Gorgeous scarf AIMR! Love the color.

The pattern, Simplicity 3670,  is really simple, just a bit more time consuming than I first thought it would be. I want to make another one. http://sewing.patternreview.com/Patterns/18474

Astromommy, love, love the ghostie! The colors you picked to go with it are perfect.

Aw Rantyhippie, what a sweet sweater!

Thanks for the pattern number!  I just love the coverage on top since I think splashes in the kitchen are common!

The baby sweater is precious--can't believe it is your first...what an accomplishment!

Oooh, Skittlebub, do you have a pattern for the nappy wallet? I've no access to my sewing machine, but I'm sure I could bend my mother's arm to make one for me.
I've been wanting one of them for ages, as I just use a plastic shopping bag with everything heaped in together.

[skittlebub]

Not really LOL. It's sort of between A4 & A5 for the base.

I just layed a nappy & the wipes container on a sheet of newspaper &  got a rectangle 17" x 11.5" (inches) for the outer. 2 pieces needed plus I used a layer of calico bewteen them.
For the two pockets I cut 11.5" x 6.5". I cut 4 pieces

I sewed the long edges of the pockets together to make a tube, turned inside out, ironed then topstiched. Then I placed the pockets where I wanted them on the inner piece or the main part & attched on 1 long side only. Then put the other main piece facing  the pockets. Sew around the outside leaving a gap to turn. Turn & iron, then topstitch. Attach whatever fastenings you want. I used velco because it's the quickest & there was some on my sewing table.

Skittlebub; I like your cutlery roll. I should make myself one. Is that a napkin on the other side in white?

[skittlebub]

Yep, it's a mini-napkin. It's slightly smaller than that side of the roll. The leftover pink fabric on one side & calico on the other

skittlebub - love the cutlery roll! I really need one of those - I have random spoons and forks rolling around my bag and I hadn't figured out a way to safely bring a knife! Love it!

I made two necklaces! While they were not on my original list, I am counting them!

Unfortunately, I can't really count either of them for the contest - my birthday is coming up, so they are presents to ME

Unfortunately, I can't really count either of them for the contest - my birthday is coming up, so they are presents to ME 

I just sent off a swap craft this morning, and had the epic run of ladybugs for a present last week, so right now I'm ignoring everything on the immediate to do list and making myself a rainbow scarf. I think it's about time for a present for me. Of course, that is what the dragon bag that I got as far as one leg and a tail was for, but I'm in need of some (somewhat) instant gratification. Hopefully this scarf will be done by tomorrow.

I also love the cutlery roll!  My hubby and I have a joke that we need to bring our our eating stuff when we go to visit my brother...he never seems to have enough for our large family!

I have no idea what a nappy wallet is...is it some sort of pillow for a child?  I just saw an interesting travel bag that kind of looked like that but it had a pocket on the inside to stash crayons and a coloring book for kids traveling...

Dawntrees--you necklaces are lovely! How great to make stuff for yourself...we are always so busy making things that we must not forget ourselves!
