Crocheted Market Bag

Hi! So today's been very exciting after finding out my little baby memory box made it into TGF's Royalty Contest Final Four. Then I got a little nervous so I had to clean the house to use up some nervous energy. But with 3 kids on summer break the house doesn't stay clean for long. And thanks to everyone for the sweet comments!

Anyway, onto today's project. Over the past few days, I've been crocheting this market bag. The pattern is from Lion Brand Yarn #60551. It's not too large or small and fits a good amount of stuff in it. I put my kids toys in it just to see what would fit.

I had originally planned to make bags similar to this one as Xmas presents last year but started too late.

Here's my youngest trying the bag on for size. Yeah, it's really too big for him. Excuse all the messy toys in the background.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Congratulations on winning week 4 and making it into the Final 4! That was an awesome box! Cute bag! That is indeed quite a big bag! That's a lot of stuffed animals in there. I can't believe you crocheted that so quickly.

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

Hi! After finishing up these 2 projects for TGF's Blog Hop , I've come to realize that I am kind of addicted to stamps, especially TGF stamps. Hehe. Okay, I will not babble on too much since there are lots of other blogs to check out as well. I made something for both categories, Holiday and General. First up is my Holiday card. I recently acquired Hippie Anya! She inspired me to make a "peace" card for the holidays. But then I had to add Fleur Anya for "love" ... and 80s Anya for "joy." So great that these stamps could be turned into something Christmas-y. My General project has been swimming in my mind ever since I made that counting book a while back with TGF stamps as well. I thought I could make an ABC book too. But I didn't make this into a book. More like flashcards, I suppose. My youngest has a hard time recognizing lower case letters so I thought this would be fun for him. All stamps are TGF. I ...

I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

Hello everyone! I am back with my latest sewing creations. I have been playing around with plastic wrappers! I've seen those upcycled plastic wrap bags and purses (usually made from Capri Sun package juice) but never really paid attention to them or how they were made until I saw this tutorial using the wrappers from Pokemon cards. My boys love Pokemon cards and were just throwing the wrappers away but I started saving them and collected enough from their recent birthdays to make a couple of items. Here is a little coin pouch (didn't want to call it a purse since it's for my youngest boy and he'd probably not like that). This little pouch was made with 4 wrappers, 2 in front and 2 in back. It is a bit tough to turn right side out because the wrappers and contact paper get stiff. But it's possible and looks really neat! I made it so he could hang it from the inside of his backpack and also carry around a little bit of emergency...
