With the start of school, my kiddos weren’t the only ones in need of a new bag. Between hauling everything to and from school, soccer practices, and all the errands in between, I needed a bag that essentially doubles as a control center: a snack-carrying, letter-from-school-toting, shin-guard wielding, entertaining machine. Charlotte has been battling boredom during Jack’s Tuesday night practices, and as I was thinking of a bag I could carry, I had a thought that it might be fun to incorporate an interactive game into the design of the bag using the same idea from her interchangeable flower tee. I immediately thought of the game tic-tac-toe, since I knew those pieces would work very well with the same method I used for the flowers. And thus, the idea for the Tic-Tac-Tote was born. This would also be a great bag for kiddos to carry to give them something to do as they wait at the bus-stop!
There will be a full tutorial for the process soon to come (most likely tomorrow), but I wanted to go ahead and share the photos of the finished bag, which I just wrapped up this morning, since I was too excited to wait! 🙂 Admittedly, this thing is pretty wild, but that works for me, since it isn’t as likely to get lost in the abyss that has recently become the floor of my Sienna! 🙂
Have a terrific Weekend Eve, my friends!

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. You are spectacular! 🙂
What a great idea! The coloring is the same as a dress that I made for my 2 year old recently. Zebra print with hot pink. Love it!
Absolutely positively a-DOR-able!!
This is so clever! New looks, new way to entertain little people
I don’t even know what to say. I am constantly BLOWN AWAY by you. There is a NEVER ENDING stream of genius that comes out of that brain of yours. And along with amazing ideas….comes out of this world design and styling. Can I be you when I grow up? Please?
What an incredible idea!!
This is so cute! I love the idea of a more interactive and fun purse like this. Phooey to stuffy handbags! If you have a free moment, I have a new weekly (I hope!) Linky on my blog called Not “Baaad” Sundays with LambAround. I’d love for you to post this 🙂
How cute!!! My daughter saw this and already is asking me to make a version of it.
the tote is darling on it’s own but the tic tac toe makes it super duper special!
You make me want to learn to sew SOOOO bad! I’m going to have to give in and take a class or something…I’ve got to get me that bag!
Shut up! You are too freaking amazing. You rock! I am in big puffy heart love with your bag.

Oh my! That is the best idea! I loved the interchangeable bows for the shirt idea and might be using it in my challenge, and then I come to find this! So cute.
Sharing this on our facebook!
Man oh man this is brilliant. I am continually amazed by your cleverness and creativity.
I love the bag it is very stylish, I like the color too..:D
My six year old would freak out over this bag. She’s the queen of the tic tack toers – LOL
