I’m taking a few days to do a little less of this and a little more creating and relaxing, because it turns out that when you don’t do that for a while, life is less fun.
I bought these on the way home from the grocery store, even though I clearly don’t own any vases. The weather here is gorgeous, and making it feel almost like summer. Even though I appear to have entirely missed daffodil season, which is tragically short (daffodils are amazing, I cannot mention this enough), flowers are important.

Oh man. It’s been freaking forever, I know, and I have a whole bunch of really super excuses, but they’re not that interesting. Basically: life caught up with me, I haven’t been crafting, such is the way of the universe. I’ll see what I can do about that in the future.
Anyway, I did ultimately sew something (you will recall, I bought some fabric). This is another very very practical project (as in “sewing something for a specific purpose” – there are much more practical things to do with my time than handsewing, I am positive) – a little mini-wallet for cards-and-bills. Really, the only reason I’d ever use this is for times when I want to go to bars and don’t want to take a purse with me, which is. . .not often, admittedly. But whatever, it’s cute.
I worked out the pattern myself, after staring at these amazing wallets on Craftster for a half hour or so, and since I had a bit of time on my hands that day, it sort of. . .came together.
