Look what I made....




How cute is this??!!
A quick easy (once I figured out the ric-rak, thanks Mindy!) solution for storing Katie's make-up brushes! I like this so much I think I am going to have to make one for myself too! The hard part is deciding on fabric!! I adapted a pattern for storing 16 crayons that I found on the internet, then I added the contrast stitching (instead of just the white thread from the machine) using three strands of embroidery floss to spice it up.
The pattern instructions and lots of other fun projects can be found at skiptomylou.org

  1. Hey Baby, That came out really good. I think Katie is going to love it. I think you should make one for yourself. Maybe even a couple of them.
