pencil pouch!



Well, I'm making something like this...but it won't look nearly as awesome.
In case you don't want to click the link, here's the finished product (not mine).
How do I know it won't look as awesome? Because I've seen it, and it's just a little jankier. But it's still cute and will hold my pens and pencils. and a pencil sharpener. Yes, I still use #2 pencils.

I will put up a picture when I figure out how to finish the darn thing. I'm struggling a little...but, luckily I have a little thing called a photo editor to hide the ragged edges.

see ya, pigeons.

Shout out to my Moms


When I compare my sewing skills to my mothers, it's as if I cut all my fingers off and tried to sew. She is just really good at it. One thing I wanted was a pin cushion that wasn't an apple. For some reason I really like pears. I mean, they are delicious, they are fun to sketch, to paint, to decorate with, and to eat. Did I mention they taste really good?
So here is a picture of my generic old apple pin cushion next to my awesome pear that my mom made me.
