Scraps

I have great intentions.  And in my brain, I am a perfectionist.  But when life gets in the way, things become imperfect.  Rather than let my expectations get in the way, I go forward with great hope.  So here is my perfectly imperfect purse/kindle holder for a certain someone that I made yesterday.  All of the items were free to me.  I made this with scraps left over from decorating my daughters room in 2006 (when pink and brown were HOT), a button from a sweater that got tossed, and ribbon from a present.  Even the velcro was from the packaging that held the blanket together that I bought for my stockings.  This is truly a free item.

This little diddy has character and I am sure will be appreciated by the recipient and I had fun making it.  Whatever you do, don't be afraid to just try.  Life isn't perfect and your creations aren't either.  None of my lines are straight, it's a little too big, I should have ran the strips vertical instead of horizontal, but it is still beautiful...and made with love, the most important thing.
