My Sarabell Bag is Finished!!

My Sarabell Bag is Finished!!

Well lets say its sort of like the Sarahbells bag. The one on SarahSweetHearts.blogspot.com doesn't have a handle just a button for the closure. I was pondering the idea of just adding a wooden handle to it but decided just to add a crocheted handle to the bag. This bag in perfect for some of my smaller crocheting projects. It beats caring around a ugly Walmart bag!

All I did was add six single crochet rows above the two dbl crocheted rows. I chained twelve and skipped fourteen singles crochets for the openings on both sides. You could make them large or small don't think the size really matter just what ever you want for your bag. So far it is prefect!! but will have to make one larger so I can carry more yarn in it when I'm working on a larger crochet project.

Right now I'm starting on a bag designed by Cindy Adams called Windmill Bag,I found the pattern in Crochet! September 2010. It is four rectangular strips joined in a pinwheel pattern and conected to together with a single crochet. The bag the she has designed is really pretty, has bright colors. She used a medium worsted weight wool/silk yarn and medium worsted weight wool yarn. But again I'm being different I'm using something that I can throw in the washer if I want or need to. Plus I not all that keen on bright colors for me. So I'm using Sugar'n Cream Naturals, Sonoma print. It is a 4 ply cotton yarn. I really like working with this yarn.

Sarahbells Bag

I couldn't sleep so was web surfing one night found this really great blog. She has tons of different patterns. I love blogs like this. I found this really cute pattern for a bag, so I have started crocheting a new bag.The bag can made so many different ways small to a large bag. They one that she has on her blog has a button to close the bag , but I'm thinking of buying a wooden handle for mine. I plan to make a smaller bag for my loose items that I will be carrying in it. this pattern is free to download and is easy to make. I used Sugar' n Creams yarn in warm brown. I can't wait till it is all finished. I hope to buy my handle for the bag this weekend so I can start using it.

This is what it looks like right now. Will post a picture of the finished bag.

You can get the pattern for the bag at SarahSweetHearts.blogspot.com.

Spring Flower Festival at Kingwood Center

A Day at Kingwood Center

Ahhhhhh finally no rain, a little sunshine just enough to make it nice out. Perfect day to go to the Spring Flower Festival 2011 at Kingwood. All the tulips and other spring flowers are coming up. I think that the tulips will be up for mothers day at Kingwood! That is what Kingwood is famous for.

While we were walking around looking at all the activities I saw my granddaughter Brooklynn she was with her great grandma and great aunt. Then I saw my daughter in-law and grandson Evan. I also saw some people that I work with. Guess quite a few people were taking advantage of the nice weather.

My Husband belongs to an orchard club. They had some flower for sale there.I think that they probably sold almost all of them. Many other plant clubs were there selling there plants. At the end of the month there will be a perennial sale I usually I try to make that sale.Hopefully I wont have to work that day.

A couple had two Alpaca's. They are so cute! A lady was spinning alpaca yarn. She dyes the yarn herself. The yarn is so soft. Just wish it wasn't so expensive. Would love to work with some.

After we saw the alpacas there was a male Peacock over by one of the buildings. They are so beautiful! Of course my husband thought he could make a sound so the bird would show his feathers off. I don't know who this man is that is standing by me !!! LOL Of course the Peacock just walked away from us ! :)

I went to the greenhouse they always have tons of plants for sale. House plants and flower bed plants. I bought a little daffodil for me and an Asian Lilly for my mother, for mothers day.

After we got home I did start digging up some of my plants that have gotten to big. started dividing some of them up giving some away that I don't have room for. Still have more to dig up probably will do that this week end. Cant wait to see what our back yard will look like this summer.
