As much fun as I had wandering around the markets, I had in fact gone with a purpose in mind.
You see, now that I have a sewing machine again, this is a great place to go to find fabric! Would you like to know more?
Today’s Table – Dreambird
I have been a busy little beaver finishing off my massive rainbow shawl just in time for it to get too hot to wear it!
We took it with us on our picnic last week so that Himself could take some photos for me. Would you like to know more?
So much has been going on!
First and foremost it must finally be Summer! Windows have begun sprouting school satchels, which means that school is over and someone has passed their exams!
We had a night celebrating a little while ago, Would you like to know more?
The Gnome Swap
To go with the posts I’ve already shown you of what I was sending to my Swapee (the stitch markers and the scarf) here’s what else I bundled up and posted off on Monday.
First there was a brooch which I designed and hand sewed.
Then there was the knitting kit bag
Full of helpful items. (yarn needles, tape measure, scissors, etc)
With the matching Project Bag.
Full of yarn,
and fully lined.
Along with some other cute bits and pieces that had been indicated, it all got wrapped up and posted off!
I hope they like it! *excited*
Project Bag
Every now and then, for no reason whatsoever, I like to give myself a challenge! Most recently it came in the guise of a project bag in the shape of a cube. I knew exactly how I wanted it to look, and I set about coming up with a design and pattern.
There was some sketching, and lots of paper got cut up and then sticky taped back together, all in the name of inventing.
I didn’t get any photos of that though.
I did get photos of the cute fabric once it arrived via the magic of the internet!
Himself was most perplexed about the shapes I was cutting out until he saw the whole lot together!
Obviously, there was also enough fabric left over for a notions pouch as well!
And here it is in action, on the street!
My yarn is nestled in there all cozy and warm and safe from … what ever may feel like attacking yarn really.
Let’s go with “cats”.
