I think not *sigh* Either I'm incredibly pokey while sewing or I was sloshed (hey, it was only one glass of wine)! It took me closer to 1.5 hours to make the purse based on Jodie Carleton's pattern. I like the shape, long strap and button details (I have a thing for buttons, I guess). The fabric is from my stash, and I can't remember how long I've had it. But the fabric was definitely too awesome to remain unnoticed. Voila! It's now a purse (16 of 50). 
The zipper on my favourite coin purse finally gave out...after 5 years of service. Rather than head out to the shops to buy a replacement, I decided to make one. I've always thought the flex frame style was neat...and I remembered reading (somewhere?) about using the metal strip portion of tape measures to fabricate odd sized flex frames. I searched online and found a couple of tutorials to that effect, but nothing that worked specifically for my purpose. Hence, I decided to make my own pattern. This coinpurse (15 of 50) is by no means perfect and requires a wee bit of tweaking...but it'll do for now until version 2.0 comes to fruition! 
I've been too tired to be productive in the evenings when I get home from work. Much as I would like to sew, knit or play with my paper stash, I lack the concentration to work on crafts that require some sort of planning. Spinning is the exception. It's totally relaxing to watch a couple of movies and spin (which to me, is a mindless activity). My recent handpuns (14 of 50) are all from batts or rovings that I've had in my stash for awhile. Yay! Fiber destashing in the works!!

And last but not least, a WIP using the Candy Batts (mill ends and firestar) I received two Christmases ago! I adore the vivid colours and I think I might have to ply this one to make it shine! 
Oh poo. One of my matchboxes did not make it to my swap partners. I have no problems making another matchbox...heck I enjoy making these wee things. But it really annoys me that the mail system has failed me...again.
But on to good things. I actually made a mini stash of these matchboxes to have on hand for use at the crafty meetup with CD in April. It was nice to do a quick test to see how my idea would pan out. Yep! A chunky mini matchbox house filled with chunky mini things. Try saying that fast three times!
