i was browsing craftster Saturday and was inspired by the mini bowling bag made by qazicat http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=64535.0
and by the amy butler sophia carry-all http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/products/patterns_display.php?id=35

so i got my fabric on Saturday and spent my entire day sunday drafting a pattern and making the bag.

I'm actually surprised that after staring at it for 12 hours, i actually still like it!

it is 11 inches at its widest point, 7 inches tall and 4 inches deep.



open and empty



my first attempt at a slash style pocket

Let me start off by saying that I am super new to knitting and this is my first post on the knitting boards. (this is also my first object i actually plan to finish)  a cry for help, how sad!    I'm sure it would be a lot easier to find a dropped stitch in person but i thought someone with more experience would be able to see it in a photo.

 I'm pretty sure it was on the row just below my needles because i am an obsessive counter, and i had just counted a few stiches back.   I have no idea what i am looking for and my knitting for dummies book isn't helping me.  I'm fairly, kind of, maybe certian that is is right around my needles somewhere so that is where i took the picture.  if you need a better picture let me know!  I appreciate any help!

It started out as a 12month  hooded sweatwhirt from target.

and it ended up as a zip up for my maltese.

this is the first piece of clothing i've made for him so i took waaayyy too many pictures.

this is Dexter Diablo in his new hoodie!!


















he doesn't mind wearinf it either!!! yay! ...i just wish he was a girl... i reaaaallly want to make him a dress..... 

just thought i would share this with everyone becasue i think it's adorable!

my doggies needed a new toy so i whipped one up.

it's a Hippo!!


(there is already slobber on it...i decided to take a picture of it after i gave it to them  )


and for fun.. the oldest one hoarding it...

I have always carried messenger bags... mainly so i wouldn't sit my purse down somewhere and forget it.

well i decided i needed a real purse.

well here is what i came up with..



a close up of the applique..


now i always have a friend to go dumpster diving with!

i went as Raggedy Anne...

everyone called me Raggedy Angel....(..my real name is angel...)

it's all wrinkly because this pic was taken after working 7 hours in a pet store!

i made the dress and the wig. ..  i also ironed on ALL those damn polka dots.

i loved wearing this! i felt sooo young and spunky!







let me know what you think!

Yea so i just found this section on craftser and decided to post this...

It's 18 in x 15 in..
i did it about 3 years ago and its my most favorite piece of art I have acomplished yet.  Its quite old and not been taken care of so you can see lots of bends in the paper.. try to ignore them



a closer look at the detail toward the bottom..




thanks for looking!

So i was talking with my sister and we were talking about how much haloween rules, and how much it sucks that it only comes once a year. So she says to me " Angel, you should MAKE it come more then once a year."  Sooo...i plan on making it an annual haloween in July thing with a new theme every year.  quentin tarantino was the first suggestion and i wanna stick with it.  I have only just begun thinking of ideas ...and the only one i have come up with is to play lots of music from pulp fiction cause that movie has an awesome soundtrack.  I also want to be able to give the guys ideas as what to dress up as so they don't all dress up as guys from Reservoir Dogs.  Any help will be much appreciated!!!
