The Lost Ann-Mi

Nothing exists until or unless it is observed.

I’m working on a bag. I’ve been going to a course for the past three Wednesdays to learn some bag-making techniques. When they’re all done, I’ll post ‘em here. :) Meanwhile, here’s a little teaser…

Tasty-looking knitted Cupcake pincushion from the Factory Direct Craft blog.

Potholder

Find out how to make these simple but beautiful felt pot holders on design sponge.

They’re so pretty. I love the little imperfections that makes every leaf unique. And this project just happens to combine my longing for autumn leaves (which are not present in this country) and my desire to use my sewing machine (also not present).

Cute little bag. I think the cloth is what makes it so special… but I also like all the little details.

Travel Pouch

Thimble has posted a lovely tutorial for this travel jewelry case. It has lots of little pockets for your treasures, and a big one in the middle. It ties up with string.

I can imagine that this would be really easy to customize with hand-painted details or applique. Lovely!
