Inspiration in the form of a pink penguin

Well actually no real pink penguins were involved in this creative process only a new blog I found called Pink Penguin. I can't remember how I came across this blog but I am so glad I did. This fabric basket tutorial got my juices flowing and I am so grateful. After I first saw these I spent a few nights thinking up all the great things I could do with these and then finally yesterday I just had to take a little time and get started. You can click the link above to go straight to the tutorial for how to make one. I altered her tutorial somewhat because I wanted to make something that would be fairly quick and easy to make. Here is what I came up with.

For my first try I used up the rest of the Easter fabric I had left over from my other Easter Basket project. I thought this size of basket would be really cute for Easter too. I am not sure even what size this one that I made is. I just cut fabric and followed the general instructions in the tutorial for how to put it together. It turned out kind of small but is actually perfect for a little basket to put on my desk to hold cards like these Easter cards I just made. Fun idea isn't it. Thanks a million Pink Penguin for helping me out of my creative slump.
