When I first saw the Little Duffle Do It pattern I thought they looked so cute; I knew I just had to make one.  The fact that you can change the mood to fit the situation just by changing your fabric selection makes these very versatile for gift giving.  Combine that with the four size options and you can make something that will appeal to Dads or Grads, guys or gals, teenagers or adults.  They are a great size for organizing little things when you travel—like cell phone or iPod chargers, ear buds, and the miscellaneous cords you need to take but don’t want loose in your luggage. They're also great for traveling Dads who need to pack a razor, shampoo and shaving cream all in one place. I made the medium-sized duffle from one of our batiks.  It turned out beautifully but I gave it away as a gift before a trip and didn’t think to take a picture!  The next one will be just for me!

Well, it’s that time of year again where seniors are graduating from high school and taking on a new frontier, the halls of ivy.  My nephew and Godson is just that person full of excitement and anticipation to finally adventure into this wonderful rite of passage.

I love making my own cards for others. I think adding a touch of something you make is sometimes like a gift in itself. Sometimes I browse through my stash for scraps to glue onto blank cards, and save them for a later date. I bought a charm pack of Tulane and I knew the design of these urban, gritty, and bold fabrics would make a nice design for a thank you card for my dad.
