Toy storage

I made these fabric buckets (using the idea from here) to replace our overflowing toy basket in the living room area. My first attempt, the "baby" bucket, ended up looking a bit too "reusable grocery tote" to me, so I made some changes to the top and the handles for the "cars" bucket. I plan on making at least a couple more (one for balls, another for books).

Can these adorable buckets be folded for mailing? If so I want to buy one from you for my toys here. It would be perfect. Let me know. L&K N

Nannie, you are too sweet! :) Sure, I could make one of these for you. What would be even cuter is if you had any leftover fabric from your own house--from curtains or any of your CUTE chairs (like that bug fabric!). You could send that to me and I could use it to make one or more buckets.

So I commented before I went to the link, and I just went there, and laughed! I've got that blog on my google reader, and I remember seeing that post a while back, but wasn't that impressed. Yours are so much cuter!! I would have paid attention (and maybe even wanted to make one) if I saw a pic of yours on there!!
