productive plans

Ahhh, Memorial Day Weekend. Summer officially begins! And I officially stay off the road. This will be the second year in a row that I stay at home and be very productive.
In fact, by Friday afternoon I had already done the test run for a new project... jewelry pouches! Inspired by those freakin' cute little cloth holders that anthropologie uses for their gift cards.



The one from anthropologie is on the left. The others were made from leftover fabric scraps and swatches I had lying around, with the thread that was already in the machine. Next, I'll hunt for cute stuff at the Scrap Exchange and do a neater job.



These pouches have a draw-string closure. I think they could be used as a travel jewelry pouch or fill it with potpourri to make a little sachet.

Other projects for this weekend:
*cross-stitching
*experiments with all those leafy greens from the farmers market

*organize: pantry, first aid stuff, craft room


and all along the way I have the best little helper...
