more handmade gifts

here's hope in a flower pot!

this morning i got sick of looking at the old, crackling plastic

sewing machine cover.

so i used it as a template and made this new one.

much better!

this is a "nerd kit" that i made for gretta this morning.

it's an IOU christmas present.

this afternoon, i'll make one for lindsey, too.

i used the pencil roll and needle roll technique to put it together.

it holds a bunch of goodies...

-a "rite in rain" spiral notebook

-a pocket magnifier

-a clear storage box

(all ordered from acorn naturalists)

-tweezers

-a sharpie pen

-a pencil

this is especially designed for the reed sisters,

who take a wee bit of pride in being nerdy, outdoorswomen.

easy to tuck into daypacks for

fun ramblings in the fields and woods!

here's lindsey's version, that i finished later this afternoon.
