my creative space {a portable solution}

I would consider myself an opportunistic person.  I seem to find a way of multi-tasking,  and prepare for an opportunity to sneak in some "me time" when the chance arises. I'm the one who brings a book to the doctors waiting room, and loves to do a spot of craft whilst out and about.

Which brings me to my dilemma.  The portable craft!

You see, since blogging and my keen interest to learn more crafts, I tag along to a few crafty groups, and I'm always taking a craft along with me when we hit the road for day trips or travelling back to the country to visit family.  But the day of cramming a craft in my hand bag came to a dramatic realisation when the other day.....I packed a craft in a plastic bag.  Oh the Horror!

So when I spotted this little beauty-case at a country thrift store for the bargin price of 50 cents, I snapped it up, with a purpose in mind.

I lined the lid, sewing on some cute little pockets.  A felt strip for keeping pins and needles handy.  A ribbon to tie up my measuring tape and a handy little slip for a pen or marker.

I covered a small yoghurt container in matching fabric just using craft spray glue, and found bits and pieces like a little rectangle wicker basket for storing handy bits and bobs.

I filled it with various goodies....scissors, threads, tape, pins, fabric, notebook, clips, buttons, pen, fabric marker and more.

This Blue Crafty Bag, is now ready for portable craft adventures.
