My HUGE YAY!!!

The Picture of my HUGE YAY!!!!! My package form my One Skein Secret Pal--Bright Colored yarn that makes me smile and smile!!! A pattern to make a bag with my bright happy yarn and it is all done being knitted up i just need to add handles but i havent taken the updated picture yet-Below is what i had done by Saturday night the day i got my package!! I also got some stitch markers that i was looking at the other day in the store (i didnt buy them-something kept me from buying them-now i know what :) :) :) and some nice needles with the curved tip they came in very useful when i was seaming up my bright happy bag. THANK YOU SO MUCH GRANDMA!!!!!!! i loved my package!

BRIGHT HAPPY HAPPY YARN ABOVE turning into a side of a purse! and i also threw in a picture of another project that i am working on but it has been put on pause while i look at a sewing book--Adorable Animals from Wee Wonderfuls .

This is just the basic layout of what they will look like, the fabric is inside out and i havent decided what color dress the black cat will have--what do you think? pink or purple. Well i really want to get this post up. More next time. By the way --IT'S HOT!!!!

HUGE YAY!!!!!!!!! nevermind.... :(

Well i was going to write about my huge YAY!!! but BLOGGER IS BEING
@@$$#$%^^#@@#$%$###$$$ stupid again so i will try again later or tomorrow.
I HATE BLOGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2nd YAY!!!! and what i have been up to..

Second YAY!! i finally finished Bad Penny. SHE IS DONE!!! she turned out great. Sadly i had to leave out the lace design at the bottom of the shirt but it's not a big deal for me. i still am really happy with how she turned out. I am not sure if you remember all the trouble i had with the sleeves but i ended up having to redo them in the larger than called for needle, there was just no way i could get them around my arms even with a SUPER LOOSE bind-off. When i wear it i will get a picture it has just been to Hot and everytime i remember to put it on for a pic i don't want to cause i am all sticky and sweaty --Not cool for a nice new shirt.

I FELTED--i have wanted to for so long so i decided to try. Here is Neopolitan before felting. It wasnt actually what i was going for but i ran out of brown and decided to use pink and when i looked at it i was reminded of a certian Ice Cream hence the name!!

Here is Neopolitan all felted and Purty :) i love her!!! I used Lamb's Pride worsted doubled up on size 15 circ. needles. i will definately be felting more bags-bigger ones this is actually a clutch and the original pattern is from One Skein but i had to put more stitches on to fit my longer size circ. needles other than that i stuck to the pattern.

July 15th was my friends baby shower and she loved the stuff i made and the quilt my Omi made. Below is a picture before the gifts went off. I am really proud of how everything turned out. My best baby sweater so far(sorry andrea you got stuck with a not so good first sweater :).

well...

i have a few things i wanted to show but Blogger is being Problematic!!!!! So i will post as soon as i can.
To look forward to next time:

Until theni will work on Bad Penny some more!
