in the past, i have avoided any crafting that involved zippers. like the plague. i can be an impatient crafter and need instant gratification. zippers rarely provided that for me. zippers made me swear and yell. however lately i have been obsessed with facinng my zipper avoidance with a vengance. now i can't seem to stop making these bags. i have tons, i repeat tons of fabric samples that i have horded over the years (i know i am not alone, fellow interior designers). therefore: fabric samples + no zipper hate = bags pictured below...

feeling confident in my zipper war, i made good luck pencil cases for elizabeth + michelle, two of my 'pod mates' from work both of who are taking the NCIDQ exam (interior design board exam) this friday/saturday. i filled the case with no. 2 pencils, an eraser and a snack bar. they have been studying so hard. they have read the study guide mulitple times which blows my mind since i never finished reading it when it took it 2 years ago. that's because the study guide brings on narcolepsy like no other.

other crafting includes a pillow that i made for a co-worker/friend samantha for her birthday last week. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzeU8b254JXs3qMF3ZCDEKQQb91indyw5QZjh3DRe8RHQimSu4FfkfkkdOzbQjo7j_Kz6oM1OcjZONK0deo5oc6g0ho8Lhq6WTjrglEasxOG4TeVN_Z6RLR6r1BAttAh1C5o9r62x99U70/s320/IMG_2352.JPG)

Oooh. When will you start selling these goodies?
Great-looking zipper pouches. And...a nice sewing machine. Oh...and a VERY nice blog!
I enjoyed your blog this morning with my morning coffee. Made the connection through SFGIRLBYBAY's Amy Butler post. I like your aesthetic, that you too have a new sewing machine, and that you bought the white pots I was eyeing up at IKEA this weekend, as well as the Amy Butler patterns I was wishing I was good enough to sew. Keep up the crafting!
