I loved Jes' post about needing to have an artistic outlet every once in a while. I wish mine was as easy to clean up as her writing is! I love crafty things with beautiful fabric or paper but projects involving them tend to be a bit messy. I tried to be content with a "digital" craft but alas the lure of the fabric store and unending Pinterest ideas won out.
Witness the great fabric splurge of 2012:

| Ahhh. A thing of beauty, no? |
Reality set in though as I attempted to spend one Friday evening
sewing and instead spent it putting children to bed and back to
bed and back to bed again. Then, as I can't stay up all night like I
could in the "olden days" the project sat unfinished on the dining room
table until I couldn't stand it anymore.
It's not
all I had hoped for or planned but it was fun and we all have new
library or meeting bags. And I have a nice little stash for when
inspiration and opportunity meet again.

I LOVE my new library bag. Actually it was meant to be a gift but I couldn't bear to part with it. Sorry, anonymous person...maybe I can make you another one??

Love your fabric choices! Everytime I see something you guys make, I want to learn how to sew!!! But not really, I'd be lame at it.
You are so creative. Wished I could sew. With baby on the way I should take up sewing...hm...

Justine these are just beautiful. You could sell them! Or were they too much work?
