One for Jordy.

As nephews go, my sisters' boy Jordy rates up there with the cutest :) He has the biggest, most gorgeous eyes framed with the longest eyelashes...I really don't know how his parents ever say the word no to him :)

Jordy has a special place in my heart, that's for sure. For part of his birthday gift last year, I set about making him a pencil roll.

It was going really well...the colours were great, I found a matching hair elastic for the closure, I loved the fabrics...until I got up to the binding bit. I have some issues with binding. So when the binding didn't look right, I re-did it. And re-did it again. And again....until the project was thrown into my too-hard basket for an extended stay.

Having worked through some of my binding issues lately :) and with Jordy's birthday coming up, I decided to pull this project out and have another go.

Now, either my binding technique has improved, or I've relaxed my perfection criteria, or I just got lucky LOL, because the binding went on very easily...and on the first attempt :) Gotta love that!

Wooohoooo...my UFO pile is getting smaller!

Have a great Saturday.
