We're off this weekend up the California Coast to Ivan's Grandparent's house!Packing up now, but wanted to share the Good Folks mama quilt and Wren tote I've been staying up late the past few nights to make. I'm naming the quilt the "mama quilt" for the simple reasons that 1) this mama made it in the rare few hours that she has, so it's a simple patchwork of 9" squares and 2) it's the only pink thing in this house of boys and it's MINE :D!
For the tote, I bought the Anna Marie Horner Drawing Room fabric a few weeks ago and had been agonizing what to do with it, but decided last night at midnight that I should just make something with it or it will sit in my stash forever. It's my first bag, so no close-up pics- wouldn't want anyone to see the sketchy 1AM stitching and all :).
I'm bringing some yummy 3 Irish Girls yarn and knitting needles (since sewing machines don't travel well and Ivan's grandmother not only is the family matriarch, but the source of all things lovely and crafty and may share a tip or three with me), chick lit and a book I've been waiting forever for from the library... The Last Child In the Woods
I received the sweetest package this week from Nicole! Lillpoh magazines and this ever so precious knitted heart! What a lovely gift that is coming with me for inspiration! Thank You!
Ivan is chomping at the bit to get back on the computer so he can finish up his day and we can leave...Wishing everyone a GREAT weekend!
Much Love, Marina
