Mail Organizer

I'm not sure how I initially bumped into this tutorial.  I have a habit of checking out other bloggers "followed" blogs if the title of the post or picture shown catches my eye.  I click and click so many times, not sure where I found this one to begin with.

First I had found this post and fell in love with it.  I love it made out of Verna.  Bonus for me, the tutorial was linked.  I wasn't a follower of Noodlehead but I am now!  Making one of these was on my mind for about 2 weeks.  I finally broke down and bought the canvas and set to get it done yesterday afternoon.  Took me less than 30 minutes to complete (not including the cutting of fabric and interfacing).  I eliminated the labels and ribbon from my pockets.  Reasons being that I couldn't find the right label holders and my b/w polka dotted ribbon didn't have much left on the spool.  I think it looks just fine without them.

I hung it in our entry way off the front door.  Not sure why I did that because I carry the mail in from my car and the garage is attached to the kitchen.  Regardless, it's cute!  It may stay empty forever.  Just brings a nice pop of color to my entry way.  I have a feeling I'll be making more as gifts once some of family sees it. 

One project down, 2 more to do before Punkie comes home on Friday.  I'm on a roll!

Enjoy your day!
