A few tidbits

Wow it has been awhile since I wrote on my blog! Life goes by so quickly doesn't it?!
Today I wanted to share two cute things I have made in the past few weeks :)

First up is this little bee potholder. As soon as I saw the Pretty Little Potholder tutorial by Amy of Nana Company, I knew I had to make it! It was so fun to make, I really enjoyed the process.

I loooove this fabric. The main is Briar Rose by Heather Ross and the print behind it is Honey by Kate Spain. The binding is just from Spotlight. It's a lovely yellow, I wish I had of bought more while they were still stocking it :(

Next up is a little drawstring bag I made just today. The tutorial is by Jeni Baker from In Color Order. It's fully lined and very simple to make. The boxed corners were a new technique for me, as well the free motion machine embroidery. The embroidery was sooo much easier than I was expecting! I really love the finished item. I will be using it to protect my books when I take one in a handbag with me. Some sort of book protection is a must for me, my handbag can be a nightmare junkyard at times haha!

The fabrics in this one are Antique Flower in Pastel by Lecien and a pale blue homespun from Spotlight.

Anyway, that is all I have for today. I will try to start posting more regularly :)
