What I've been up to

I just joined Ravelry. That means, of course, that I've been doing no knitting whatsoever. Just sewing. Lots of sewing. I've been making little sundresses for myself that I can wear this summer when our adventure in New Mexico starts (more about that later). I've also been making stuff for other people.
This is a purse that I made for my sister for her birthday. In real life, it's a little more purple than blue. The handles were handmade by my dad. Cool, huh?
It's lined with icy blue on the inside, because that's one of her favorite colors. I hope she likes it!
Then I made these coasters. These are for Liv and Kacy who liked the set I made for my mom (and still haven't sent). I still haven't sent Karen's present either. Hmm, maybe I should get myself to a post office. The coasters are from Last Minute Quilted Gifts, a book that possessed Ashley and I before she moved. Such big plans.
Then I made this teensy tiny dress for my niece. It's made of super thin cotton so she won't get too hot this summer. I can't believe that this dress could possibly fit a human. I'm pretty sure my Cabbage Patch Kid would be comfortable in it. Next up, sunhats and bloomers for the prettiest baby ever.
