Dress Revised

When I went to Arizona last week for vacation I took a lot of the gifts that I have done. It feels good to have half of Christmas done all ready. I returned again and again to the little dress that I had made and decided that I really didn't like the crocheted flowers on it. They were too clunky. I went to the dollar store instead and bought some artificial flowers. I couldn't believe that I found the same shade of purple. I cut a couple of them off and sewed them on. I thought that they looked much better.

While I was down south I went to a couple of yarn stores. I found the yarn that I am going to use on one of the felted bags I am doing. I bought two skeins of dark brown and ecru and am going to manually stripe it. I found 3 skeins of yarn for the ties that I want to do for the guys in the family. Got to the register and it was $78. Even though I could have done it I decided not to while on vacation. I bought the yarn for the bag and one of the skeins for the ties. I will have to get more tie yarn later when it is in the budget.

I did a lot of knitting in the car and while we were visiting. I got one of the bags done, but kept having to take the one I designed out. My mom said I was never going to get it done. I don't know what the issue was. Concentration I guess.
