adults. Please visit my shop at: http://www.4girlsdesigns.etsy.com/ to see them. Thank you for visiting my blog today.
