Clutch Purse Stocking Stuffers


I found this great little clutch purse tutorial from u-handbag (thanks guys!), and thought I'd try a couple different patterns myself, with some pretty fabric we got in Japan this summer. They turned out great and I gave them to Nico's sisters as stocking stuffers this year. Try for yourself, tutorial here.

The Vinyl Wall




Here's a few more. We are getting quite the collection on our dining room wall. They actually look pretty cool as a set I think. Way to go Nicolas!

Recycling Vinyl


So Nico had the idea of making clocks out of old vinyl, and we have been scavenging through piles at the Oxfam and digging out the interesting ones. Every once in a while we find colored ones. Joy!
