Isn’t this the cutest crow? This is a Buttermilk Basin pattern that I stitched up as a wool applique. I love the pear and the word “Simplify” – I think that’s good advice to keep in mind. Simplifying is easier said than done ;).


Winter is almost over and I am looking forward to spring. On my last snow day, I made this pencil roll to hold my colored pencils. I used some nice spring fabrics that coordinated nicely with the pencil colors. You can also use this to hold crochet hooks, make-up brushes, or even knitting needles!
If you are feeling especially crafty (or have the time), you can embroider your name on the flap or on the outside.
