I've been a good writer lately...trying for at least two pages a day.
Yay me.
So today, on this cloudy Saturday morning, I rewarded myself with making something.
I'm always on the lookout for easy, yet practical and USABLE, gifts. I don't want to spend my time on something that will, in all likelihood, get thrown in a drawer or the recycle bin. Plus, I'm anti-junk.I don't need superfluous stuff in my house...there's plenty of that already...believe me.
So, when I happened up this earbud keychain pouch tutorial, I was mesmerized by its usefulNESS. We have a hard time holding on to earbuds around here. Mostly, this is because there is no good place to put the buds. I put them in my purse, my desk drawer, next to my bed...but they are rarely at hand when I want them. Same with my kids. One day, when we move from this house, I envision unearthing 29 pairs of earbuds. Oh the joy.
But check this:
I know. My technical skills leave something to be desired. I'm convinced that my Bernina needs a day at the sewing machine spa. (It couldn't possibly be me.Right?)
Still I think it turned out super cute. It's even lined! And has a few pieces of thin batting to give it some body.
I'm thinking the girls and I could go into production on these babies. It's a good present for teens and adults alike.
What do you think? Would you use this? Hook it to your keys?
I'm going to test it out this week and I'll get back to you.
I'll take five! Seriously, I will.

Fabulous! I'm doing a Secret Santa swap with my quilt guild and this will be perfect for my partner. Love the fabric you chose!

Very cool little "containers". You could find that easily even if you didn't have it on your key chain. Then there is the problem of people who lose their keys, it will help you find them more easily. I like the batting, keeps the buds from being crushed by something really small. Maybe the keys.
