// Between the lines //

To be honest - Halloween hasn't really been on top of my priority list. It used to be our favorite event of the year. We'd put days (weeks) of preparation in it. But not anymore. A lack of exposure, I guess, ...
Anyway, there must be something left, though, as I came up with this - true: totally miminimalist - craft yesterday. I can't remember what triggered it. Was it one of the girls rolling their eyes when being told to clean up their rooms?  Or was...

It's Fall. That's what the calendar says.
And even though it's probably about time to shed those summer bracelets, today, I'm going to show you some bracelets we've enjoyed making and wearing this Summer: four strand round braided bracelets.
You're probably familiar with the leather version of these bracelets - and that's actually how I got started. But one night I ran out of leather lace and I decided to give it a try with Scoobie Doo strands - to much approval from my girls the next morning...

A few more purses I made over Summer.
Just the right size to hold a phone, keys and some money.
Instructions can be found here.

Inspired by the famous and oh-so-gorgeous Building Block Bags and with the help of this tutorial.
This is the second one I made - I made this one slightly bigger than the first one.
One for every occasion...
