I decided to do some sewing this week end after removing some seasonal knot bags out of my Etsy shop.  I decided I needed to add some more embroidered knot bags.  The bag on the left is one I am sending to a knitting podcaster for review.  It will be a way to get some exposure for my bags :).  After she has reviewed it, I will put a link on my blog to her podcast :).  I have another one embroidered but not sewn up yet and two more to be embroidered.  The embroidered bags take  longer to make due to the embroidery so they are a little more expensive.

I’m working on a comfort shawl for a friend who lost her companion this week.  Loss is so hard :(.

The weather here has finally hit WINTER, ugh.  We are suppose to be around -4 tonight but we are having high winds and they said that would make the wind chill between -20 and -30.  But at least it will only be for tonight and tomorrow morning, then the winds die down and we will warm up just a bit.  We will have snow on Monday and Tuesday and then we will warm back up into the 20’s in the day and teens at night :).  Is it Spring yet?

I did get this sewn up today :).  Cute fabric with the some of the original Star Wars characters, Darth Vader, R2D2, C3PO, and Luke Skywalker.

I have two of the Winter series bags cut out, one is a medium size and the other a large.  Might get one sewn up tomorrow, but it might be next week before I get them done.

I didn’t finish the knitted hat yesterday, but very close and it will be finished for sure today :).  I will get a picture of it put up tomorrow because I intend to give it to the recipient Sunday. 🙂

Winter storm watch today, and about 5 to 8 inches of snow expected overnight they said.  Winter appears to be here.  Is it Spring yet?

Christmas Ivy Bag

This is the last Holiday bag I have planned to sew for this season, tho I do enjoy all the beautiful Holiday fabrics.  I do have another Star Wars bag cut out and a Winter bag cut out.  I will be adding a Winter bag collection to  my Etsy shop after the Star Wars bag is finished. 🙂  Some of those will be larger bags like the Cowboy bag in the previous post.  They will be large enough for a good sized shawl and perhaps a sweater.

I’m close to finishing the knitted hat I’m working on for my friend’s husband.  I’ll post a picture of it when it is done,  maybe tomorrow. 🙂

Speaking of tomorrow, we are suppose to have a mixture of snow and rain tomorrow, turning into just snow in the evening and overnight.  Projections for amounts are around 3 inches or more, depending on how warm the ground is and how much of it melts.  I knew it had to come, but I’m never ready for snow :P.

Cowboys Bag 3 sizes

I got the large Cowboys bag made for my son in law.  I took a picture of all three sizes so you could see the differences between them.  The larger bag takes more fabric (3/4 of a yard of main fabric and same for liner), but is a little easier to sew around the handles so I guess it’s a trade off.  🙂  If you click on the picture it will enlarge in another window.

We had some really bad Thunderstorms through last night.  High winds and tornado warnings.  They said someone sighted a tornado touch down in one of the surrounding towns but we didn’t have one here thank goodness.  I didn’t hear of anyone getting hurt, but there were branches blown off trees in the road and peoples trash cans in the roads.  The rains stopped this morning sometime but the winds didn’t die down until about 6pm.  I’m ready for some sun now ;P.

The 2nd hat I’m knitting out of the polypay is coming along.  The first one (that I forgot to get a picture of 😦 ) was 1×1 rib, this one is a 2×2 rib.  Playing to see what looks best.  I’m hoping “crosses fingers” to have it done by Saturday evening.
