Larger Than Life Bag

Working on my own altered version of the larger than life bag. I’m gonna make it into a messenger style bag and make it a super diaper bag of my dreams! This would be my *2nd* crochet project btw.

I updated the craft blog. Link can be found in my profile. I’ve been spending a majority of my time on knitting, so it only seems right that I start updating that and showing off my stuff.

I’ve been busy busy but have neglected to update this blog. But I’m going to change that. So let’s see.

Currently I have a couple of projects cast on. I’m almost finished with a blanket for Magdalena. It’s using the same pattern that I used for Carmina’s blanket, but Magdalena picked out the yarn. I’ve been working on a afghan for my Mom. It’s knit in 12″x12″ squares that are pieced together at the end. I’m loving this because the squares knit up quick and I’m not stuck in what feels like a gigantic project (if that makes any sense). And the last project I’m working on currently is slippers for Erich because he complains about his feet getting cold all.of.the.time.

I finished Magdalenas hat today. It’s super cute. The picture doesn’t show you the details in the wool, but the orange has little specks of red in it. I’d LOVE to knit her a wool coat, and even have the pattern. But I would have had to start that last winter. heh. Now that I have the hat done, I can color coordinate the jacket. And I have some wool left so hopefully I can make her some mittens. When I lanolize these things, they’ll be waterproof and warm, ready for playing in the snow!

Well, I tackled the embroidery machine. And it simply rocks. I ordered the necessary software that I needed and I’m done for the week until it gets here. I opted to not use sew on tags for my diapers and just use an embroidered label. That way it never tears off or washes out. I HATE when I have a WAHM diaper that I can’t identify because you can no longer read the label. With the embroidered label, there shouldn’t be any of those problems.

Erich has been gone since 8am this morning. He had two service calls for the computer repair business and then was going to drop off a fixed computer and come home. Well at about 2pm he called to tell me that there was a third call. At 4ish he said he was going to get the repaired computer (he had to stop at the shop to get it and such) and then was coming home. Well, he just called and said that he had dropped off the repaired computer but there is now a 4th call to go to. Urgh. It’s awful to have him away so long. It is really nice that he is making so much extra money and that we will be able to pay down bills and such but we miss him. And it’s so hard to be without an extra parent all week long.

Okay I’m done rambling. Since I’ve been working on the embroidery machine most of the day I haven’t done much around the house. We had to make an emergency trip out of town because I broke a needle on my serger and I didn’t have a spare, so that ate up a bunch of time too. All I really want to do though is curl up on the couch and watch TV.
