Lined Messenger Bag. Exchanging Fire. My favorite project bag is this lotus-shaped drawstring bag I own.
It’s square with some design features that reminds me of Japanese origami, the beautiful art of paper folding. I love the way it folds in on itself like those old fortune teller paper games we used to play in school when we were children. The design is both simple yet clever. Pulling the drawstring shuts the bag and creates handles for carrying, all without losing its basic shape. Mini Album Project: Using Your Scraps.

I found myself remembering exactly why I loved the holidays and how they could bring hope to the darkest of winters and I realised the magic of Christmas did not belong to children alone. Christmas can be magical at any age, no matter what the circumstances. Journal your Christmas became an online class in 2004, and has continued every December since. Crochet / crochet scarf.

Some people say they’re boring but give me a plate of still warm chocolate chip cookies and a glass of Cruze Farm milk, a good book and a comfy chair and I’m in my own personal Shangri-La. Don’t get me wrong – I’d never turn down a homemade cookie of any kind (although no walnuts please!) But chocolate chip cookies are the best of both my cravings.
