Crocheting and Sewing

Over Christmas break I made and learned a few things that will keep me busy now that I am finished with school! My sister-in-law, Nichole, has been into crocheting and taught me how. I completed one scarf and I am currently working on my second. It was so much fun--and who knows maybe one day we will make a blanket. You can go to her blog to see more ideas. From Mary, my other sister-in-law, I received a gift card to a fabric store so I decided to purchase a bag pattern and material. For a couple of days Clo, Kim, and I made the bags. They turned out great I think and I got to use some of my new sewing supplies!
I eventually wanted a sewing machine but knew that I probably would not be getting it any time soon. However, My friend, Jenny went to California over the break and brought me back a sewing machine her sister-in-law no longer wanted. I was so surprised and grateful. Burke is happy because now he doesn't have to get me one :)! I can not wait to sew something else! Thanks Jenny and Aaron!
