Pencil roll-ups and SURPRISE coming soon...

I recently made these pencil roll-ups for my kids and then I made one for myself but instead of putting pencils in it, I use it for my crochet hooks! (and there is a pocket for my scissors too).
They are so quick and easy to make and make great gifts.


This is mine, for my crochet hooks.

handy huh?


I made some gifts for some family and friends last week...and so enjoyed it!
I even enjoyed the packaging I made for the gifts...




Want to know what was inside?

you will have to find out tomorrow!
I have a special surprise and announcement to make tomorrow (and no, I am not pregnant!)
Come back..here is a clue in the meantime...

Can't wait for the reveal...have a great day, fondly, Roberta

Hi Bonnie!
Your roll ups are great. I really like the satiny fabric you've got on the end!
Looking forward to seeing what you've got in the sacks! So, "I'll be baaack."

Love your pencil roll-ups. So cute, and I agree, ideal gifts! Lovely for stocking fillers! I'm thinking paint brushes too! Thanks for sharing. Love your packaging you did for your friends' gifts - isn't the packaging just as much fun as making the gifts!? Love that!
Looking forward to tomorrow!!
