Package in the mail!

I finished my notions bag this weekend! This is for a very busy knitter! This was my first ever attempt at sewing in a zipper by machine, and first pattern that I followed 100%! The bag is about 6" long - perfect size for sock knitters' notions (and it's filled with things that are helpful when knitting socks!) Oops, maybe I wrote too much! I hope the recipient enjoys it!

I found the pattern here...

I found Barb Lawrence's "The Purse Project" blog, and really liked this, so got the magazine to make it for Kathleen. I already had fish fabric (for my main floor bathroom), so it worked out great! I made a few changes to make it turn out the way I wanted for the linings, and I will definitely be making more of these. She wants to use it as a purse instead of a notions bag. I might have to send her a second bag!

Kathleen's bag from me

Kathleen got her notions bag and she has asked me to post these pictures for you all to see what else I sent besides the bag you have already gotten to see.
It is posted on my blog as well.











There is a puzzle for her son, some biscotti and recipe for more, and postcards and a couple of magnets from where I live. The significance of the corn cob "thing" is that it is a water tower for the Seneca/Libby's vegetable canning facility here in town. It is a famous local landmark.

Stitch Marker Prize

I got my beautiful, wonderful Stitch Marker Prize in today's mail. At first I couldn't figure out why they were showing up, or from who, but then I remembered! Thank you so much MKG! (I'll post a picture once I figure more camera issue stuff out. Maybe I could baby-sit again...)

I have received!

I received a beautiful notions bag from my partner Leslie today! This is picture-laden, and what a fun package! :)

The Whole She-bang...deceptively small!!

Everything that was in that package!

Troy, Michigan pencils, and the preschool where my partner works!

A BEAUTIFUL notions bag made of Noro....dear partner you spoil me so! :)

She did a little sleuthing and found out I'm a Star Wars fan, so she snuck in a little extra!!

And finally, a Detroit Tigers magnet - go Tigers! :)

Thank you so much!!!!

Box Mailed off

I have mailed my bag off to its new owner, and she should get it by Saturday! After I know it is in her hands, I will put a picture of it up on my home blog.

Which Ones Are Yours?????
