A while back, I bought a sampling of fabrics:  one of Alicia's Passamentarie Packs.  I really didn't have many little bits of fabric that I could play with, but I wanted to make some cute little... somethings... (anything cute and little would do) to play with patchwork and linings and, well, just sewing.  I made a whole group of the cute little tissue holders like the ones I've seen on Flickr.  I had so much fun playing with the different bits of fabric and putting together little combos!

They are all lined in simple, plain white cotton.  I have more fabric from the Passamentarie Pack to play with... but of course, now I feel like I have to buy more fabric to supplement the patches I already have!  My favorite one is sweet, purple, and flowery.  I've been carrying it around in my purse and wishing I was a little more sneezy.  The time will come when I will be able to whip it out, and everyone around me will think, "wow, what a cute tissue holder!  Pretty and practical.  She must really have it together!"  Or something to that effect. 

Also, and I almost didn't blog this, but here it is:  I found my first gray hair:

Do you see that thing?  For the love.
