I gotta say, I could totally get used to opening a new present every day that was specially chosen by someone who'd been researching all my likes and loves. It's pretty fun.
This morning (and with a little help from Mr. Right), from the wondrous pile-o-shiny presents, I chose this:
Medium-sized and slightly squishy. Perfect! I was blown away when I opened it up.
It's a handmade project bag! She was even kind (and sneaky!) enough to line it with fabric that I'd mentioned I liked in a comment on her blog.
I'm in love! It's the perfect size, and totally adorable. And did I mention that it has a pocket? It does! With a zipper, even.
I'm terribly impressed with Chrissy's mad sewing skillz. Because really, I couldn't make a pocket with a zipper if my life depended on it. And now I don't have to! Yippee!
Oh, and get this: Inside the pocket? These.
Yep. Handmade stitch markers. AWESOME! Clearly my partner is some sort of superstar swapper and I am one seriously lucky girl. I can hardly wait until tomorrow to see what day 3 brings. But I will. (Am I the only one around here who's totally impressed with my restraint?)
See you then!
PS. I mailed my package out today! Woot! It's winging its way to... well, somewhere... even as we speak. So exciting!
I'm so pleased you have opened this. It means I can blog about the make! Glad you like it. I think I might make myself one to this particular pattern as I am pleased with how it turned out. I must make a note of how it was made before I forget and have to make it up again!
ReplyDeleteWow! The project bag looks great. The zippered pouch is a great idea for all the knitting "bits" that need to accompany a project. I love the stitch markers too. So lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou are a lucky swap participant! The bag even had a zipper? She's a pro!

ReplyDeleteOk, it's a stitch marker kinds of swappy day - those stitch markers are also super. And between the markers and the bag, you're all decked out in wonderful purple. :)
