Look at what I made!

For Christmas this past year I got a sewing machine from my parents and let me tell you, I LOVE IT!! Within the first 4 days of receiving it, I made Ellie a dress (that was a little ambitious of me and required several late nights!). After that very difficult experience (I have VERY limited sewing experience and could hardly make sense of the pattern lingo), I decided to do something a little easier, so I made a skirt! That was quick and easy and successful and Ellie actually wears it and likes it! YAY! Since then, I've hemmed some pants and fixed some things here and there.

Just the other day I decided I needed a small project that didn't require I buy anything (I have some scraps from the dress and skirt I made). And so, this is what I made:
Can you guess what it is?
It's a....
Crayon roll!
It's a cute little case for Ellie's crayons! And the best part...she likes it! :)
Feeling inspired? Here's the link with directions on how to make it!

Nice work! I bet she loves it, and how convenient to take places with you :) Love the fabric choice.

by the way -- what kind of camera do you guys use?

Thanks! Our camera is a Nikon D70. We LOVE it! We just recently got a new lens with REALLY low Aperture which I think makes everything look really cool! The lens is a Nikon DX AF-S NIKKOR 35mm 1:1.8G ( I don't really know what part of that long title is actually helpful information). I saw pics of your new Nikon!! VERY COOL!

Thanks, for sharing the camera info :) Ours is a bridge camera and we're enjoying it very much right now! I just saw the fun focus on these photos so I thought I'd ask!
