Labels and boxy pouches
I needed to get two baby quilts labeled so I could ship them to my sister. Someone she works with just had twin girls. I will hand stitch the labels on at lunchtime.
There is an young lady who is an intern on the highway/bridge job. We get along great and we learn a lot from each other. She is so smart! Yesterday the conversation was about what a roux was. She had no idea. I had brought creamed spinach to work and how I made it led to the roux explanation. Then we have a bunch of carpenter pencils in the cupboard and she asked if they would fit in a pencil sharpener. I said I have a sharpener for that type of pencil so she could sharpen them. Here is the sharpener. I had bought it at Home Depot for just a few dollars since I have carpenter pencils at home.
Now we have a nice handful of sharpened carpenter pencils
The intern and my conversations also lead to talking about my boxy pouches. I brought my bag of pouches this morning and gave her one for herself and one for her Mom. Here is one that I use for different things. Right now it has the thread and a scissors I need for stitching on the labels.
My SIL the other day said she would like another boxy pouch as she uses the one I gave her all the time! She also asked if I had any extra she would like to give one to her Mom. I found a Tyvek envelope and stuff 8 in there to mail to her. I still have 27 left out of the 100+ I made.

I have never seen a pencil sharpener like that so I just learned something new. I had only seen that type of pencil sharpened with a pocket knife when I was young.
Well you were ready for a lot of gift giving!
Oh Wow!! Terry uses those pencils all the time. I never knew they made a sharpener for them. He uses a pocket knife to sharpen them. I'm almost excited to go to Menards to see if they have them. One of the blogs I follow just posted that they will develop a pattern for a flat bag and I'm excited to get the pattern. I used one all the time to carry shoes to work. Wow, you made more than 100 of them? How big are yours? Cool!!

I've never even seen a carpenter pencil before but they look extremely cool, even if you need your special sharpener. How nice to be working with someone so agreeable.
