Due to my sluggishness in housekeeping and bad time-management, I seldom cleaned up my craft room after each project.

Also, I always start a new project immediately after one, and most of the time I am on several projects simultaneously. My hands work slower than my brain, this is the major one to blame! With so many things to do at one time, all my craft materials are all over my working space, on the table, in the drawers, on the floor and some even still in the bags of the craft store where I bought them from….. one word, MESSY!!! I spent more time searching and digging out craft materials than the actual crafting time. Out of sight out of mind, majority of the time, I don’t even remember I have bought certain materials and have to buy again, opppssss… the materials pop up in front of me when I am not searching for them (I think this happened to many of you too… :D). Label, label, label on the boxes and drawers!!!!

Mes photos sont moyennes, c'est pourquoi je vous invite à visiter son site et son blog, ainsi que sa galerie ! I Have Been Changed For Good. I love this song from Wicked the Musical. It speaks to me and reminds me of all the wonderful people I have met who have left handprints on my heart. Those who, having met them, have changed me..for good.

Robin Atkins is one of those people. It wasn't the fact that she taught me bead embroidery techniques that I didn't know. It wasn't the fact that she is a kind and gentle soul and a delight to learn from. What changed me the most by taking Robin's course was her way of journaling improvisationally through her beadwork. The first day of Robin's workshop was spent teaching us the beading techniques demonstrated in her books.

After completing our sampler, we moved on to working our own improvisational piece of bead embroidery. Robin said, "Don't think, just pick up something you love and place it on the fabric.

I have been a big fan of Theresa Pulido’s locker hook crafts & projects, and her books “Locking Loops: Unique Locker Hooking Handcrafts to Wear and Give” and Hook, Loop ‘n’ Lock: Create Fun and Easy Locker Hooked Projects are really creative and inspiring.

How to sew a mini bunny sachet

As a memento of the year, I made some bunny sachets. I filled them with silica gel (in bead form) and turn them into desiccant bags for my metal notions stored in the glass bottles. The silica bead will help in controlling the humidity in the glass bottle, hence to protect the metal from oxidation and degradation. This project is ideal if you have a lot of fabric scraps that you want to de-stash. It is quick and easy to sew, I am able to complete a dozen of them within hours including taking photos for all the steps. This bunny sachet pattern is not confined only as a desiccant bag, you can fill it with other ingredients and turn it into personal amenity, for example: 1.
