I found myself alone on Sunday afternoon and evening and I completely ran amok! First, I started a new knitting project (remember, I've finished two projects lately). Just taking baby steps - learning to use double pointed needles. This will be a drawstring bag.
The next thing I did was finish a BOOK. I highly recommend the series of books written by Laurie R. King, beginning with The Beekeeper's Apprentice. In a nutshell, she has picked up the Sherlock Holmes story where Doyle left off, giving him a young, talented protege named Mary Russell. I've lost count, but I think that there are nine books in the series to date, with another expected in the fall. Read them in order.
After the reading interlude, I went back to the crafting frenzy. I put together another "Rag Bag". I don't think much of charm packs, but one had come into my possession recently, so that's what I used.
While the bag was in the washer/dryer, I had one more thing to tackle. My little recycling project was hanging on the wall and wouldn't take long to machine quilt (only approx. 20" square). I'm thinking about adding a heart in the position shown. Might need to be bigger? Probably.
So, I had some fun on Sunday. After all, it was my day off. I have NO idea why all of these projects are PINK. Now, back to that new quilt top .....
