A Wee Gift...

Can you guess what I am making??? Those colours sure seem familiar...hmmm...



Here I will do the last bit of rotary cutting and maybe that will help...



Aha Pencils!!!!

And even better...PENCIL pencil cases. Hee hee!!! Inspired by this adorable one I saw by Amy at Badskirt last night while blog reading. I loved it so much, I pulled the fabrics before I went to bed and sewed them directly after I dropped off the wee man at school this morning. Noooo, I am not obsessed with them. Ok, maybe a little (big) bit.

One is for keeps and the other one is filled with sewing notions and chocolate and being sent off to a sweet bloggy friend who did something awfully nice for me. It's a tiny thank you for a kind gesture.



If you would like to make one too, you can find the tutorial here at Gwenny Penny.

Happy weekend all!!! Linking up with 'Finish it up Friday' at Crazy Mom Quilts and 'Let's get Acquainted Monday' hosted by Ange at Heart of Charnwood.
