Day Off...

Today I am blogging early as I am on my day off, not helping at school, but not sure I will have the energy to blog tonight as I am exhausted already and still have the school-ballet-Beavers runarounds to look forward to!

I have already re-sealed the bath, sewn on a Beaver's badge, done 2 loads of washing, quilted a little more of the Constellation (such hard work!), and made this...




The old zipper tabs are not so technically perfect, but it used some of my stash and has a much needed purpose, so that's good enough for me.  It measures up about 10.5" square, and is a pretty nifty size for a storage pouch.

I used some of my old Kokka Matryoshkas, lined it with the same Klona Teal as the Constellation and uses one of my new 9" zippers.

And this is my current view...


I am sorting the charms required for my Made In Cherry, and making the most of the floor before the kids get home, so can't stop, must get back on my knees xxx

  7. I like floors like that!

    Internet Explorer has been rubbish lately. Cannot post comments or reply onto any Blogspot for two weeks now but Chrome works perfectly. A pain constantly switching between the two. Did you know this? xx

  16. Hope you have (had, I guess, with the time difference) a great day off. Sounds like you are off to a nice productive start! I love your Matroyska pouch and the rainbow charms look so luscious all laid out like that! I've only done 2 zippers, but I've use the nylon ones like the ones you are showing and I enjoyed working with them. So many great colors!! (LOts of zippered things for you to make!)
