hard to keep a secret

Whew.  Kept my lips sealed for over two months about this secret project.  And that was hard to do, I'm telling you!  Especially because I was so pleased with how my test version came out.

I gave this to Rebecca to use for her homework (Kindergarteners have a lot of coloring-in and picture-drawing to do), and every single time she uses it, she thanks me again for making it for her.  Seriously.  Since January, she has appreciated and used it nearly every single day, and I think that's just amazing.

Created entirely from my stash and scraps.  Gotta love that.

Even the button was from my button jar, and she had a fun time picking out her favorite. 

It's a fantastic pattern, as usual, and I'm so glad it can finally come out of hiding.  Now to go post it over on Flickr!

I really like it - especially how you have the different colors for different pencils. And that is so sweet that Rebecca uses and appreciates it!

January!!! WOW, you are good at keeping secrets! I'm thinking about making one of these for Ethan and one of your crayon/coloring book bag for Isaak. I think they would love them.

Love the matching fabric color to each pencil. Helps to keep the little carrier all tidy and in order. You're so smart!
