How-To: Wool Wallet from Old Blanket

Cz Upcraft

By Future Craft Collective

This project is reminiscent of the lanyard/vinyl sewing projects of my youth. Think summer camp or parks and rec craft programs. Remember how simple those projects were in their layout and design? This wool wallet is just as simple, but uses upcycled materials instead - no pesky plastic cord to contend with. This is a great project for teaching kids different basic stitches such as blanket stitch, running stitch, and whip stitch. And it makes a great party project too. For kids or grown-ups alike.

Around this time last year I started recapping our trip to Paris [1]. These sets of wooden building play sets of both London and Paris which we bought at Muji [2] still sit on the ledge of our dining room mirror. At some point I arranged the buildings by height and mixed up which city each belongs in. It's time we started planning where to escape to next year.

Today we stopped by the Bake It In A Cake [1] sale at the Cakespy [2] shop and managed to get some of the last cupcakes. Megan is a genius, see how lovely her cupcakes are? We got one chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting and a cherry pie baked inside, and a vanilla cupcake with maple frosting with a banana cream pie baked inside. We also ran into Mary from Shelterrific [3], hi Mary! [1] http://bakeitinacake.com/ [2] http://www.cakespy.com/ [3] http://www.shelterrific.com/

Taken during a brief window of sunshine today. This is our third string of pearls plant. I cannot keep plants alive and killed our first two. This one Scott takes care of and I try to not even look at it too closely for fear it will deflate and shrivel under my very gaze. I love how the pods are a little translucent along the seam.
