Sometimes when I'm in the mood to stitch but don't want to tackle anything big I make a few small things instead. Like this mini purse for my Kindle.
Is that hard to see? I wanted to "stage" it in the sunshine as it slants across my bed in the mornings but we all know my photography skills are non-existent. Even if you can't see the purse isn't the sunshine wonderful after these past days of gray and gloom? :)
I have a small wall hanging like this one and it's one of my favorites so I made another for a friend.
More staging ya'll. It's not working for me....get thee over thyself Marlene!
I made this bag before Christmas, loved it so much that I gave it away to a dear friend. Do ya'll ever do that? It just looked more like her than me.
But I kept thinking about that bag and I had more fabric and we don't live in the same town or country even so I just made another one for myself!
Now this one looks more like me - a bit slouchy and soft, a little oversized, vocal about my faith.
I also made a few new lavender sachets for my dresser drawers but they're already in the drawers and if you think I'm taking a picture of them you are mistaken. While they aren't completely a mess they aren't as neat and tidy as a magazine and that's what it would take to get me to show them. :)
I need a few more small things to do - got any ideas for me?

Aww that wall hanging is soooo cute! I know she'll "love" it!!!!
I love the staging...quite good like the sun is just kissing your pieces of work..and I am very impressed...and I love the bags...there is nothing like it...these sizes are perfect.......now for new small projects how about, a slipper bag, wine bottle bag, toilet paper cover..NOOOOO just kidding on that one...I am off to my retreat..yours was my last post before I say good bye lol... annnnnd keep staging this is good.
First of all, I'm so jealous that you have a Kindle! lol I do like the case you made for it. Secondly, those bags are great. I'm a purse/bag person and while some women go crazy with shoes, I could easily have a closet full of bags if not for disliking clutter and too many choices more.
The little things are very important - especially the sun shining in your window.
I admire your Kindle cover -- and everything else. Those bags are wonderful.
Yes, it's great to see sunshine. I'm looking forward to the great thaw.
I'm making a small wallet to hang around my neck while shopping. It is mostly for my new Android - it is too large for the pockets on my too tight jeans. Of course, this is just in the planning stage. Gotta finish my sister's birthday gift first -- intended for 2009 birthday (oops!).
How come we share so many genes, but not the "Project-A-Day" gene? What, you didn't study about that gene in your genetic class?
Sunshine in winter is so good for the spirits! Marlene, your creations are just lovely. How about a covered notebook?
So, that's where our sun went!
Hey, I think the toilet paper cover was a great idea.My owl cover hangs right below the one in use with the spare. I am thinking of something like a chatelain to wear around my neck when I quilt with a pocket for my glasses and a quick holder for scissors, pins, and thread.(and maybe the phone so I don't have to drop everything to go answer it)
I love all your small ideas. I have a small quick quilting idea for you....Have you done the Mug Rugs yet? I joined a Mug Rug swap and it was great. They are great gifts and they use up your scraps. You can see them on my blog at http://www.niftyfiftyquilters.blogspot.com/
It is easier for me to do the little things! I love all your goodies.
I'm thinking a Valentine's pillow for someone special.
You make me laugh Marlene.
Lovely projects.
Being a Kindle lover, I am so glad to see you have provided it with such an attractive place to rest.
Marlene, you crack me up!! I love all your little projects as well!
I enjoyed an English muffin on my lovely new mug rug this morning before church. I didn't even get it dirty... just a little crumbly but those dusted off nicely. It was nice knowing it was from you. Your goodies are winging your way so be looking!!
Love & Blessings

You are wonderful. Always busy. I need a new cell phone case. I got a new cell phone this week and it is too long to fit in my leather case I have for my old phone. Maybe I should follow your example and make one.
I don't have a kindle but I wish I did.
Have a great week. I won't be able to blog next week but I will be thinking of you. Hugs, Lura
Love the kendle bag-I have a friend who needs one like that!
