One Year!
The blog officially turned one year old yesterday.
To celebrate…
- I finally got off my bum and got the main website up and running.
- I gave the blog gallery a revamp.
- I added some back end goodies that should allow me to cater better to your browsing needs.
I am also currently test driving a project bag design that I hope to be able to offer for sale soon.
This is the small size, approximately 9″ x 9″, and is made from a sturdy quilting cotton. It is fully lined inside and has a drawstring closure.
The best part? My husband will be making them. He’s very good with a sewing machine and pays attention to every small detail. The above bag is a pretty basic design, but he took and modified it to his own specifications pretty much on whim. He also has plans for more complicated bags with flat bottoms and/or inner pockets. I am incredibly impressed with him right now.
We plan to offer a few different sizes of the basic bag, as well as lined and unlined versions. The above size, unlined, would be about $8.00 + shipping. Lined would boost the cost up to about $14.00 + shipping, but the extra thickness makes it more durable and better looking.
The blue thing in the photos is one of my many current WIPs. It is the cuff of the first of a pair of extra thick socks that I’m making myself to keep my toes (and feet warm) when it gets a bit chillier around here. The yarn is Cascade 220 and it is a nice heathery dusk blue.
