I hate unpacking! I've spent my evening unpacking from my vacation. Three loads of laundry later, I'm writing this post. My vacation was great. It wasn't, however, low-key as originally planned. We were on the go nearly the entire trip! It was a lot of fun, but now I'm afraid I need another vacation just to recuperate from this one!
I had planned to get in some sewing on my vacation and even brought my sewing machine with me. Alas, I didn't get much done other than these few bag pieces, which I pieced and machine "free" embroidered.
I will use each piece as the "fronts" of zippy bags. I didn't get the bags themselves completed, but plan on working on them, and others, as soon as I get my trip "stuff" organized and put away. I did accomplish one goal on the trip.....I finished knitting the scarf I started months ago! I worked on this scarf almost every time I rode in the car and finished it during the ride home yesterday. Here are a few more views.
I still can't remember the name of this lace stitch, but it was pretty easy...just time consuming. I wrote a post detailing the pattern and the yarn I used in March. I think it turned out really pretty and the organic yarn is scrumptious. I am also really pleased that I actually finished this project. Here's a secret....I am notorious for not completing knitting projects I start! Don't tell.
The dryer is buzzing, time to put another load in. Keep in touch...I will be posting the details for July's Dress Up. Here's a hint: Think 4th of July! Oh, and I will post some more vacation pictures...one of them may even involve me and a hula hoop!
Tootles!

Great scarf...great color!Isn't it great to be able to post a finish...I have so many projects going...sometimes it makes me crazy!
I love the scarf! how pretty! I usually need a vacation to recover from the vacation too especially if I went with Mom. We never stop when I am with her. I am so glad you had a good time! I think we always think we have more time on vacations than we really do!

Hi Angi, glad you had fun on your trip. I too am making some zippy bags from the pattern I have as bridesmaid gifts (making 10) hope goes well cause I have never done a zipper. Then the bride wants me to embroider each persons name on the bags.
Love your artsy applique!

Love that lacy pink scarf! It looks so soft and pretty. I really like openwork stitches like that.
