I'm a sucker for puns.  And cute things.

2011 photo yearbook project day #30

Since I've started my knitting supplies collection, I needed something to hold all of my loose needles, both straight and double pointed needles.  I found this cute sewn fabric needle organizer from an Etsy seller and after it arrived yesterday, I organized my needles today.  Some of the needles are a little loose right now but I think that's because my organizer isn't more full.  See how cute this whale print is?

I liked how it closes with a strap and adjustable buckle.  I can't wait until the Bar is over and I can work on learning how to become a better knitter.  I'm such a yarn addict, haha.

a whale of a tale

Isn't he just adorable?  I'll be creating another one to sell in the shop, so look out for him if you want to get your hands on one, too!  He's super soft and cuddly and looks adorable as a pillow/cushion on my bed.  Have I mentioned lately that I love my sewing machine??  But my poor jewelry has been neglected so I need to get back to that, too.  I haven't forgotten about my lovely sparklies!

I also worked on a monkey plush yesterday but I went a bit too fast and messed up a part of him.  We'll be headed to the craft store tonight so I can get some much-needed sewing supplies.  Hope to be able to fix him by tomorrow, then a new picture will come!  I'm loving having this week to experiment with plushies and my sewing machine.  But next week it's down to business.  Going to be working on the inventory now that I have some confidence and created some working patterns.  I really think I might be able to reach my goal of opening shop by the end of this month.  Yay!
