Singer time.

For Christmas I asked for a simple sewing machine that I would understand how to use. I tried a week ago to fix a pair of leggings, and I got frustrated and stopped. But on Tuesday, I emptied out a purse I kept some stuff in from going to NYC last September and found an airplane blanket. I immediately thought sweet! free fabric. JetBlue's free tv wasn't working in my seat on the way to JFK, so me- having no shame told them I thought they owed me a free sleep kit (pillow, eye cover & blanket) which they usually charge $7 for. So I decided to try my luck again at the sewing machine, and ended up with this new bag.




Another craft I did on a whim was ironing crayon shreds into wax paper and cutting out hearts. I am going to hang them so when it is sunny you can see through them.

My jaw literally just dropped when I saw your "airplane" bag. Does your creative genius have no limits? Geesh, I love the hearts too!

Molly, I love all these hidden talents--seriously, I am amazed.
I was curious, while you're at it one day can you take Brad's old board shorts that are falling apart and make a wallet out of them? His duct tape wallet is dying...
