New Tablecloth and Napkins

I just finished this tablecloth and napkins, from the fabric I bought with Megan on her visit to DC. (Yay for not going to craft/fabric/knitting stores by myself!)

I'm going to consider this as my project from Joelle Hoverson's Knitted and Patchwork Gifts, although it's simpler than her tablecloth project. This project taught me that baby rickrack is much, much more sinister than it sounds.

new tablecloth, new napkins

The croissant is one of the last that Megan gave me for my wedding. Almost a year in the freezer, yet still so delicious.

Bag from Lotta Jansdotter book

This is the bag I made for Miranda for Christmas. The bottom is wool, the bird embroidered, the dotted fabric is Denyse Schmidt. I'm kind of proud of it, but the photo quality is somehow terrible. Bad things happen when you switch computers.

On my "actually use my crafting books" kick, I give you George the Elephant King (or Georgina, the Elephant Princess."
