Zara's markers
I had lots of fun making this marker roll for Zara. I used this tutorial, just changing a few things since I was using thin markers instead of colored pencils. I only used scraps that I had on hand to match up each pocket with the color of the markers. I had bought this fun stripe material a while ago just because I liked it. It seemed just right for the back.

Yo-yo Kit
I have a tough time deciding what size yo-yo I need sometimes. I know, I know...they are half of the circle diameter. But for some reason I just need to see them. So I made my own little yo-yo kit. I traced circles that were 2,3,4,5,6, and 7 inches in diameter, using cardboard. Then I made a fabric yo-yo with each size labeling the diameter on the back of the fabric. Next time I need one (or two or three or ten!) I will be able to see exactly which size. I think I might make a pillow cover with different size yo-yo's. What do you think?
Spring bag
A friend asked me to make a bag for her. We picked out the material and ta dah!
I've been loving yo-yo's lately. Can you tell?
Had a few scraps left so made a clutch to match.
And someone please tell me why I can't rotate pictures sometimes! Errrrr.
And for a little incentive to get out there and use this beauty...a 30% off Kohl's coupon! Shop on.

Shower Redo
We removed the sliding door in our shower yesterday.
I made a shower curtain and love the change it made.
I used three different fabrics, piecing them in different widths
to make a long piece. Then I cut it into two parts horizontally.
I used directions from this site.

The curtains don't match the wall color too well, but I loved the fabric.
I think I see a paint brush in my future.
