Welcome to Running With Rocket, my rambling journal of treasures I make as well as a place to dump all my flower photos.
About me: I love to sew and craft and currently, I have taken over two and a half rooms in my house in order to play. I also live on an airpark. When we want to go flying, we roll open the hangar doors and pull the plane out. The runway is at the edge of my backyard. Which I also like to play in. I live on an acre where I garden - both flowers and the edible things. The blog has turned out to be a surprisingly good place to put all those flower photos.
If you want to you can follow me on Pinterest, Twitter and/or look at my May Flowers or even follow this blog but it's not necessary. I do invite you to look around my blog.
I have an especial fondness for Sew Mama Sew as they are from my neck of the woods near Portland, Oregon. I absolutely adore all the effort they put into the sewing community. Please take time to look at all the other giveaways that have linked up this year.
To win my boxy pouch, which is open to all sew-ers, please answer my question:
What would you fill this pouch with?
Giveaway open May 12 - May 16, 2014 Friday evening. Open worldwide.
Salmiakki in all forms and variations but especially with that Fazer chocoalte with the salmiakki filling. And then well maybe scraps, 2,5 inch squares not bigger ..

ReplyDeleteThe color is PERFECT for me. I love it.
I don't plan my vacations around fabric stores, but I do seek them out wherever I am. And now that I have started weaving also, I look for places to buy cool yarns also. I have tossed out clothes to take home fabrics from Mexico. But then I pack with that in mind. Ha ha.
The bestest answer so far!

ReplyDeleteEPP supplies and CHOCOLATE!
ReplyDeleteA knitting or crocheting project. My cat destroys them. Also, he ate a big enough piece of ribbon last year that I had to take him to the vet because they were worried about obstruction, so I took his yarn away, which makes him go after mine more. Silly cat!
ReplyDeletejhunsberger (at) gmail (dot) com

ReplyDeleteI'd love to use this for my son's Nintendo DS, games and power cord!
I love to keep bags like this inside by purse to keep everything inside organized and it also makes it easier to change purses frequently.

ReplyDeleteThis pouch would be great for carrying all jewellery bits and pieces when I work on a project at my kids' after school activities. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bag! I'd probably fill it with all my little sewing essentials...and candy!
ReplyDeleteLovely box pouch, it looks perfect for crochet - I learnt from a little old lady at church last year and promptly put my little piece down "somewhere safe" and can't find it ! I got inspired to do some more, but need to (a) find the hook and (b) keep it somewhere safe in future! X
ReplyDeleteI have a boxy pouch on the shelves in my sewing room, it blends in, looks normal everyone thinks it's full of scraps, secretly though it's my hidden stash of chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI think I would put scraps in this one, i'm saving up for a rainbow quilt. All my 5" ish scraps are going in a placcy bag, they would love to upgrade!
I like how you filled it with food :) I might do the same with snacks for long trips. It'd be a good way to keep them separate from everything else in my backpack :)
ReplyDeleteChocolate is a good start, but I'd probably fill it with fabric bits, current projects or i-pod like things.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric print of the bag and would use it to hold my hand sewing notions for by my chair in lounge
ReplyDeleteI have attempted to make this bag.. fail! Would love to win this so I have a real life example of a job well done.. Love it! Then I would fill it with travel supplies and pop it in a suitcase.
ReplyDeleteI would use this for a small traveling project pouch. It looks like it is the right size. (from here anyway) =)
ReplyDeleteI would use it to hide my chocolate from my boys so I can actually have some when I am in the mood. They always seem to find my hiding spots :)

