Computer-Free moments :: Pencil Roll

I have started having one 'computer free day' a week. Sunday. It has really helped keep creative, keep focused, and also keep my priorities straight (I'm a bit of a blog addict on the weekends!) 
One unexpected bonus, is that I have more time to be creative away from a computer! One of my latest projects I created for a little friends 2nd birthday, is this pencil roll. Not a new concept to all you crafters, but I wanted to make it self-contained with paper for on-the-go use. 


I based it on this pattern but preferred a fabric version, so this is what I came up with: 
(you'll have to excuse the tacked on velcro tab...machine chucked it in late at night!!)
It's kind of the 'girl' version to the car caddy I made earlier this year! So into it, I want to make another one now!

How do you manage your time and help curb the blogging addiction? (I have a sneaking suspicion I'm not the only one... :)
