Friday Mega-Update!

I know I promised pictures of a bunch of stuff today, but I'm SO close to really being done with the ice storm sweater, that I want to hold off and do a real FO post for it. Hopefully this cute photo of my dog Lucy will distract you! (As you can see, she likes the sweater, too. She's a funny dog - she will always lay her head on a pillow if it's available!)
Next up, my little sewing project! This is the Frenchy Bag pattern from Amy Butler, using Alexander Henry fabrics. The bag almost looks like it's done already, but in this picture I still need to put in the lining and do some finishing stitches on the outside. But you get the gist...
One thing I will say is that following this pattern seemed WAY easier than the sewing patterns I remember from my 4-H days. (Probably because my mom was such a perfectionist!)
(Moveable Type is being screwy today, so you'll have to scroll down to see the rest of the pictures.)
Last but not least, we have the beginnings of my Central Park Hoodie! I'm using Dream In Color Classy (the yarn everyone's using to make those cute Tulip baby jackets). I bought this on a trip to Independence, MO for work. I got there a little early so I walked around the town square and looked through some of the shops. And what do you know, there's a yarn shop! (Knitcraft) It was a large store with a lot of selection. And really, who can argue with Dream in Color yarn?

Very cute bag! And the sweater looks like it will be lovely. Stop teasing us about the Ice Storm sweater and just finish it already.

LOVE the bag - makes me want to take up sewing again which is on "the list" of things to do whenever I get around to retirement. So many projects to do, so many books to read, so many trails to bike, so little time! Sigh!
Please bring the back to RnR meeting next Friday so I can see it up close and personal.

Your projects are great. Good job on the purse; guess my teaching you to sew in 4-H is paying off (I'm really not a perfectionist). I love the hoodie. Remember, Christmas is coming :-)

Awww, I love Lucy! And the bag looks great! I'm with Kate, I think you should make us all bags! (Or at least teach me how to sew.)

awww, Lucy your so cute!
Your bag looks fantastic! I love the shape, can't wait to see how you finish it off.
Love your CPH! I've been thinking of knitting a sweater with the summer sky colorway.
