Today was my day off and I spent it running errands, baking and fixing a problem I have wanted to fix for some time.
Jenny and I made a pact for the day to motivate us to get some

crafting done. Like her I am not in a rut, more just having motivation to get all of my ideas worked through and started at least

. ;-D
Here is the bag I worked on today to the left. I realize it doesn't look like much - but it was in desperate need of interface. As you can see to the right is the heavy weight sew in interface I purchased today during my errands. I have never used the s

ew in kind before - but it is much preferred over the fusible kind that I have used in the past. Here is the original bag to the right. Notice the slouch? It is no more! Beyond sewing I also baked some cupcakes for a get together on Saturda

y with Jason's classmates. Here they are in their necked glory. They will be frosted after work tomorrow in order to be able to leave asap on Saturday when I get home. Notice the cute pumpkin wrappers?
Last but not least I am about 1/2 inch to 1 inch away from the heel on Jason's 4th pair of socks. This is

the second time I have done toe up two at a time and I am still loving it.

Jason gets cupcakes AND knit socks? I'm so not telling my hubby. LOL
No kidding. You could start a spoiled hubby trend. I had already planned silly cupcakes for the Knight's birthday though...
i'm impressed - sewing, baking AND knitting all in one day? :)
i think this pact thing is working out. let's do it again! how about one post per day!!
i forgot to say the sewing looks good! does the purse really sit up more now?
ugh, did i tell you i showed up at 6am on the WRONG day for work? here's hoping i didn't read the schedule wrong again today. have fun at the party!
What flavor were your cupcakes? I'm so excited cuz I've started baking again. No matter how busy I am, I'm going to fit it in! Two weeks ago I made Pumpkin Sliders.
The bag is lovely.
I joined a local sock club and my first package mailed out on Saturday so I hope to see it today. They sent me a link to the pattern along with a walking tour of DC as we go along. the pattern is toe up. So it will be my first pair. I hope I don't get frustrated.
Devon!!! Thanks for updating your blog - I missed seeing all your crafty goodness! Why do you like the sew-in interface better? I like the fusible bc it seems easier. Just paste and iron, right? Anyway, just curious.
Glad to see you're settled in!
