Enough already!

Okay, this is the last scarf for a while - I swear! I'd just started a bunch at once. I realized though, that if I get my shop up in April -- the popularity of cold-weather accessories will be pretty low. So I think I'll be holding on to them until August or so.

Posh and Purple

This actually originally was to be my second foray into knitting -- but then I dropped it and I was already thoroughly disgusted with using two needles so... I picked up the ol' hook! I would totally keep this one because it goes with my purple winter coat.

Half-Kitchen-Towel-Apron!

Aren't those chickens just the cutest? I had meant to add a towel loop -- I've never used one, myself, but I guess it could be handy.

The Last of the Christmas Gifts!

the two final aprons were given and unwrapped today. See, I really *was* a busy little bee before the holidays! I whipped up a kitchen towel apron yesterday which I will post as soon as I get the pic uploaded. :)

Crafting... at work!

Threw together this pillow cover yesterday for a display -- it took 1 yard of fabric and it's only 7 straight seams! The roughest part was the ties, but you could always use a ribbon or something instead of sewing them. I didn't have that luxury, since we don't sell ribbon.

It turned out cute, though!

So many placemats...

...on clearance at Pier1. Now I've combined my love for placemat bags with my love for buttons! They are also handy for masking the sometimes not-so-cute stitching that attaching handles causes.

I ran out of napkin, so I had to pick up some ribbon to attach the handles -- in some ways easier, and harder in others. Also, I was trying to pick ribbon based on what I *remembered* the colors of the bag to be... and obviously was thinking it was a little more sun-shine-y than it was.

But the buttons are a nice buffer.

Apron! The Red...

So, now the Christmas Craft projects can be unveiled! Slowly... I finally got to give this lovely number to a very good grad school friend. She loves red (like some other people I know...) I thought the pattern was pretty cool!
