productive!
I've been pretty busy in the knitting department- and even more so with sewing, which is so rare for me. Anyway, I made this red felted bag for a gift- (the picture with the pen is prefelted)- I used up some of that red novelty yarn I loathe, but not nearly enough. Oooh- but the cool part is the person getting it got a matching scarf last year, well I think its cool.
Next is a changing pad, which I totally screwed up and had to start over after I started sewing all the layers together in the wrong order. Its not funny. Anyway, its a prototype, but I'm pretty happy with it, and all its wonkiness.
And finally a very retro flannel crib sheet (my gram gave me this flannel- which I think may have been around since I was born)- I made 2 of these and really I want to make a few more from some super cute fabric I have, but how many crib sheets do we need around here anyway?

Some progress has been made
I had grand plans to knit *alot* when we went to Colorado. It didn't happen. Pathetic really- hours and hours of driving, no knitting. Anyway... moving on...
I have finished a set of felted heart shaped coasters and a heart dish, where are the pics? I dunno....
....and a "Neopolitan" Sophie bag (colors are much nicer in person) for a gift, then I got out my sewing machine (huge news) and whipped out a "wet bag" for soiled cloth diapers (exciting, huh?) and 2 re-usable grocery bags, and made a box of crayon costume for that cute kid that lives here. I'm actually knitting a small red (felted) clutch, and then I'll probably start on felted clogs, again for that cute girl. I'm really scared of them, though, since I'm skeered they'll turn out like the socks I have started 4 times.... and have no complete socks to date. Oye.
