I managed to get in a bit of craftiness this weekend. I only have the bottom 5 inches of ribbing to finish on my cami, so it looks like I might get to wear it in Vegas after all. But why is it that the last bits of ribbing seem to take forever? I also decided to make a purse for myself. How nice it was to make something for me, yay. I had bought this fabric a few weeks ago, and I fell in love with it even though it is something I usually would look right past. It is bold that is for sure.

I spent sometime working out a few things in this pattern. I also interfaced every piece of outside fabric, and I love the results. I also pleated the bottom seam a bit, which makes the purse sits up instead of flopping over. So now I have a summery purse for my trip. I am excited to make some more of these next week.

I finished my mix cd swap f.i.n.a.l.l.y. They are off to there owners today. My home printer is covered in fabric and even if I could get to it, I think it is out of ink. So instead of printing out labels I decided to hand make some with the sewing machine. One of my favorite parts of the Cd's I have received so far is the covers, so I tried to make some cool ones. Here is the track listing:

• Ghost Mountain -The Unicorns
• California- Low
• Fake Plaindromes- Andrew Bird
• 1st Instant/Last Report- Earlimart
