One Birthday Gift Completed

Yesterday, I spent a lot of the day watching tv and knitting. I managed to finish knitting Katie's birthday gift and then started making an i-cord handle. Finally, I threw it in the wash to be felted. It turned out really nice. After felting, I took out my needle and thread, yet again, to attach the handles. I also decided to add a button hole and button. I thought this added the perfect finishing touch :). Here is a picture of the finished product and a picture of Katie with the purse. She really liked it :)!



I love the colors and I like how cute and small it is. It is perfect for just throwing your wallet, cellphone, and keys into. I liked the pattern too. If you are on ravelry you can find information about the pattern here.

Kara's Bag + Knitting While Camping

A few days ago I finished knitting and felting the bag for Kara (Katie's cousin):

This is a picture right after the felting. The ends haven't been cut out yet. I also plan on adding some felted flowers and sewing them on with some random buttons as the centers. It should turn out pretty cute. I'll upload a picture of the finished product hopefully sometime this week... I just have to finish it :P

Today, I went camping and worked a bit on a gift for a friend. Since it is a gift for a friend... a friend who reads this blog, you will have to wait to see the finished product until I give it to her.

Picture Post #2

Today I would I realized that I don't have any projects that need to be finished. With Christmas come and gone and no more polyfill I decided to start making a flowered scarf. I'm using a pattern from the book The Happy Hooker. I made one already but I decided to give it another try, just for something to do. I'm using a light blue, light green, and light pink. I think it will look nice when it is finished.

So this is the second picture post... Yesterday I showed off what I made for my brother and sister-in-law. Today I chose to show pictures of what I made for my mom, dad, and sister. Enjoy the pictures! :)

For my mom, I made a table topper using a pattern I bought on Etsy. The pattern is by Amy Gaines and can be purchased here. I also used enami eyes for the santa part of the pattern. I like the way it turned out :):



For my dad, I made a CD of me singing :)... You will see the nice cover I made for it!



Finally, I created a Tigger head for my sister. She loves loves loves Tigger and so I started with a tiger pattern and changed it a LOT to make it look like Tigger.




Picture Post #3 is coming tomorrow :)

It's Christmas Eve

Today is Christmas Eve and I haven't finished my sister's gift... However I have finished my mom's gift and my dad's gift. I didn't have time to take pictures of my mom's gift before I wrapped it, but I will take some pictures tomorrow when she opens it and I'll post them later for you to see. I'm really proud of the final result. As for my dad's gift... He is getting a CD of me singing :) That is what he has truly wanted for a while...

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Don't Have Pictures Yet...

I don't have pictures for you yet, however, I do have some more finished gifts. Soon I will have a picture frame, purse, and I'll also have a cross-stitch bib to show all of you too :). Hopefully I can post those pictures this coming week. Hope you are all excited! :D
