I was in PEI last week and had a chance to visit a beautiful shop in Charlottetown called Emmett and Ellie's. The whole store is full of locally made products, and I found this awesome wood tray there (I think I need and intervention when it comes to buying wood trays and furniture, but I mean look at it, how could I leave it there?). I plan on filling it with greeting cards but for now have the list takers there that I made this week as well.
I bought some lovely cream Eco Wool at LK yarns last week and made this cowl with it. I used the Gap Tastic Cowl pattern found on Ravelry, but just made it 8 inches instead of 15 inches wide. I'm pretty short, so thought the extra big cowl might look a little funny on me. Just in time for a new scarf, today was a snow day and the temperature has been really cold!! Linking today to The Needle and Thread Network.
Robin's Egg Blue 
So, it's hard to photograph this, but I was asked to make a black messenger bag that would fit a musical instrument, laptop, and other smaller items. It measures about 25 inches wide, so rather large! I used the same black fabric for the inside as well, put a zippered pocket on the inside, a zippered pocket on the flap, as well as 2 pockets in the lining. The back of the bag has one large pocket, and the strap is adjustable. I learned lots of new things on this bag, as well as figuring out a pattern since I couldn't find any the size I needed. Anyhow, hope this works out for the person who wants it!!
A little card for my bestest friend who is celebrating her birthday today!! All stamps and paper is by Stampin Up! Love that chevron embossing folder.
This is a new stamp that I just ordered from Stampin Up! It's a background stamp called Pleasant Poppies, and is quite a pretty stamp once colored. This card will soon be on it's way to my Aunt who lives in Montreal. She shares the same birthday as my oldest daughter! 
I made this apron today, it's the Emmeline reversible apron pattern that I have used many times before! The light is fading fast, but wanted to photograph it today anyhow. It's fun to do something a little different now and then, I've been making so many scarves lately that I really needed a change before returning to them! 
What do you do with 15 minutes of craft time? Well, I was going to iron the backing for my quilt, but when I plugged in the iron, discovered it was totally dead! Will have to replace it tomorrow. So, I still wanted to get my crafty fix for the day, and have wanted to make a few sets of note cards for my stash. I used this set from Stampin Up! and made 4 matching cards, packaged them together with envelopes with some awesome orange bakers twine.
I have my blocks pieced together into a top, courtesy of yesterdays snow day. This is half of the top, its folded over so it ended up being 4 squares across and 5 down. Anyhow, I wasn't intending to put a border on it, but now am thinking of just a small, maybe 2-3 inch border with the kona ash. Any opinions out there from my fellow quilters?
Hooray! I've started piecing a new baby quilt. This will be a gift for my husband's business partner. They are expecting their 2nd child in May, trying to go for gender neutral, and I've been hoarding this toadstool fabric for just the right quilt. Had lots of time to piece my HST's over the storm weekend. All the blocks are done, just have to sew them into rows and decide if I want to border it or not. I don't want the quilt to be large, rather to be used in the stroller or car seat.
My oldest daughter wanted to make some special Valentines Day cards for her grandparents, and this is what we came up with during yesterdays snowstorm. They turned out so cute that I wanted to share them on my blog, I think she did a great job. She must get her craftiness from her father...
Friday, I had a workshop and we made these 4 cards, plus one more that I will also be making for the Stamp-a-Stack in Windsor on April 14th, so I want to keep that as a surprise for now! Anyhow, all the items used are Stampin Up! I was supposed to have one more class yesterday but with this nasty snowstorm I postponed it until next Saturday. Let's hope that's it for storms for this year! I have started a new quilt that will be a gift for a friend who is due in May, I will be sharing that later in the week, when the top is all pieced.
