Marvie's Crochet Corner

Let's see. what have I been up too? I am sitting here feeling very content, I feel caught up for the first time in weeks. I've been falling behind in crochet, reading blogs, email (let's not even think about how far behind I really still am there lol) and pretty much everything else I do. So if I'm feeling content and caught up, technically I should have accomplished something right?

Well I did get a few things done. I made a packing list for my trip. I make a list of things I plan to take with me, adding/subracting as the days/weeks pass. Making sure the clothes I want to take can be found, are clean, and well, that they still fit ;)

As I made the list, I realized I needed not only the hook case I'd already started on, but a pouch for my 35mm camera. It's just a cheapie thing, but I like it. So I grabbed a ball of the Noro Kureyon I bought when Anna was here. I whipped up a little bag with a falp, felted it up... then realized I didn't leave a buttonhole! So I have to figure out a closure for it still but here it is:

Before (6.5"X6" or close to it) and after (6X5:

I also worked on the baby 'ghan, am into the white now. I have about 9 more rows or so. That's just eyeballin' it. I should look for someplace that lists standard blanket sizes.

I finished the hook case:



I organized my yarns, frogged the knitted scarf (maybe I feel liberated from that lol) made a list of things I need to get crocheted before I leave, crossed one of those items off today but it was a secret pal project so I can't talk about it. Frustrating too bc I reeeeeeeeeeeeally wanna tell ya'll about it. I'm damn proud of myself lol. I made some of Donna's Book Thongs too! Yes, *I* used thread! and beads! I got four done tonight before my eyes were crossing and my brain hurt from that little bitty stuff. Oh I had to weave ends with a sewing needle with a teensy little teeny tiny eye. That was not fun, but I managed it. I still want to make a few more too. Almost all my friends read, so these can count as one of my Gift-along items for Feb. hehehehe and I even managed to do a little bit of housework in the past few days (reeeally been slacking there lately.)

Hmmm well that's about all I have right now. I'm sitting here staring off into space and can feel the sleepies coming on lol. So goodnight everyone =) Hope ya'll have a nice evening!
