I received a couple more swap things this week! First, from leighi123: Two pretty zipper bags and some very pretty cotton fabric that will most likely become a skirt or summery dress. She also sent a sheet of shrink plastic, some pretty sparkly thread, and some chocolate (which I gave to my brother as I’m [...]

Wednesday afternoon, I claimed ThatsWhatSheSaid in the Ongoing Wish Swap for a dpn/crochet hook case. Wednesday evening I sewed most of said case, and Friday morning (today) I sewed on buttons and packaged up that sucker for sending. Yes, I’m FAST. Anyway, here’s what I came up with: It’s a variation on the dpn roll [...]

So, yesterday I had to run some errands around Fredericksburg (return some library books, buy a frying pan, locate part of my sister’s birthday present), and I swung by a thrift store I had not previously been to. Not only did I locate what I needed for my sister (a small photo album I’m going [...]
Quality Time

So I had a couple of hours earlier this week that weren’t taken up by class or making up for a month of lost time with my friends and boyfriend. Instead of doing homework like I probably should have been doing, I spent some quality time with Leah, the Brother sewing machine I got for [...]

Almost everywhere I go on campus, I need to have, at the very least, my ID card, phone, and keys. If I don’t want to bring my whole purse, it’s sometimes difficult to juggle everything (while not breaking my ID card or my Blackberry). I kept my ID and keys in a little wallet I [...]
Lace Yarn + Purse Junk = DISASTER

To avoid the above problem, I made this cute little project bag! Cute, huh? Just basic Walmart mystery fabric and a shoe lace (well, the lining is from a bed sheet), but I love how it came out! It’s small, so it’ll fit in my purse, but it’s large enough to fit a good size [...]

All You Need is Love (and a Zipper Pouch)

With the extra fabric I got in my epically awesome rainbow swap package, I made a zipper pouch: I left the image large so you can see the awesome fabric. : ) It’s a pretty simple design, the pouch, used a zipper I had in the stash that I bought in a bunch from an [...]

More on the Ongoing Wish Swap: I had two claims in a short-ish period of time, and since they both received, here is what I made: For Leighi123, a crochet sandwich: I used random scraps of acrylic yarn I had lying around and made up some patterns. There’s lettuce, cheese, hard boiled eggs, onion rings, [...]
