This looks better

When I tried this shawl yesterday the center point moved. Today I said let me try putting the first marker on the last stitch and the second marker on the first stitch and my center point is still in the center.

Since I am back from the beach I got my hair pressed and curl.  Took a picture before she trimmed it. She did not trim much. I dilusionly thought it  was going to be longer but I am happy. Next goal armpit length! Happy hair journeys.

Double worsted cotton project

I killed two cones had a great time at it to.

Pretty pretty yarn

This is the double worsted I got from gate city yarn. You see I killed the first cone making a shopper. I am going to demolish the second cone make a striped bag. The plan for the striped bag is to do at least 31 rounds maybe more if it is not big enough. I am trying to make beach bags. Got to get a j hook then I can start my bag. I am going to do a cording type handle on the striped bag. I am excited!

Playing in makeup

The  kids were sleep so I decided to play in some makeup. I hadn't open any of the makeup I bought couponing so I decided to give it a go. I ended up using eyeshadow I already had playing with the color combinations. I like the way it came out.

Esperanza

I might rock this tomorrow not  really sure. Finding difficult to style my hair. Too long for styles I am used to and not long enough for styles I want. Nappy as all get out. I comb it to the front it beats me to the back. A puff is about the best I can do for now. I need to braid it up and throw a wig on. The plan is to press it next month. I have to make it through this month. I  will. It is growing pretty well. Can't wait to see it pressed.

Hats

I made two hats while listening to book two of song of fire and ice. The baby is going to be ready come winter. This hat matches his winter coat.  The other is blue matches a cowl I made for myself. I get much knitting done while listening to audio books.

Striped clutch

The bag came out great. I love the pockets. I reall like the grey trim. And the smaller two fits my phone just right. I need a key fob for my zipper so I do not have to hunt for each time. I forgot to put interfacing in the lining it is so flimsy. I was pressed to finish it so I could wear it with my preppy look. I still have some loose threads here and there but overall I like it. I have a large black nylon crochet striped bag in the making just need one more ball of yarn. That bag with my maxi dress a braid out and black sunnies. Man o man!

Preppy

Striped clutch

Man  it took me like four tries to get this zipper right but  I  did it stick a little but I don't care. Going to wear with my preppy look. Leon has a purple black and grey tie I cannot wait to rock this! I still need to sew up the sides but I am still going to wear it. Now to finish my other clutches for the summer. I also know I can put a zipper in my aqua bag.

Not bad

I gotthe zipper it is much better tan the last time I still did it wrong though. I was supposed to put the zipper on before I sew up the sides? Better luck next time.
