Spring Inspriation

I have been loving this city! All morning it was pouring rain and as I adventured out into the downtown core, the rain broke, clouds parted and the sun made an appearance!

I found this amazing website with links to other craft sites and an entire blog universe I had been wholly underutilizing. Four hours and fifty plus bookmarks later, I was swimming in new craft ideas and projects. I dreamed of making my own yarn from old tshirts and revelled in the thought of sewing clutches to give to friends. 

Before I went out for my morning americano, I endeavoured to create a re-useable coffee sleeve, using recycled fabric from my stash. I would say it was a success! Three people asked me about my sleeve on the skytrain and the barista was impressed with my mad skillz. Please note that this one is the prototype, all subsequent creations will be more cohesive and.. straight.
