The Problem With Putting My Lips On
January 31, 2008
I’m so happy that I have finally accomplished something. FINALLY. I have been meaning to make myself a pouch for a very long time. Especially after I bought the cutest owl fabric. I currently use a pouch to organize my medication, lipstick, tums, bandaids, wet wipes, tissues, etc. You would think using a pouch would keep me organized by I feel like every other day I have to reorganize my purse because I can’t get it to zip up. I thought the solution was a bigger pouch but yesterday, I realized the problem was my lipstick. Every morning on my way to work, I dig through my pouch to pull out my lipliner, lipstick, and gloss. And I’m doing this at various stoplights on my way to work. The problem is that I only have 10 to 15 to 30 seconds at a time so I never put the stuff back in the pouch, I just drop it in my purse. And in the course of digging for my lip products, everything spills out of the pouch. I realized that I needed a separate pouch just for lip accessories.
Here it is. It’s 4 x 7 inches and flat (no box bottom). Fits my lip accessories perfectly. The ironic thing is that this morning I put on my lips before I left the house. It figures that once I have the essential tool to keep my purse organized, I will not need it as much as I did before. But if that’s the case, at least the adorable fabric makes me happy!
I am also mulling over a new pouch design for the rest of my accessories. (To be made in matching owl fabric, but a different colorway.)

About Me
Welcome to my spot on the web where I talk about needlework, crafts, and [many] other random things.
A few tidbits about me: I met my husband in college, flirting over tuba letters in the Penn Band. Our dog, CJ, and our cat, Sabrina, round out our family. I'm a sewist, knitter and needlepointer, and an occasional scrapbooker. I love organizing, reading, making jewelry, and hiking. A Chicago girl at heart, I am an avid follower the Cubs, Bears, and Blackhawks.

Very pretty!
I have that same problem. I put my make-up on in the bathroom but my lip stick is always in my purse or vice versa.
