Hi to all in Blogland. Wow, I can't believe its been over a month since I last posted! Things have been in an uproar here at the Morris household and there has been a serious lack of knitting and finished projects. But, I am happy to say that things are getting back to normal and there are a few things to show you.
First up is the Little Grab and Go Purse.
This is the cutest little purse and very quick and easy, and best of all, it's a free pattern. I made this one for my daughter Rachael's birthday and I made another one for Kelly. This is my first felted project, and I really enjoyed it. I used Plymouth Galway for this one, and Cascade 220 for Kelly's. I think the Galway felted much better than the Cascade, its much smoother and tighter.
Looky how smooth!!
Specs: Little Grab Purse from All tied up in stitches
Galway Highland Heather in color 732
Size 11 circs
Pewter button from Four Feathers Pewter
I also made a pair of Fetchings.
Exactly as pattern except I had to go down to a size 5 needles after completely knitting them and running out of yarn.
And finally here is the other little bag and the reason things have been a little non-productive.
This is a clear bag I am required to have at my new job. I went to work full time at Dillards Department store. I have never worked full time, that is, full time out of the home. Being a mother and homemaker is more than a full time job! I had be doing some babysitting and lost all the kids, so I decided to get a job instead of more kids. (I didn't actually LOSE the kids, you know what I mean!)
We also went on a wonderful Florida vacation for a week. Fourteen of us went! We had a great time except for the sting-ray my son stepped on. Yep, it stung him. More on that later. Here is how tan Bella got. Tanner than me, and she was never without 50 spf!!
Welcome back! I'm glad all is well and you've had such a good time. Congratulations on your new job, and congrats as well on all those finished projects. Everything looks great!

OOOO what a cute little baby hand you are holding there. My cousin's wife works at Dillards in the Cleveland area. Working full time out of the house is definately easier that working full time at home; scheduled breaks and no one whining for juice or clean clothes. lol
