Sometimes you just have to sew something

It's official, I can't go too long without sewing something, it's not a compulsion it's a need I tell you. This little baby belongs to DD. I also raided her fabric bin and supplies. I thought a little sewing accessory might keep me happy for a little while and remembered an easy tutorial. Thank goodness for sharing bloggers. This is a thread catcher tutorial from Susan on Hanging on by a needle and thread. It's quick and easy and I think it has other uses as well because it's a cute box shape.

See, lots of room inside to stash a few treasures. I made these to stay here and I'll definitely be making more when I get home. I just need to find some nice buttons to sew the flaps down where the pins are.

I have a few smaller soft little thread catchers at home that I made from another tutorial I found last year at The Stitching Room. When stitching friends come around or I go out to stitch, they are perfect for putting in the sewing kit.

Here's something else that I had fun with. I had two little helpers. Isn't bread dough fun to play with?

Thanks to my blogger friend Lurline for sharing her recipe for this quick and easy bread. It was delicious! I did make a change and put it in a preheated very hot oven with a container of water to make steam. It helped to give it more oven spring.
