It just doesn't feel like I'm being very productive lately. I'm going to blame the time change. That sounds legit. And I'm not late on this post, I meant to delay it so you could fully enjoy yesterday's pattern release...yes, that
was totally planned.

| Guardians of the Galaxy quotes helped me keep laughing as I screwed up... |
I decided to give boxy pouches ONE MORE TRY, and even used my good fabric in hopes it would finally work out...well, it's closer. :| this one is at least usable, but my goal was a rectangle that was 12"x6.5"x3"....instead I ended up with a square-ish that is 8"x5"x6.5"...so I nailed one measurement! I don't even know where I'm messing up....I know I've made something similar in the past and it worked out, so I must be over complicating it. I've been known to do that...

| a nice shape, just not the one I wanted... |
I need to stop wasting time and get back to orders, and I have some more fun strike-offs to play with! I think this needs to become a tote bag....I'm running out of time so it will need to be a FAST tote!
If anyone has some extra time they can loan me, or maybe a time turner necklace, it would be really handy right about now...
