Who are the Smurfs Mum?

The other day Miss Diva saw the trailer on the television for The Smurfs. "Mum who are the Smurfs?" Well i almos feel off my chair. i only turned 30 this year but boy did that make me feel old. So for the older two birthdays (They are only two days apart) I took them to 3D Smurfs which was a rip off as only some of the movie was in 3D and it cost more for the privilege of wearing their glasses which they make sure you hand back at the end of the movie with a bucket shoved into your face as you head for the exit. I loved the movie, i even teared up during some of it which i am not that sort of person. So here is a photo of my three trouble makers My little man (12), Princess (3)and Miss Diva (8) standing in front of their promotional sign. I also have a new favourite Smurf Gutsy Smurf (He wears the kilt)

This bag belongs to little Miss Diva, it's a new school bag from the McCalls 6410 pattern range. I followed view A only cause the trend at the moment is this type of bag. It's size is 36cm by 28cm. No Zippers. I used a Pink Butterfly cotton i found in the quilters corner of spotlight, The bag is fully lined with Hot Pink Cotton and has a inside pocket. Is has a meduim weight interfacing and i used sew in fleece cause i couldn't afford the fusible one, but it turned out. There are two pockets on the front held together closed with velcro. The front has four white D rings but i would be interested in using the same sort that are found on bags. The strap is one lenght which is hard cause you can't adjust it to your height, will be looking at ways to work around that, I will be making this bag again she would like a blue one. It's a great size it's fits a couple of A4 books plus her lunch and a hat.
