Procrastinating

Even though I have a zillion things I should be working on (number one being the raggy quilt I'm making for my Mother for Christmas), I decided to try to make myself a wristlet.
The first attempt was just plain dumb. It's HUGE!! More like a duffel bag than a wristlet. I'll be using it as a travel bag or something, I don't quite know yet.


Attempt number two was a teensy bit better...but still way too tall.


Unfortunately, I've run out of that fabric, so attempt number three will be different. I will not attempt number three until I at least have the fabric cut for the quilt!


I ran over the river to Joann's a week ago or so and I couldn't resist buying these minty things:



Is that not the cutest little tin ever???? The mints are ok, I think they are fruity, but it's all about the tin.

I've signed up for a digital photography seminar this Saturday. It promises to teach me about composition and lighting. I'm really looking forward to it.


Lastly, I've added a couple more card sets to my Etsy shop.

i read this earlier, but couldn't comment because of a squirmy baby... well, he's on my lap again so excuse any weird typos.

the wristlets look cute. it's hard to judge the size in a photo. love the fabric.

The "wristlets" look nice - like the fabric. Can't really tell the size from the photo but if they are not wristlet size they'd make a great knitting carry-all - especially that top one.

Your pictures all look so professional since you set up your light box. I'm going to have to have hubby take a look at it.

Let us know what you learn in your photo class.

So I picked up some clip lamps at WalMart and took some pictures in my light box and they didn't turn out too well. I'm going to have to go take a look at the tutorial you linked in that post.

That fabric is so cute. I hope you can find a use for the wristlets that didn't turn out so well. They look nice, it's just hard to tell the size from the picture.
