Quick, fast and in a hurry cuteness!!!

I saw these very cute tissue pouches/holders on etsy.com and thought they were extremely cute and a very good idea...so, naturally...I stole the concept.  I spent a little time figuring out how to construct these things and what size to cut out and blah blah blah and after much thought on this I set out on my endeavor...and here's what I got!













Update!!!  I made more.  I also made a travel wipes case with matching tissue pouch!!!

Not since October!!!

     I just realized how long it's been since I posted anything!  Wow....3 months...that's a good long while.  I made cards for Christmas, I guess I should have taken photos of them...too late now.  I haven't been doing very many crafts or sewing projects lately...I need motivation.

     I have sewn together a few more shopping bags.  I got a new presser foot for my sewing machine which has been awesome.  I made another blanket.  I'm going to make another one if I can decide on a coordinating fabric or I might just make it into something else.  I'm working on plans for a water bottle bag/purse because I want to use it to go to zumba/gym.

     I wish there was such a thing as the cleaning fairy.  I looked around my house today and thought that she was really letting her job slide.  Dishes strung out on all the counters, laundry still in the dryer...dry just waiting, clutter and some trash, dirty carpet and a floor in need of sweeping and mopping, recycling hanging about the floor, the computer area in desperate need of organizing...and so on...and on, and on!

   Stress coming out of my eyeballs!  I'm starting to lose my mind again...lots to worry about and finalize, mostly unproductive things.  Well, I suppose I could be up to doing something...just what might that be...

Giving a new look to old jars...


take off the inner circle





cut a piece of fabric larger than the circle

make slits in the fabric close to the circle

using glue around the circle pull up the slits of fabric



I used fabri-tac

put more glue on the underside of the circle and glue it to the wooden base
