So I whipped up a quick bag sausage to keep them in line and who doesn't love a little spotty/ric-rac combo on a dull Thursday morning.
Next on the list was a place to store the letters I receive from one of my favourite people. I have them in various envelopes around the house and I thought they deserved something a little more special. I use this tutorial as a basic template and then got all free motion embroidery-y on the front with the stamp and address label. My letters are very cosy now and I look forward to making a few more of these for letters from my other letter writing friends (hint-hint).
And having spent an hour cleaning tiny scraps of fabric and threads up from the studio floor and surfaces (I am not a tidy crafter) I got round to making a fabric bucket following this tutorial to put next to my machine and drop all my little threads in. It was a little hard to sew the first circle base but much easier for the lining. I see several more of these in my future as it was so quick to make and is going to be a great way to keep everything tidy.
After all that craft I was a little tired so I sat down with, you've guessed it, sock knitting and Mad Men.
