Purse / Tote Organizer

As promised in my last post; here are the photos of my organizer project. Here is the link for the recipe or instructions if you prefer.

Empty organizer, notice how sturdy! Easier to load this way

.

Look what I can fit in this thing! I tweeked the pattern to use in my gym bag. It measures 36" x 8" - Pocket is 36"x 7'.

Rolled and ready to put in my gym bag.

In the bag! Spread out to the sides and it leaves a nice area in the center for my towel and clean clothes. Throw in a plastic bag for wet stuff.

And GO!!

Can't wait to finish a smaller one to easily do my quick purse change!!

Out of Hibernation

I finally feel like I've come out of hibernation even with the cold weather and even the snow we have be getting lately. The days are getting longer and we are having longer and longer "sun breaks" (Pacific Northwest speak).

The true test for me is that I've been inspired to finish projects and even to do a little creating. I made one of the super simple and very functional purse organizers.  I found a free pattern at http://thegivingflower.de/?p=920 and of course as per my norm, I tweeked it to suit my needs. Awesome! Any little project that can be finished in less than a day is a great mood booster. Pictures will be coming soon.

Spring

Is this really the end of March? 3 days of off and on snow...enough already!!!!!
