a long time coming

i promised my mom a bag for her birthday last july. i finally came through and created one for her this past week. she is fairly picky, so a lot of time was spent discussing handles, shape, size and color. here is what i came up with


it was a pretty simple pattern, i just kind of made it up as i went along and thankfully it turned out just the right size. the colors are a chocolate brown and chartreuse green (cascade 220). i might put one for myself on my list of to-dos but we'll see.

so now, a whole weekend ahead and my mind is full of projects from the one skein book. i wonder how many i can get done? i might have to go back and forth between those and my newly cast on second elfine sock. come back monday to see what i can manage to whip up! i tell ya my goals are pretty lofty. i might need more shamrock shakes to see me through.

oh and don't forget, all new grey's sunday. i have been listening to their podcasts and reading the blogs over at abc.com. seriously ;) oh yeah, and watching last season on dvd. you know back when mer/der were first hooking up. i realized that my appreciation for sandra oh's character was a little late, she has been fantastic from day one with some of the best one liners in the show. ok, must stop going on about grey's.
