That's an awesome wiggle skirt. I'm not really sure what exactly what a wiggle skirt is.

It looks so much better on than it does on the floor 
A wiggle skirt is a tight skirt that is fitted from usually the hips to the knees with a split in the back so you can walk properly

Wow, people have been busy. Everything looks great.

I'm almost finished with baby blanket I'm crocheting (I just need to do the ruffle), but I ran out of yarn and haven't been able to get to the store yet.

Everyone's got some awesome projects.  Those tunisian dishcloths are awesome.  I've done some tunisian but I can't remember how to do it now.  Maybe I should add that to my list...  "revisit Tunisian Crochet"

I have an embroidery piece that I started last June *FAIL*  I have 5 or 6 things left to complete on it now so hopefully it'll be done soon and I can deliver it to its new home.  I'll try to post pictures this weekend!

bookstorebabe- I love the teapot!
indigo_roses- I love the hat and the blanket (my toddler would have a stain on the hat within the first five minutes)
trinalocakary- You wall of artwork is simply gorgeous!
skittlebub- Your wiggle skirt is fantastic and I am envious of the three Thaumatropes (your stitching is just perfect)!
fantasticmio-Great dishcloths! They are too pretty to use.

Nice stuff everyone!

Skittlebub - I love the fabric for the wiggle skirt and the shorts.

I finished a quilt last night - I'll just have up upload pictures.  Tried to mail it-- got a text from hubby that I had put too many numbers in the zipcode when he tried to mail it    So... maybe I shouldn't label things late at night

Everyone's crafts look so great!!  Love the wall...love the dishclothes...love the shorts....love the hat...love the teapot...

I know I am probably missing A LOT of other's but I love them.

I just sent out a big package for a swap I have been in...glad to have it on it's way.   I will share the goodies once she has received all.

OK...well I hope everyone here is ready for a giggle, a chuckle or maybe even a good laugh. 

This is one of those times and things that if you don't laugh, the frustration just may make you cry.  I have been working on a messenger/laptop bag for my DD's BFF (say that 5 times fast!!)   I have been encountering one issue after another with it and I decided to just bite the bullet and finish it tonight.  Oh how wrong I was to even dream it would be done tonight!!!   I know this particular bag is out to get me.   I have a theory...  One night all of my fabric got together and decided which fabrics would be the Chosen ones to deliver extreme frustration.   Here are the winners!!   As you will soon see that this is NOT a complicated bag nor should it cause me as many headaches as it has but for some reason things seem to go wrong.  In these photos you will see that I am making really simple and stupid mistakes....one right after another.

Here are the photos of Woe....

See...front looks good...right?

The side looks pretty good too...wait...what happened to the handles?   Where did they go??  I know I sewed them in there...somewhere.. .

Oh Look!! I have some how managed to sew this the wrong way!!   It should be inside out and it isn't!!  The handles have been swallowed by the insides of the bag too!!  Gee...try again tomorrow?!?!
