The One About Inori

First of all, I have to write that I received a very lovely package – a huge box of goodies from Debra.

I took photos of all the stuff in the box (Sunshine was standing beside me and “WOW!!!!!”-ing at everything I took out. And she kept saying, “NICE!” – uh huh… I don’t know who taught her that?)

I then packed all the goodies away.

Then my trusty little Nikon Shite threw a spaz and corrupted my CF card. This is not the first time it’s done it but this time it caught me UNAWARE. ARGGHH! I will never be able to show the package that Debra and her daughters put together for me! There were so many goodies! Including:

- A cook book

- Chubbie’s baby socks

- Chubbie’s new suit and mittens and booties set

- Hand knitted hankies by Debra! All BLUUUEEE!!!

- A soft blankie

- Sunshine’s socks

- A jigsaw puzzle for Sunshine

- Some yarn to knit Elmo with

- A packet of double ended clothes pegs (lol)

- A sign for the car ‘Baby on board!’

- A picture and a card drawn by Debra’s daughter, Bree.

- An alphabet set for Sushine (which she loves!)

I think that’s it. I might have left some stuff out. Stupid camera….

ANYWAY……… the alphabet set also meant that I had 26 new things to pick up after. So last night I whipped up this drawstring bag:

It now holds the alphabet set and Sunshine will have to learn to put all of them in after she plays with them.

Thank you, Debra. This came at a great time – she enjoys ‘naming’ the alphabets and will aid her in her learning!

Now to show you what I made for the Ravelry Project Bag swap.

I will only show you the bags for now as the extras would give the recipient’s identity away.

One Japanese Knot bag and one teeny pyramid pouch.

I added a closure for the knot bag as well as an internal zipped pocket.

This is how it looks like when you carry it:

I’m sending them out today. Hope my swappee likes them!
I’m done with all the swaps I signed up. Well, I only signed up for 2. Hahhaa. And it’s time I started to sew and knit for myself and my own family. I’m not planning to join swaps until at least 2 months or so later – and that’s only because the Ravelry Aussie Rainbow swap would be ‘BLUE’ by then and how can I resist a blue swap!??!?!

I’m also trying not to and resisting the urge to cast on new projects for other people now. Only knitting for my own family/ myself from now till……. further notice.
