Happy Little Pouch Hop

It suddenly dawned on me this morning that Christmas is exactly two months from tomorrow. Hard to believe, I know. I have a to-do list that I've been working on -- more on that tomorrow -- and I'm starting to add a few more items to it now that I have Christmas presents on the brain. When Elaine asked me to contribute a post for the Happy Little Pouch Hop, I figured that this was a great way to get started on a pouch or two for holiday gifting.

Pouches are such a great quick finish. There are so many different variations out there, and all of them are wonderful for last minute gifts. Emily and Elaine have put together a great list of bloggers who will be sharing tutorials, pattern reviews, and plenty of eye candy. Take a look...
