Bags and Bags

I made some bags in hopes of stoking my confidence before starting the Digger quilt in ernest.  The above photo is of today's bag.  It's a little on the heavy side.  The pattern I used called for silk, and I used flannel.  It's pretty cool though.

I haven't washed it yet, so you can still see my chalk lines where I marked the pockets.

The bag from a few weeks ago did not turn out as well.  I think I'll make another and see if I can get it right.  It was pretty defeating.

That's it!  Right behind the Christmas cards in progress.  I didn't take pictures because ...really, it's not pretty, and it should be.

On another note, I made a bunch of Christmas/holiday cards.  They are awesome.  I tried to make them out of scraps, but I also went and got some pretty green and red flannel.  The flannel ones are my favorite.  All of the flannel ones are up at Chain Reaction Records for sale.  I put a few up in my Etsy shop too (not flannel).  I will put them up in this shop when I get a chance.

I finally listened to the Anxious and Angry Podcast #1.  They're up to 35 or so now.  I'm so behind!
