Thursday, 12th March 2009
Made a fabric pill holder based on the cardboard ones my sister gets with her supplies.
Drew around her old one and also the pill pack to make a template.
Then made the pouch/holder with printed fabric from Bahrain and Felt.
(Need to make the template larger, rather tight fit)

Had a go at making envelopes out of old calendar pictures. (Adapted the template on CO&K site to something I was happy with)
Finally did the finishing touches on the Apple Pocket, based on Kumiko Sudo's design. I enlarged it a bit so I could more items in and also put in magnetic clasps for closure.
(Still need to finish off the mini mock-up version of this that I started before this one!)

Yay, I've now got a super cute pincushion! (Thanks Betz White for the inspiration) Not only can I stick pins in it, it also has space to store them & look yummy at the same time! ^_^

Today, I had my first proper swimming lesson at 8:45am! (Don't think I would've ever gone to one, if it wasn't due to my B/F.)
Finished a long delayed (and much needed) project - Cherry Booklet (from Kumiko Sudo's book, Kokoro no Te - Handmade Treasures from the Heart) My last felt needle/pin holder has served me very well, (wow! Almost 20 years now! Made it in primary school when I was 8/9 years old o_o) unfortunately it has become rather tatty and in desperate need of a make-over! (What should I turn it into?)
...

Adores handmade things, but doesn't always have the inspiration & motivation to make myself.
Has a bad habit of spending money on craft items & fabrics, but doesn't alway have the time or energy to start/finish a project >_<
