I took the week off from work with the intent of sewing all week, of course after the new XBOX360 release with netflix, I got sucked into Jericho... second season was a major dissapointment, the fact that I watched both seasons in a room where my sewing machine was not very productive, but the mind escape was good.

Then I got to sewing.  I finished binding (which I have yet to learn to love) made a few dish clothes... and loaded them (well the quilts and a few of the dish clothes) up on my etsy shop.

I am even offering free shipping on quilts for the holidays!! 

I was playing around with cutting and ended up with this.  I am plum out of batting so this is as far as this is going to get for now.  At 29"x34" it is pretty small, but I think it is darling all the same.

Tonight I worked on some pot holders, I am very pleased with the way they turned out... granted I still need to put the binding on one of them, I am sure that will go fine.

I am slowly working on christmas crafting... one thing at a time... one thing at a time...  

Apparently the hill that my building is on is sliding a block south of me... yeah that gives me comfort.

Vox meet my matched luggage, matched luggage meet Vox.  It is actually more of a bubble gum pink than that picture would have you believe, but I quite like that picture.

I am off on the road again.  This time I am going to visit my craftilicious friend Miss Ess in the land of Ohio. 

The last time I was intentionally in Ohio was to visit miss Gracey Larue*.  She was a neighbors’ great aunt or something.  I should see if she is still alive and visit her if she is.  She was a delightful older woman (in her late 80s in the early 90s) that I used to love visiting when en-route between college and home.  I am pretty sure I have not been back since, save for the occasional lay over.  She introduced me to these weirdly delicious  fried eggy cornbread things; mmm butter and syrup.  She said it was old people food: easy to chew, tastes good and some (though limited) health benefits.

Today is errand and warsh day. 

Errands first: I headed out to the pet store then the bank after which I hit the grocery store. 

As I strolled through the aisles I was confused to discover the Fluff with the Manishewitz.  Is there a reason for this?  I am not a fluff eater but I would have expected it perhaps with the chocolate, or the peanut butter.  Can someone explain this? 

The warsh is half done; of course the dryer did not want to dry the first time around.  Luckily I picked up quarters while I was out.  I also picked up fish food so that my cousin has something to feed  Clive, as well as 2 new light bulbs for the tank, on of the blasted things does not work.  GRRR ARGH!

I suppose it is a good thing that I wear the same thing all year round: tank, t, hoodie and jeans.

It looks like the weather should be similar to what I am used to, but then who really knows.

Today is lovely.  It is actually about 74 outside now.

The mountains are out.

What a delightful day to not be at work.  Sadly I cannot go meet Christopher for drinks, but my sushi lunch avec beer is quite suitable…

I am sure it is of no surprise that I have created a quilting group in the vox groups....
join up quilters!

I started out the day in a pretty crabby mood; my morning was less that delightful.  The day turned out to be not anything like it had started.  A meeting turned errand running, turned lunch, turned 4 hours later was a really great way to get to know a co-worker better.  I was so chatty it was nuts.

Then when I got home it was like a birthday because swap squares have begun to arrive!  I have been sponsoring quilt square swaps through getCrafty for about a year now.  It is a great way to see other peoples work and fabrics. 

This go around we had 8 people sign up, so each person sends me 2 squares per person (not including them) and then I sort and send them back 2 squares from each person who signed up.

I have almost enough to make a whole quilt with swapped squares.

If you are interested I will be sponsoring another next month!

In other equally exciting news, I also received a delightful black squirrel care package from Miss. Ess!  If you do not think she is the best then you are dumb.

I have finished and uploaded another pair of bags to my Etsy shop.  These are the exact same measurements as the Kymberlee bag. 

Description: While not only for knitters, at about 14” tall, knitters on the go will love this bag: its deep design holds the long knitting needles without sticking out, it is even big enough to carry your yarn and patterns. It features an exterior pocket (perfect for a cell phone or MP3 player) and a cotton chicken lining.

Last night I finished up two knitters bags, they are both the same: this is the Kymberlee bag.  Up on SITA on etsy they go. 

I have enough fabric to make at least 3 more if not 4 more. 

I have now cut the pieces for the Chicken and Stripes bag.

Kymberlee 010 - description: While not only for knitters, at about 14” tall, knitters on the go will love this bag: its deep design holds the long knitting needles without sticking out, it is even big enough to carry your yarn and patterns. It features an exterior pocket (perfect for a cell phone or MP3 player) and a cotton sugar skull lining.