ReplyDeleteglazefamily3 AT gmail.com
I would use it to hide my chocolate stash in the sewing room. Hubby would never think to look in there. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI am a very novice sewer - couldn't quite make this on my own yet, but an expert knitter. So I would obviously fill it with knitting - and love it very much!
ReplyDeleteI would make this my binding bag!! I am currently using an ugly little bucket.
ReplyDeletePretty! I'd probably use it for odd and ends in my sewing room - and maybe a little chocolate stash too!
ReplyDeleteI would fill it with my sewing supplies and us it when I am waiting in like to get the kids from school.
ReplyDeletestorybookfelts at gmail dot com
I would fill it with all of the random things in my purse :)
ReplyDeleteMakeup
ReplyDeleteI would probably fill it with larabars like you did for the picture. I get grossed out when they get all smashed up in my purse
ReplyDeleteI was thinking it would be prefect to keep in my vanity case for when I travel!
ReplyDeleteWhat you have in there looks pretty yummy, but I would probably use it for some sewing supplies. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pouch! I would fill it with my hexi project.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really nice bag. The larabars are very tempting. I prefer the cashew cookie flavor, though. I think I would fill the bag with sewing supplies, though. And maybe a larabar or two!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric! I think it would wind up as a travel bag to pack my small items in.
ReplyDeleteI would love to use this bag when traveling. It looks like the perfect size to put my small items in that I don't want to get misplaced :)
ReplyDeleteI need a bigger pouch to keep my epp project in. This would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pouch. My husband has been doing a lot of traveling lately, and I think this would be great for storing all of his toiletries.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!!
I love how the majority of you sew-ers are game for hiding chocolate in this bag.
ReplyDeleteI love flowers too! I'm currently making origami flower earrings for my shop so I'll probably be filling the pouch with little colorful paper florets!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway... you've got a new follower!
Love this boxy pouch! I would fill it with my sewing essentials for sewing days away from home - snips, thread, rotary cutter, seam ripper, washi tape, etc.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'd fill it with a knitting project! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be something I need to get out all the time so I can use it - no pint for something so pretty languishing on a shelf. Perhaps all my loyalty cards that are currently preventing my purse from actually closing! Thanks for the lovely prize
ReplyDeletei would consider giving it to my daughter. she's a year & a half old & really into putting things into containers & taking them out again. she's just about old enough to start learning about zippers too. this could be really fun for her!
ReplyDeleteI would use it for my portable hexie project. The zipper broke on the one I currently use and I need to find something else. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I'd use it as a new contact/travel case, or for knitting/crochet supplies
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great place to store seeds. I'll be doing a lot of to and froing from home to school farm, and my seeds need a nice place to live while they travel.
ReplyDeleteI would fill it with binder clips for quilting! I have both sizes so this would fit them all! It takes a lot of wonder clips for king size quilts! What a great life you have flying around! I love planting and gardening too! Craftsy is a great place for classes and supplies!
ReplyDeleteI would fill it with my English paper piecing hexagon supplies! I keep thread, scissors, and prepped hexagons around to work on when I'm waiting for stuff. This would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteMy current most special knitting project.
ReplyDeleteThis pouch looks perfect for traveling. One always needs so many little bags for organizing when traveling these days: a bag for snacks, a bag for toys, a bag for hand gel, wipes, tissues and hankies, a bag for books, and a bag for holding your hand sewing project. This pouch would definitely see a lot of use at my house!
ReplyDeleteAqua is one of my perennial favorite colors and I love discovering new textiles while traveling... I would use this dear pouch as a travel makeup bag. Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletetotally love the pouch and would fill it with sewing notions, when I go to my guild meeting bi-monthly
ReplyDeleteMAKEUP!! i'm always on the lookout for a smallish bag to pack with makeup for when i'm travelling instead of having to lug around my entire collection when we all know that only 10% of our makeup gets used really!
ReplyDeleteI think this boxy pouch would be fantastic for make up, or fabrics scraps - definitely not at the same time! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteToiletries when traveling. Love the color!
ReplyDeleteI'd be tempted to use it for make up but it is too nice to get all make-uppy. So I think it would be destined for my desk at work to keep my desktop treasures in and enjoy looking at it and telling anyone who asks how I came by it.
ReplyDeleteLove this pouch! I would fill it with all my markers and pens or maybe all my miscellaneous purse stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great for my toiletteries! julia(dot)glotova(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI would fill it with the chargers for my iPhone, camera, and Kindle. Great bag. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'd stuff it with baby stuff that needed to be toted around- cloth diapers, eipes, creams and all that jazz.
ReplyDeleteAchristie87 at gmail dot com
I would fill it with yarn and needles.
ReplyDeleteSome years ago I took my mother to a fabric-shopping spree in Sweden, where there is an aerea with lots of fabric outlets. We had 6 wonderful and very funny days! It was a great trip.

