In pop culture this statement from the New Testament is misquoted as "money is the root of all evil", but it is the LOVE of money which St. Paul was warning against.
Embroidery was my first love before I became a quilt addict. Every once in a while, I'm tempted of getting rid of all the embroidery material and tools. However, right now I'm so glad that I never succeeded in mariekondoing this drawer because even if a month ago these embroidery threads didn't spark my joy, today they do. : )

Dear partner, due to Turid´s saying that a EPP pouch dooes not need to have a zipper, I said to myself why not looking for something else to close a bag ... this is what I have seen over at quarter inch mark.
I hope you like this little bag!!
I wanted to kick off the new year with moving my sewing machine in front of a window where I can enjoy beautiful morning light and at the same time I wanted to use the old sewing table as a cutting table. For a few days everything went well, but quite soon the cutting mat vanished under piles of new fabric - my favorite Christmas present - and fabric lying around that I hadn’t gotten to dealing with.
So between the holidays it was about time to reorganize my stash. While I was sorting fabrics by color and folding it, I threw all the small fabric pieces - smaller than a fat eight - into a basket below the sewing table. After two afternoons the surface of the old sewing table was looking quite good, the cutting mat was ready for the next sewing adventure and my cupboard was as tidy as possible. However, now every time I wanted to get to my cutting mat, I had to step around an overflowing scrap basket.
To cut a long story short, I needed another scrap busting project. Therefore I sorted the scraps by color and cut the light colored ones into 2,5 inch squares. When I looked at the different sizes of the piles, I got aware that it would be best to make bags in different sizes - the larger the pile, the larger the drawstring bag. This blue one will be the largest one by far. Now I need another medium sized bag for the yellow and orange scraps.
WIP - low volume drawstring bag: time to use some of the squares which I cut for the Irish Chain Quilt, but didn't use in the end.
Finally! Yesterday I got a spare hour, sat down and finished this drawstring bag from last September. I used the green ribbon because I ran out of time. Maybe I'll change it when I find time to make the ties from a printed fabric.
If you are interested in more pictures, you'll find them in the albums "WIP / A quilter's diary" and "Small quilted items". Happy sewing and quilting!
I like it even better than the first one. Maybe because I felt like using up some long time favorite fabrics. Now there is still enough of the same kind of batting for a smaller bag.

I started playing with my hexagons with no specific project in mind and ended up with this very useful bag. Right now it is used for storing the content of the little drawers of my old sewing table, like ribbons, zippers and so on. I definitely prefer it to plastic boxes.

Partner, what do you think about this little bag as your small project. And duh, it was late and after I added the ties, I realized they weren't solid! Does it matter?? (pattern by Jeni of In Color Order)

"Well as giraffes say,
you don't get no leaves
unless you stick your neck out."
~ Sid Waddell ~
Had fun with some fabric (on the right) which I found after purchasing a baby journal (on the left) with giraffes! I created a draw string bag to enclose the hand-bound journal. The centerfold of the tree was just a quick night capture in a parking lot, but I love how the few remaining leaves compliment the quotation!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Lined Drawstring Bag Tutorial: In Color Order
Blogged at Lindsay Sews
Knitted this little treasure bag with part of a skein of hand died wool. It is my own adaptation of this pattern on Ravelry:
I can't show the front just yet because I think it will give away my partner, but here is the back of my bag!

Sylva Puzzles
S-056
plywood
320 pieces
12.6 x 16.14 in
I make no apologies for including so many images of this puzzle: it's from a new British manufacturer so I think it deserves a little more attention.
I saw a mention of Sylva Puzzles in a Facebook group so headed to their website. Only one image appealed: this one; the rest are modern subjects.
So I took the plunge and ordered, assuming that being British, it would arrive fairly quickly.
Unfortunately, what they don't make clear is that they don't (so far) keep stocks in UK; their puzzles are made in China, so delivery took longer than I'd anticipated.
Communication was haphazard - I got an email asking my opinion of the puzzle a few days before it arrived, and then another telling me delivery was imminent after it had supposedly travelled from China to the USA!
Needless to say I was amazed when it turned up the following day!
So what's my opinion of the puzzle itself?
Let's start with the cardboard box it was sent in. Some outer damage (possibly down to Evri's 'careful' (!) handling, but nothing too bad.
Now to the puzzle box itself. A badly dented lid (see photo) and a small dent to the corner of the box base - probably due to Evri's handling. I can put up with this, it's too much trouble to ask for it to be rectified and doesn't affect the puzzle.
The box is actually quite sturdy, but twice the size it needs to be. A couple of cards were inside with some information about the artist and the company, and the pieces themselves, housed in a velvety drawstring bag, all gave the impression of a quality item. My only gripe here is the poor print quality on those cards, the spelling could be better, too.
Now for the puzzle itself: and here's where I want to heap praise where it's due! Wonderfully thick pieces, heaps of clever and imaginative whimsies, and a fiendishly irregular border, made for a couple of days' fun.
So all in all, I have to say I'm pleased with my purchase, but with reservations; perhaps once they've sorted out their teething problems and maybe started to hold stocks in UK I may be tempted to buy from them again.
