I was looking for a nice bag

to carry my knitting with me.

I've seen these bags on a lot of blogs

and decided to try and make one.

This is what I came up with using some fabric I had 

laying around.

if I need a punch of color I just a add a flower

or scarf

or pin

oh the possibilities. 

I lined it w/ a cotton fabric and added a few 

pockets on the inside for needles/small scissors / etc...

With a neutral color like this I can add any color

 and it goes well with it.

Adding Greens

Adding some greens helps to soften 

and bring in warmth to a space.

 

a splash here

and there.

  

So looking forward to warmer spring weather
when the grass is green, the leaves on the trees
 start to bud and I can sit on my patio for my morning cup
of coffee and listen to the birds singing in the trees,and
enjoy the outdoors again.

love and blessing!

So BIG and COMFY!!

and I think so inviting,

 So much can be done 

with a neutral palette.

I say this allows me to be creative.

 Add color according to the seasons.

Storage

Storage in the bathroom.

 finding these glass containers

and putting them to use in the bathroom.

My husband does not have to ask where are the cotton balls

 or the bath salts, lol which he never uses

(found the little white cup at a local thrift store)

it was perfect for this

how about the q-tips

towels and wash rags

keeping everything in the open keeps me organized 

and allows him to find things. (most of the time)

until I wear it again and the process

starts all over.
