What I have been up to since Thanksgiving...

Here are the bags I was making for my friend's Mom. I REALLY hope she likes them!!! The pictures don't quite do them justice, they look loads better in person.


For the first time, I tried my hand a lining the bags. I think it worked out fairly well considering I can't sew with a sewing machine to save my life. The material I picked up is really cool. I hope Heb's Mom likes that too. =)
Here you can see me trying to sew on the lining with the sewing machine. Not an easy task.
Here is something else fun that I made recently. I bought the pattern set Bacchus in the bath eye mask from Knit Picks. I love it! I didn't make the middle I-cord yet, but I will add it soon so it's completely dark when I wear it to sleep or when I get a migraine to keep out the light.
Here's a photo of me modelling the eye mask. I must say that the yarn I used (Shine Worsted) is so incredibly soft and it feels nice on your face. I didn't put anything inside the mask, but you can add scented herbs or rice or something. The pattern explains how you can add to it. It was work buying the pattern kit.
