Lunch bag pink or teal?

I have not been doing very well with my New Year's resolution so we will just toss that out the window.
Swish-There now that's out of the way. On to more crafty stuff.

I have been wanting to get back into sewing so bought myself a how to book or actually it's called "The Bag Making Bible" by Lisa Lam.

Some of the instructions are hard to understand but I'm getting there. I haven't really sewn in years, just little things here and there.

But I just love this little bag. It's reversible, bright and very lightweight. It is not meant to hold much weight, but how much lunch do I need? I also carry coupons, bills, tape measure, etc.


                                                           The Pink Side! My fav.
 
The inside. My second fav.

 
The other outside!

 
I made my Mom a book bag to carry her Bible in and forgot to take a picture. D'OH!
 I'll get right on that.

Baby Ben's Blanket

Baby Ben is going to be grandbaby #2 for my friend Susan.

This is Susan's daughter Kelly (who I put to bed with her shoes on when she was a wee baby.)


So much for blogging once a week. Maybe I can manage once a month!
I have made other things, I just didn't blog about them. Oh well as long as I keep trying.
I have another project in the works so here's hoping....

New year new resolution

My resolution this year is to blog once a week. I never make resolutions because I can never seem to keep them. Hopefully this year will be different.

So here we go.

My first post of 2013 is for a scarf I made from Redheart Boutique Ribbons yarn. I got mine at JoAnn's. One skein will make this scarf, it is about 60" long. I got the instructions on how to crochet the ribbon yarn on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7ZMs3ao1Sc


I tried to put a picture on but it is not letting me right now.  Anyway it is fairly simple but you do need to have some experience with crocheting. The yarn snags easily so make sure your fuzzy friends don't get a hold of it.

Happy New Year!
