Crafting Cube

Sew...when you sew, do you find that everything you make must have a purpose; a place to call home when it's complete? For a long time, that was how I thought of all my projects. Recently, though, I have started making things just because I enjoy them. (Of course, it could also be that it helps me procrastinate from completing other things that I'm not enjoying. No, never! Not me! Have we talked about taxes? Anyhow, I digress.) They have no specific purpose or recipient in mind. One such item is my Crafting Cube.

As is typical of crafting, I saw someone else make one, loved the look and had to get one for myself. I liked the original version so much that I copied it down to the fabrics. The project was so fun, in fact, that I made one for me and one for...well, I haven't figured that out, yet. Currently, it's in a pile with several recently made, purposeless bags. :)

Here's how they look.

I had a lot of fun coordinating colors, getting my pockets all matchy-matchy. The cube is relatively small, but it holds all of the notions that I use regularly, two rings of bobbins, my large magnetic pin holder and even some of the things that don't get used so often. With four pockets, lots of slots and a wide open center, this little thing goes a long way. Best yet, the handles make it easily portable.

I love all sorts of crafts. Hmm, maybe I should keep the second one for myself and use it for all my stamping odds and ends. Maybe the second one has a purpose after all!
