The Hunt for the Perfect Diaper Bag: Update #1

Thanks to all of you who weighed in (here, on Facebook, and elsewhere) on my Diaper Bag Choices post.

recycled wool longies

I’m totally into recycled wool crafts lately. I can’t stop thinking of great things to make with old wool sweaters, jackets, and pants.
