Water bottle holder





Since I was working on my Market Bag, I decided to start on another teacher's gift. I did this up in a couple of hours. It's basically like a market bag, but smaller, tailored to the water bottle I bought just for this project. My kids all want one now. I know by now you may be wondering exactly how many teachers have I to give gifts to? Well, one elementary kid had 2 teachers, 2 each had one. So that's 4, done last week before they got out. The small Christian school where my older kids go is a different story. They are friends, not just teachers, so my high-schoolers may not give them gifts, but I wanted to. And two of those went to the secretaries who actually run everything. Now, the water bottle is for the second grade teacher, who has never taught one of my kids. Renee Eckert. She is so wonderful, her sons are friends of my kids. She isn't leaving because she's upset, she just feels God has something else for her. I will miss seeing her around.
She wasn't someone I always talked to, but she has all boys too, so we would give each other knowing looks. Probably a look that kind of said,"Oh my God, what have I done!". I will miss her, and I hope she will use this bottle holder as she's running her kids around.

OOO, this too!!! So awesome, makes me WISH I could crochet and knit! (I can crochet a few rows of very lopsided twisty mess--dysgraphia HATES knitting and it gets along with crochet only slightly less.) This is SO awesome, I want one!

Finished. It has been a long, exhausting day, and my brain is not to be found.
