WIP Cotton Project

In Downtown Overland Park is a quaint little yarn shop that caters to knitters. Saturday I felt like shopping for a locker hook with no luck. I did however find this tasty cotton to make a small saddle bag purse for myself.

My only problem was that the weather was too nice and I had a million small projects in mind. I just did not put the effort needed into this project...Yet. I'll post again when I have it finished.

Farmers Market Bag

This weekend I sat down with double strands of cotton Sugar n' Cream yarn and made this Farmer's Market Bag without a pattern. In two evenings I created this durable bag. My part in the effort to Go Green. The strap looks short, but it has been my experience with cotton that with the weight of the produce, it will stretch. So this wide, short strap will be perfect once it is a full bag.
I made a small pocket for my Drivers License, cash and cell phone. It is detachable. So now I am ready for the Farmer's Market to begin.




Space Buddies

Chelsie and Rellik were watching the movie Space Buddies on the comupter Sunday night. This is the craziest dog I think I have ever seen...
I think he was getting mad at me for taking pictures!

Trinity and Rogue are our newest members of the family. They grew up in the loving care of Ashly in Independence MO. They moved in with us tonight.
Kisses and the other pets had lots of fun introducing themselves. Everyone got along just fine and Rogue and Trinity scoped out every inch of the house while we set up their cage.

My Feb Magic Yarn Ball from Linda in Florida

Oh Yippee...Mail other than a bill!
My Magic Yarn Ball Exchange package arrived today from Linda in Florida!
Inside the package was the spillage of goodies that didn't fit in the ball ;)
A Postcard, a key chain, a lucky token, mini note cards a note and a beautiful set of Hummingbird pins~My favorite!
3 balls of yarn later... An Easter pen, flashy butterfly stickers, Beach stickers, flower smilies buttons, hand made earrings, beautiful orange string of beads, lucky shamrock coin, heart tin can with a teabag inside, a magnet and heart decals
This is Yummy yarn...I will go online and find the perfect pattern to use this yarn on. I think maybe a neck scarf. It will match about 3 Spring shirts I have.

What a shame that the guys are going off to the lake for the weekend and leaving me at home...
Hee hee hee! With 35 degree weather and snow in the forecast, I am thinking
#1 Recliner,
#2 Glass of wine,
#3 this yarn,
#4 fuzzy blanket tucking me in, & last but not least...
#5 chick flicks on TV!!!
Thanks Linda...This was a fun ball and a fun exchange!

Cotton Twist Project

Hit this Yarn sale on Saturday and got this Yummy yarn for 40% off. Such an addiction!
So I could not just sit and watch a movie...Hulk was not quite interesting enough. The yarn was calling my name..."Dana, crochet me!" So I grabbed the Cotton and made this Shell Neck Wrap. Not quite the piece designed to keep the neck warm, but rather a fiber jewl.

Now, what should I make with the Blues version of the Cotton Twist?! Since it is almost 11pm and I have to work tomorrow, I guess it will have to be a Monday project....


Mp3 Player lanyard holder by Dana


I found this Yummy Cotton yarn Saturday and needed to play with it. I made a couple of projects with it. This was a creation by Dana. Now I can run on the treadmill listening to my Spanish lessons and music.
