Yesterday was Earth Day

I didn't do anything particularly green yesterday 'cos it was Earth Day. I did, however, make this as a response to an article in today's newspapers that the supermarts will be charging for plastic bags.

While I'm a supporter of BYOB, I wonder how I'm going to settle the problem of mandatory by law bagging of rubbish 'cos I've been using the supermart plastic bags.

Anyway...

I've had this Debi Hron for Timeless Treasures fabric for a while. It's a bit bright for me but I thought I'd use it for this fold-away shopper bag. It's unlined but with no exposed / raw seams. All stress points have been reinforced so that it can take heavy loads. The pocket is just right for folding the body and handles away and tucking into. I think I'll put up instructions later if there's a request.

Have a blessed day!

How far can you turn your head?

Did you see the snowy owl in HP turning its head around? Owls can turn their cat-like heads between 180 - 270 degrees. Other interesting facts here.

Made this reversible tissue case on a whim. Would that be too many owls? Most of the time owls can be found on Japanese fabrics but this is from Timeless Treasures. Can you count how many different owls there are on each side, LOL?

Have a blessed day!

Double duty

Sometimes when I make these quilted book covers, they seem like mousepads to me. I have a plain black mousepad that came with the PC. These would look much better than that, no? Plus, with the different colours and shapes, wouldn't sensitivity of the mouse improve? I can't remember how optical mice work.

Have a blessed day!

Combinations

Listed these 2 multi-purpose pouch and tissue case combos in Tiffany's Shoppe.

I tried a new way of interfacing for the zippered pouch and I'm liking the results. Not puffy like batting yet not floppy like with only a single layer of lining. 

Meant this as a pencil case 'cos I'm in the pencil-case-making mood but you can put anything you like in there. Angpows? *grin*

Have a blessed windy day!
