Courtesy Pattern : CP47 - Summer Tech Bag: Strawberry

Who doesn't love strawberries?
I suppose someone who has an allergy to this luscious berry may - but I can tell you, the chipmunks & mice in my yard and I have been in battle for the past few seasons to see who gets to them first.  (The critters have been winning!!)
This year, in an attempt to outsmart these little varmints, I have several strawberry plants in raised planters.  I thought I had them beat and would have at least a few berries to much on this season...  only to be undone by the Robins!!

But, I will have my berries.  One way or another!

This Tech Bag - is my guaranteed berry fix.

Meet Ay and Zhe ... they have come to conquer the Earth through simplicity and cuteness!  Don't let the big, soulful eyes of this troublesome twosome fool you - they love to mischief make whenever possible.  They've been known to hide candy, car keys and anything else that is small enough for them to slime their way on top of.  But they promise to behave themselves, if only long enough to celebrate their terrestrial cousins' anniversary. It was in 1947, after the Roswell Daily Record, announced the "capture" of a "flying saucer" on July 8 - well, that was one of their cousins - Roul... ever since that infamous date, humankind has had a growing curiosity with Extra Terrestrials.    From ET (made famous by Steven Spielberg in the 80's) to movies like MIB (okay, now I have the theme song stuck in my head!)...  We come in all shapes and sizes - but we all want one thing... "to speak to your leader".. or in this case, Mom.. or Dad - "Make Us!" ✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦
