Lyra Pencil bag

I have been meaning to post this for a while, but seem to keep forgetting. :o)



I really loved the lilac bell gnome that Suez knitted and it inspired me.. Thanks Suez! And I can't wait till she joins in with the fun at our home.

Snug as a bug!

And out they peek!
:o)

Carle, I love this! I've been wanting to make something like this for our block crayons. You've inspired us to make one with felt and embroidery. Lovely!

That pencil holder is beautiful! I keep thinking about making one of those, especially since the metal box that our pencils came in is all bent up now, but I keep putting it off to do other things. Maybe if I go back and look at how pretty yours is again, I'll feel more motivated.

That is just beautiful. I made one out of corduroy fabric for my boys, but I love yours in felt!

What a nice pencil case. I love the embroidery. I am lucky to have a mom who has made one for my kids, too! Your blog is wonderful! It is so nice to transport across the planet to where you are!

I love the embroidery and felt, Ive only seen pencil rolls done in cotton fabrics, and the ties are great, ours keeps untucking because it is just a flap... so much inspiration, thankyou!
