In the next few minutes Sam will be saying goodbye to his Daddy and entering the new world of Montessori school. We have been preparing him for weeks for this day.
I decided at 4 pm yesterday that I needed to make him a new schoolbag...
...to hold the ceramic mug which will be his water cup at school. Denis gave me this bee mug for our first Christmas/Hanukkah together, after I had admired it at a craft fair. Now it will be Sam's "little piece of home" at school. Comfort, style, and utility, all in one self-chosen object; I love this practice at his school.
Sam chose this bug fabric that I have had in my stash for 12 years. Tiny tote bag pattern from my much-used and always good Bend the Rules Sewing book. Of course everything needs to be labelled now.
We think he's really going to love it there. And I can't wait to pick him up in a couple hours and hear all about it!

So cute! I love the photo that shows his name label.
How sweet: ) What a wonderful send-off for sweet little Sam. He looks so grown up!
