Crazylikefox1, birthday gifts

I joined an instagram exchange that my friend Raquel organized. Not sure why she called it crazy like fox. But I find myself collecting foxy things. I already shared what I made for Libby and what she made for me. Now other gifts are coming in.P1070445Not from the group, from my DIL Becky, button cupcakes – and they tasted very good as well.P1070388The gifts started rolling in. We had to list our likes and I said jewel-tones. Btw, I have already worn the necklace and a bracelet that is in the box.P1070390Isn’t this the cutest use of a yoyo to decorate a box?P1070411So the color theme may look familiar, this project holder is incredible, I know I could put my iPad in there. Also, love the owl needle keepers. I’m already using them.P1070459How thoughtful, after making the bag, Raquel gave me the leftover fabric.P1070460Of course the inside is not only lined, it has a zipper pocket. I really appreciate the leather label, what a great idea.

Yes there are more, but I am leaving them for another post.

#Crazylikefox 1 instagram exchange.

My friend Raquel started an instagram birthday exchange called Crazy like Fox.  So many people signed up she opened two groups. The idea is that one person per month has her birthday and everyone makes her something. Well, turns out that we are missing months and have 2 per month.  We didn’t have anyone for January but both Libby and I are February birthdays.  We posted our likes and dislikes and got to work on something creative. Libby is in my quilting guild, so we know each other, most of the others are completely new to me.P1060667I Libby likes red, and people were making her favorite requests already, so I figured, another project bag is always good. P1060683I used ByAnnie soft and stable. Which I had also used on my holiday gift exchange. I LOVE this product, can’t sing enough of it’s praises.P1060689This is the first time I’ve assembled a bag this way, don’t know if it’s any better,  but it worked.P1060693The outer pockets have room to store.P1060699For example, a knitting project.P1060701Empty it stands well on it’s own and is very light.P1070031Of course I added other goodies in the bag, many items from Daiso Japan. True, most things only cost $1.50 there, but oh how quickly they add up!

I have received my gift from Libby already, but that is for another post.
