I have made a couple of things....

...in the last couple of days.

First up is the Swing Bag from Amy Butler. The bag was made with Surf and Sand by Michele D'Amore on the inside, and the outside is Chocolate Lollipops. I bought this fabric, and tons more, while shopping with my mom this past summer, at my "local" yarn and fabric shop. I say "local", because i do not really consider a shop that is 60 miles away to be local. Sadly, it is the closest thing, other than JoAnns! I do a LOT of online shopping!

So, with that said, up next we have the scarf. This is from the Scarves to Throws pattern collection at Jimmy Beans Wool, my favorite online yarn shop. My scarf is Month 6 (every month of this past year, JBW put out a new pattern), but i am using a different colored yarn than the one used in the pattern. Mine is Tuscany. I absolutely love the Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted. If i had to pick only ONE yarn that i could use for the rest of my life, hands down this yarn would be the one. I love the colorways, i love the softness, i absolutely love EVERYTHING about this yarn. I am also kind of a sucker for a named colorway. I detest colorways that are strictly identified by a number!

Next up, i am in dire need of some new cotton fabric pajama bottoms. My two favorite pairs have split in the tushie. In the winter time (really, any time) i change into my jammies early, usually as soon as dinner has been eaten and cleaned up. So...that means that my jammies see a lot of couch time, which means that the tushies get worn out rather fast! I bought a ton of Amy Butler fabric last summer, in the hopes that they would be made into purses or skirts. Well, one of the problems of buying online is trying to guage colorways and tone. I like the eyelash fabric from the Belle line, but not enough to wear it around town. They will make perfect pajama bottoms though. So, if anyone knows of a great pattern for capri (or full-length, i can just chop off the leg wherever i want, right?) pajama bottoms, please do enlighten me.
