Obsessed

This morning I was watching The Today Show and they were talking about how people are obsessed with using the word obsessed.  As I stumbled out of bed to grab a breakfast of champions (Cadbury chocolate eggs... I'm obsessed with these every Easter) and plop myself on the couch, so I could crochet some dish towels that need to be mailed (I'm obsessed with crocheting and mailing packages to people), my mom came frolicking out of the craft room and plopped a down a sewn bag.  She spun around and exclaimed, "made another one" as she headed back to continue sewing.  If this pile keeps growing, it may be safe to say that she's obsessed with making these cute little totes.

Protection

I've been obsessed lately with crocheting cases, sleeves, and holders (whatever you want to call them) for our electronics and the word PROTECTION.  Anyway, I found this tutorial to help with the basic pattern, but I didn't follow it perfectly.  I messed up on the laptop sleeve and it's uneven where the stitches join, but it doesn't bother me... that much. :)  I added a fun little flower with the help of this video (it's a series, so you have to watch a couple to complete the whole flower).  These videos are actually good ones to watch because the lady is so fun.

I just crocheted the iPad bag like I would a headband, just bigger.  When I had a tube, I left spaces for the handles.  I then turned it inside out and sewed up the bottom.  Super easy to make.  Use two yarns together to make it chunky.

Thank You!

My dear friends Cora (who just so happens to be a fabulous artist herself) gave this knitted bag to me! It was made by a friend of hers and I absolutely love it! The coolest part is that Cora had used it as her purse, so it has that much more meaning. I suppose that one day I will have to pass it on. Maybe one day I will learn how to knit bags, but right now I’m still stuck on the basic scarf. :)

Number 30

I have loved these bags for many years. They belonged to a friend of mine and just recently handed down to me. They are crazy quilted bags and they are so fun!
