Library bags and a CD case for me

Last night I decided to whip up a library bag for my son using an old tea towel and scrap yellow fabric and a library bag for my daughter's friend (who wanted a "special one that you can't buy from the shops") using an old pillow case.



I LOVED my son's library bag and I did ask him after I had finished it if I could have it instead and I'll make him another one...but he wouldn't give it up. *sigh* So now I'm on the lookout for an old tea towel so I can make myself a bag (ONC'ers if you see one in an op shop somewhere, let me know!!).

I gave my daughter's friend her library bag today and she loved it so that made me happy.

Also, since I enjoyed making the concert journal so much, I decided to make a modified verson for me (just as a straight out CD case) for the car. Here it is:



The original 45 inside...


As you guys can see, I'm on a bit of a crafting/sewing spree at the moment. I am a bit stressed at work (deadline coming up) and crafting/sewing is relaxing me. So until mid-March, expect more crafting stuff from me!! :)

oh and on that note, Em asked me in my last post (or was it the one before?) how I find the time to do things. Well, the short answer is that I have the time because I consider crafting/sewing a very high priority. (And the long answer is in my post about it on Simple Green Frugal Co-op.) :P

Hope everyone is having a lovely day!

I have an old 'Melbourne' tea towel I'd be very happy to gift to you. I have a friend who gives me all sorts of things she finds on her op shop crawls, and while I love that she thinks of me, and am always intrigued by what she finds, with my own finds as well, I'm running out of room.

I had no plans for this tea towel, ...email me your address and it's yours.

Thank you so much Nanette for your kind offer! Unfortunately I can't work out how to email you and that's why I haven't emailed.

Thank you though for thinking of me. :)

Just love the bags: what a great idea! I wish I knew how to sew, I'd make one for myself right now!