ReplyDeleteI would fill the bag with sewing machine feet, needles, bobbins and all the other goodness that comes with a sewing machine
ReplyDeleteI would fill it with lipgloss (you can never have enough shades), jewelry or chocolate (which you can also never have enough of!). Living by the runway - my husband is sooo jealous (he's always wanted to fly). Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI love larabars also!
ReplyDeleteI would use it as an appliqué project bag
ReplyDeleteI would probably use the cute bag for on-the-go projects like little hand sewing or small knitting/crochet (scarves).
ReplyDeleteThanks!
First I thought for my sewing notions, but after a comment I saw about snack to in the sewing area I thought that that's even a better idea (hopefully t rest of the family will think they are just sewing notions, so they will keep away from it ;) )
ReplyDeleteWe just rescued a young dog and she is curious about everything. I think I would use this pouch to hold things I want to have nearby and don't want to have chewed or carried away.
ReplyDeleteI'd fill it with my make-up items.
ReplyDeleteannabell_lee_dk (at) yahoo (dot) com
I have been wanting to do a set of pouches to hold small things in my suitcase to make them easier to find. Love the blue colors of yours. Cindy bluemoonstencils@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway,
Jacqueline in Pitt Meadows
I would probably use that as a travel or makeup bag!
ReplyDeleteGreat color selection for the pouch. I would fill the pouch with the new makeup I plan on buying myself in June.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I think I would fill it with whatever I was taking with me to work on, little things. Like right now I'm working on a tiny cross stitch so I think this would work!
ReplyDeleteSelvages! I don't have a place for them now.
ReplyDeletePerfectt idea!
DeleteSmall hand embroidery or English Paper piecing projects so I could take them with me when I know I am going to be waiting somewhere. Stitching is the one sure thing to make waiting time shorter.
ReplyDeleteI'd put some nice tea sachets, coffee singles, creamers and stevia. you never know when the need for caffeine or a hot cup of tea will arise. I love the Summerville interior!
ReplyDeleteI would use it for my embroidery thread!
ReplyDeleteI'd put my sewing notions in there.. I think. Ha ha.

I adore that Finn fabric!! Thank you for the great giveaway. I would fill it with my mini charms I use for sewing hexies!!
ReplyDeletei don't know what to fill it with, but now larabars are in my mind all day long... thanks ;-)
ReplyDeleteI believe we all just did a major plug for Lara Bars
DeleteI love little pouches for all of my small hand sewing projects!
ReplyDeleteI love this fabric! I travel a lot and I like to segregate items in my bag into smaller pouches, so I would probably fill it with socks or undergarments or charging cables for all of my various devices and then throw it in my suitcase. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy secret chocolate stash? crochet hooks? the garage opener…. these are the top 3 things :)
ReplyDeleteWell...seems to make perfect sense to me to throw the garage door opener in too.
Delete:-)
I would probably put some kind of sewing notions in it. It is beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteOh, this would be perfect for my sewing tote. I take it with me places, but its just a big tote so my tools get lost at the bottom. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't ever considered it, but seeing the Lara Bars in there leads me to think I'd use it to carry snacks especially when we're at the beach. Thanks for the chance! :)
ReplyDeleteI would fill this with my favorite sewing notions
ReplyDeletedetroitgirl77 AT gmail DOT com
My daughter's growing collection of cosmetics
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors. It eould be used as a travel bag for my personals.
ReplyDeleteI love those fabrics. I would fill it with sewing notions that are small and get lost in the shuffle on the sewing table, small nips, tape measure, sharpies, seam ripper,etc. Thanks for the chance to win. Jackie jackie.vernon@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteOooooh I would fill it with whatever project I was traveling with..crochet things...or to keep all my sewing things close by when here & there in the house! Looove it!
ReplyDeleteLove the chocolate idea! I'd fill it with my notions for when I go to sew ins. Everything will be handy!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to travel I would fill it with those travel necessities I didn't want to put in checked bags and that weren't required to be in a baggie! If I were going to a deadly meeting, I would fill it with chocolate, and I'd share it with the others who were bored too. Otherwise I'd keep my drawing tools, pens, and pencils there instead of scattered here, there and everywhere.
ReplyDeleteAbout vacations and fabric stores. We spent a weekend in London when we visited the UK and I managed a good part of the day at Liberty. In Java, I came home with an extra suitcase to carry the fabric we saw being woven across the alley from my sister-in-laws husband's family when we were there after his death. So, I think the answer is yes.
That is a beautiful little pouch! I'd use it for small sewing or knitting projects.
ReplyDeletei'd put snacks in it for daily traveling (they get lost in my diaper bag!)
