I am contributing some handmade things for our Women's Connections Group at church. The necklace roll and keychain I have done before, but the eyeglass case is new. I think it turned out really cute. I've been needing a couple of cases for the various reading glasses around my house, I still haven't made one for me yet. This case is big enough to hold 2 reading glasses! I quilted the top to give it a little extra something. I think it turned out cute.

Jewelry Roll with Zippered Pouches
Another creation from my One Yard Wonders book. I have been so scared of zippers and I am started to conquer that fear! I love the way this jewelry roll turned out. The ribbon across holds rings or hook earrings too. Then there are 2 zippered pouches for whatever else! It was surprisingly easy to make and fun. The longest part is cutting all the fabric and interfacing.

Chapstick & Hand Sanitizer Holders
I found the coolest Neoprene fabric and bought some with a coupon. My friend had a chapstick holder made like this, a freebie from a bank. I thought I'd give it a try. I think they turned out pretty cute. Another friend has a hand sanitizer holder similar to this one too. What a fun combo! And they can be attached to anything!

Wet Bag
I sometimes have a pile of wash cloths and dish towels in the kitchen that I randomly forget to take upstairs to the laundry room, and why would I make a special trip up there just to do that? :)
So...enter the kitchen wet bag! Or, just a wet bag if you don't want it in the kitchen. When I made it I hadn't attached a strap but wanted it to hang somewhere since I don't need anything else on the counter! So that was added later. I sewed it on the bag and then used velcro on the front so I could hang it on a drawer handle. I already have one person who would like one for swimsuits this summer! A great idea. I also think they'd be handy in a diaper bag for wet or soiled clothes, no more using plastic bags! Go green!
Tag Blanket
I decided I needed another option for baby gifts so I started making tag blankets. So easy and it's fun to use such a variety of ribbon and colors! I have a lot of friends having babies right now and these are so soft and sweet.

Bed Buddy
Again, from my "One Yard Wonders", a Bed Buddy! My mom saw this in the book and said she'd like to have one so I made it for her birthday coming up. I think it turned out pretty cute and it was fairly easy to make!

Business Card Holder
I found a tutorial for a business card holder and it was so easy! It can be used for so much more than that. Gift cards, credit cards, etc. I showed it to my family over the holidays and my aunt pulled out one from Vera Bradley-it was made just the same! The only difference was the name!
