Rainy Mondays in the Craft Room and My First Stitches Event Experience

Rain, rain, rain… this is the view from my craft room window today. It is not very pretty right now since the back area is under construction. When we moved here, we had to cut out part of the bank, and our plan is to dig out that ditch, lay rocks, and create a dry stream bed. That way, when it is dry it will still look pretty, and when it rains, it will be pretty too.

We are also hoping to do some paving back there and set up my antique patio set. I can already picture sitting out there with a cup of coffee and some knitting once it is finished.

This weekend was a blast!

We had Stitches here in the South, and it was my first time attending. It was a little overwhelming, to be honest. There were so many booths, and I did not get to look at all of them as much as I wanted to. I did, however, get a lot of yarn, which is always a win.

I will be sharing pictures soon and doing a little enabling for you all.

I also drove some of the sweet ladies from the guild, and I think they had a great time, too. I felt like a momma hen the whole day, constantly counting heads and trying to keep up with everyone.

On top of that, I discovered a new bag style to sew. I noticed several similar bags at the show and then found a pattern on YouTube. It features a flat bottom, interfacing that makes it stand on its own, and a zipper. I also added an inside pocket for the label and notes. I love that it can stand on its own and has a handle. I wish I had made it a bit shorter, but I do appreciate the ample space it provides. 

its not perfect and a little uneven but I love it :)

I added a handle

Happy Yarning!
