A project...

...DONE!  Three completed shopping bags.

Wednesday is the big trip to Kansas.  A portion of the travel is on the turnpike with speeds of 75 mph allowed so we figure 4 hours one way allowing for quick stops.  Ivy is all excited.  She is counting down the days til we leave.

Regarding the shopping bags, Holly's is the bright pink with white piping dividing the two colors.  It turned out the very best.  Ivy's is cute, too.  On the other hand, mine is the muted honey florals with bright batiks separating the colors.  It was also the last one I did and I think I was getting a little too "know it all" as the lining and outside did not match perfectly in size...ugh so I just plowed on through and made some gathers.  I just wasn't up to ripping all the stuff out.  Hey, it is a shopping bag not a wedding dress!

Here is Ivy's bag in the making.

So will let you know how Kansas is this time of year next post.

Today Whitey and I are going exploring in Oklahoma.  When Whitey explores it is usually related to some body of water checking out the fishing opportunities...hmmm...I will grab my knitting bag, camera and go for it!

xxoo Have a safe and happy week til I talk to you next time on the airwaves!
