Instant gratification projects
I like making quick instant gratification projects while working on my bigger projects. Sometimes I feel guilty about it, like I should be focusing on one project at a time, but when I work on projects that take months (
like this quilt) I need a break. And I need a finished item in my hand. In an hour. Here are a few of my latest small accomplishments.
A neck warmer for my soon to be brother in law. If you recognize the fabric it's because you have seen it before for
this project. The neck warmer is filled with rice and lavender. After three minutes in the microwave it feels amazing.
I got myself a new digital camera and didn't want to be stuck with a boring case, so I made one myself with fabric and quilt batting. I made the purple piping and the inside is lined with a black and white polka dot fabric. There are no pictures of the inside because it looks embarrassingly terrible and I don't want you to laugh at me.
This weekend I went to
Birch and got a quarter yard of the fabric above. I loved the print, but wasn't sure what I should do with it. I decided to make a sash to tie around my waist or tie in my hair. Currently, I am obsessed with tying scarves in my hair, so I'm sure this sash will get some use.
See, I love scarves! A girl's got to tie her hair back when she's eating a crab dinner!
