Yes in the midst of all of this packing I am still finding projects to keep my "idle" hahaha hands busy. Sunday I finished this cute little cosmetic bag for my sister in law's birthday. The pattern was one of the many free pattern's of the month on Vicki Howell's blog site. the pattern is Rosy Poesy bag. I opted not to add flowers. I have actually made this bag a few times I made a cool black and red one for my other sister in law. I made a purple ( of course :) ) one for myself they are so easy to knit and cute. I find the challenge is the zipper I sew them in by hand and This project was the first time in my life I had put a zipper into anything. It was actually easier than I expected and I survived intact to put 2 more in :)
Tonight I had the pleasure of going to my friend Shannon's for a party.... on military bases you'll find that the home based business circuit is heavy:) I went to a Close to My Heart party. I had never heard of the company so I was curious. They offer a wide range of stamps and scrapbook items it is more embellishments than I prefer for my scrapbook and I am not a stamper by trade. They have greeting cards though and other craft projects it was fun to see and do something new. I made a Halloween sucker cover tonight as featured in the picture. I was actually impressed it was only the second time in my life I ever used a stamp.... I thought it turned out cute. I also made a greeting card which is a bit crooked but that's ok I tried . It was nice to get out and have fun with the girl's and see friends I have known here I will miss everyone when I leave..although like Kelly was telling me the Air Force is "small" and I'm sure we'll meet up at another base before we know it. Which happens a lot this base as a matter of fact I have 2 friends here from other bases one from New Mexico and another from Montana. This post is for all you crafty and not so crafty gals out there be brave try something new !
