Is it really Friday already? Here I meant to blog several times this week and almost the whole week has gone by with only 1 post! :) Well I guess I will just have to remedy that. Yesterday I had coffee with Anina of twiddletails. It was my second time meeting another craft blogger and it was so neat to get to meet Anina in person. Thanks Anina for making me feel welcomed to the area!

We also got the front passenger seat of our car back from the movers yesterday afternoon. Ben and I went out for dinner & laughed on the way to dinner about how it was nice to be able to sit next to each other in the car again! :) Now I just can’t wait to get all our other stuff back, but for now it is in storage until we get into our new place. Which will hopefully be early April! We found an apartment and I am so excited to finally get settled in. It has a second bedroom so I can have a studio space (and Ben can have his desk), and it is south facing so hopefully there will be lots of sunlight.

I do think I am going through a bit of sewing withdrawal. I have managed to convince myself to wait until we are in the new apartment to buy myself my new sewing machine, but just barely:) This is probably made all the more difficult by the fact that I went and sewed on some machines & decided exactly which sewing machine I am going to get! I guess in the meantime since I don’t have any current crafting to show, I can catch up and show what I made before we moved… The project up above and closeup shot below are of a scarf I was making when my machine decided to die right in the middle of the project.

Luckily I did get my machine back in working condition so I was able to finish up this project and a few other projects before moving. I didn’t really want to have to move a large w.i.p. pile, although there were still a couple things on the pile anyways:) The fabrics on that scarf probably look familiar since I also used a few of them for this blanket. I added 2 tones of blue linen to the scarf though to make it slightly different from the blanket and really like how it turned out. It was a tough scarf to part with since I really love the colored linen and the somewhat ornate flannel backing. It went to a good home though:)

Another project I finished up was this little zippered pouch to match this purse…

It was a request from my mom, so she can keep things a bit more organized in her new purse. It was supposed to have a matching little camera case since she got a new camera and is trying to carry it with her all the time, but the designs I tried just didn’t seem to work quite right. I might try again though when I get my new machine, since a lot of the problem was that my machine just didn’t want to sew through the layers.

Oh and I have to say thanks to Steph, because the other day she let me know that I had a blog feed that wasn’t working… A big thanks to Ben too, because after a day of computer stuff at work he came home and fixed it for me. Also, he pointed out that it would be easier for readers to subscribe if I created a little place on my sidebar with links to my blog feeds so I added that. If you are not sure what a blog feed is and you read a lot of blogs, check out google reader (my favorite) or bloglines (or any other feed reader out there) because it will make checking your favorite blogs so much quicker! :)
