Twirly Mallory Big Box and Some Other Stuff

Wow.  18 votes for green, 10 for raspberry.  Green was my first choice but I was torn.  I couldn't commit to it so thought I would ask.  Glad people agreed with me.  Never fear.  Amelia spotted my bag and asked for one herself.  I showed her what "Twirl" charms I had left and she picked hers out.  I will be getting her bag done soon and hers will have the pink zipper.

I do love the size of this bag.  It's going to be a great bag to hold all our meds on vacation.  To clarify, we don't take medication on a daily basis but being at Disney (168 more days!) and without a car, I would feel better having everything we could ever need with us in the hotel room.  Tums, Advil, cough medicine... you get the picture.

What I DON'T like about this bag is the exposed raw edges on the inside.  I tried to figure out how to do it simply without a raw edge and I hurt my brain so I followed the pattern.  Made it easy on myself.




blogger turned my pic.  View of the lining.  Love that stripe
Even with it all "girly", my husband said it would fit his razor and toothbrush.  Guess he likes it.

Here are a couple Easter gifts I worked on. Aren't these chicks CUTE??  IF I have time, I need to make 3 more.  I made 2 and honestly, forgot about them.  And Easter is on Sunday.  Geez.  Time snuck up on me!  They are an "in the hoop" project.  If you have an embroidery arm attachment for your sewing machine, these are super quick to make.  There is one "error" in the machine steps but if you're standing there, you can stop the machine, cut the felt where you need to and continue.


I bought some fleece for myself and Punk to make a couple new blankets for the cooler weather.  I couldn't pass up finishing off the bolt of the ladybugs, it was too cute to leave in the store.  I ended up making baby doll blankets for Punkie and my cousin's little girl for Easter.


That's what I've been working on these last couple of weeks.  Swoon is crying for me.  I need to get back to those last 2 blocks.  Soon.

Enjoy your day!
Jen
