Last night, I went to my first ever Wine & Canvas event, and I had a blast. It wasn't my first ever attempt at painting (I used to be an art student), but I realized last night that I hadn't painted in probably 11 years. The product of my night is this painting. I had fun and I'm proud of the painting that resulted.

Yoga mat (2/25 in 2012)
My next project was another that arose from necessity. I have a yoga mat that I want to start using for a class that my work is offering, but I had no way to carry it. I did, however, have tons of fabric. So I made this yoga mat bag. The pattern is mine, and chock full of errors, but it serves it purpose. At least the next time I make one, I will know what NOT to do.

TARDIS inspired wallet (1/25 in 2012)
I started off my new crafting mind-set with something I was in dire need of-- a wallet. I had been looking for a wallet that I like that also suited my age for ages now, but I never found one I liked. Then, I came across this tutorial (which is crazy easy to follow) by Modest Maven. I was inspired. I decided to take one of my favorite shows (Doctor Who) and translate it into a wallet without being obvious. The result is this:
This is the first time that I undertook something more complicated in construction that just sewing a couple pieces of fabric together. And, I know it's not perfect, but I am intensely proud of it. And I LOVE using it!
