…I guess I can blog.  ;o)

Here is your weekly dose of ECF, brought to you by RR (he took this photo last year while manning the booth at his car club’s annual car show):

Can you see how the heat from the cars is making the background all wavy?  Pretty cool…

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Why, sewing box bags, of course. ;o) You know, in order to be a productive SOS sock knitter, you need a pretty bag to put the sock *in*.

Prior to leaving for our overnight camping trip, I decided that I absolutely had to have a new project bag. Didn’t matter that I needed to pack a camper or air out a camper or check to see if a camper was registered (it wasn’t, but that’s another story for another day), I needed a bag and I needed it right. now.

My first attempt was a bit on the wonky side:

Please ignore the computer desk mess…

I didn’t notice how wonky until after I had cut off the excess fabric from boxing the corners which means…there’s pretty much no fixing this bag.  This is how it’s going to look until I have a sewing epiphany and figure out how to make it less…special.

My second attempt came out way better:

See?  No wonky-ness.  This is the bag that I’ve been schlepping since Friday – it even went to Six Flags on Monday.  Want to see what’s in it?

Well…you’ll have to wait.  ;op

p.s.  Thank you for all the lovely birthday wishes!  This has been the best year by far between Plurk wishes, blog wishes and Ravelry wishes.  You all made my day  :o))

So, today is my Mother’s birthday. And as usual, I get to take over the blog and post about it!

Here is this year’s top 5 reasons as to why she’s a great mom and why she deserves this special day:

5. I am 18 and have already graduated and she has yet to kick me out.
4. She likes and gets along with Whipping Boy!!
3. She’s my mom but she is also my friend.
2. She’s trusting me to stay home alone for a whole week and a half. Not that I’m going to be partying. lol. It’s a small town, everybody knows everyone and trust me, word gets around. Plus, we have people who stop by and check up on me to see how I’m doing.
1. She helps me out and is there for me when I need her.

SOOO…HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! I HOPE THAT IT’S AN AWESOME ONE FOR YOU!!!
