Laptop Sleeve

We're going on vacation soon.  I'm typically a light packer. But I've realized that it's not so much clothing I need space for, but my computer, camera, lenses, iphone.....

So rather than carry my laptop bag, I made my computer it's own, little pouch.

I almost can't wait to whip this out at security...I can hear the ooohs and aaahs already.

My little assistant was smitten with the colors as well.  I had to remind him that this is mommy's toy.

I used this tutorial for the measurements, but ended up putting it together more like my diaper sleeve.  

Stay tuned for my KNITerview at Made by Rae next week. 


Happy weekend!

Have you Heard the News.....KNITerviews

If you haven't been over to Made by Rae recently, you need to head over!  She's featuring a series of interviews about sewing with knits. 

 

My KNITerview will be up next week, so stay tuned.  I'm hoping to put together a few tutorials to go with the series....so I better go work on that :)

Have a wonderful weekend and be sure to stop by next week.

Peppermint Marshmallows

I have always wanted to try making homemade marshmallows.  So this year, as a gift for all the teachers at my kids' preschool, I decided to pack up some peppermint marshmallows with cocoa.

I used this recipe.

They are very easy to make and are really yummy in a cup of cocoa.

I swirled in some red food coloring just after pouring the mix into the pan.

I may have gone a little overboard on my packaging, but it was so fun!

Fluffy, minty, yumminess.  These chocolate marshmallows are next.
