Oh how I wish somebody would help me to exercise a bit of restraint these days. I'm a completely loose cannon.Instead of going to bed on time, like a nice little 36 week pregnant woman should, I'm up until all hours glued to my couch cheering on our Olympic gymnastics team, swimmers, and divers.
When I caught myself watching Vietnam play badminton, I realized that some sort of addiction had set in.
I'm writing it off to final stages of pregnancy insanity. My recent purchase of 2 very large New York steaks for dinner will also fall into this category.
My last post had shown strips cut out, and they went into a little pencil holder project that I made for some friends of our son. The pattern came out of Last Minute Patchwork & Quilted Gifts. This book is of course a must have. If you don't have a copy already, HELLO! You need one. Author is owner of Purl, of course you knew that already, but pattern maker of this pencil roll is actually owner of Pink Chalk.
The fabric that I used for the lower part of the outside of the roll (I didn't follow the pattern exactly actually, I made the outside from 2 pieces of material) is my recent order from Pink Chalk. (Highly recommend ordering from them, very professional!)
Thank God my mom was visiting, and SERIOUSLY helped me finish these. I made a little boy version as well.
That pencil roll looks lovely. Good luck with the pregnancy madness! I can't believe you have only 25 days left!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about making one of these! I've had the book forever (love!) and *just* got some colored pencils to go with my new Shrinky Dinks obsession. Hmm... You are inspiring me to do it!
ReplyDeleteyour pencil roll is so cute! Rest is relative.
