election day blues

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

I’m pretty sure at least half of the country will be sad tonight because their candidate didn’t win. I’m just sad that one of my favorite journalists won’t be here to report on the results. I miss him and his white board. He would have loved all of this!

i made it myself: custom laptop bag

I love this bag. It was a little challenging because it wasn’t felted. It was a custom order from an etsy member and the size she wanted was the exact size of the original sweater. I used every last bit of wool to complete it.

She sent me her own lining fabric, which was beautiful. I also used the hand-embroidered sleeve stripes as the strap.

This was another bag that was hard to let go. You can see all the pics over on etsy.

Next up on the handmade agenda: a custom baby blanket. In the meantime, did you make something yourself? Post it here!
