WIP: Bags

I managed to get up at 9am, rather then 2-3pm, and go shopping with my family in order to find new glasses. I ended up getting two pairs, you know those deals. They are super cute. One is a redish animal print and the other is purple. I am so excited. I'll have to wait for the frames to come in because they where ordered.

Beyond that I played pokemon. I'm getting better at doing a little bit more throughout the night. I no longer do just one thing in a day but I am still behind. Can't win can I? For these bags I still need zippers and I probably won't get them till around the 15th. I also keep putting of the righting I need to do. There is just so much before school starts.

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and I'm scared, nervous, something. I haven't been for the longest time and I am just waiting for bad news. I'm probably over reacting....ok not probably, I am over reacting. There isn't a lot that you honestly couldn't live with as well as live with. Still it isn't a thing that many are comfortable with.

Tools, Storage, and Buttons

Lots and lots of buttons....so much so you will probably think I'm a bit strange. Before that lets look at my yarn stash and where I keep it.
This cedar chest, which makes my yarn smell nice, was picked up at an auction and stuck in my room and left unused for a wile. It was a few months ago that I made up my mind that it would be the perfect spot for my projects. It is a bit too full with yarn to put everything in but that can just be motivation to work more.

This is my everything small tray that goes inside the cedar chest. It is a perfectly handy thing to have and I feel it fits everything nicely. You can see a pair of knitting needles but don't ask me about them I barely know anything about knitting. I will tell you they are size 4 if you are curious. The blue and orange things in the middle are stitch markers. More then likely the best investment I made for crochet. Down a little to the left is the tapestry needles I use. I must admit they waste a good bit of string but they are SO much easier to use then standard sewing needles. The teal thing is a sewing touch up kit for loose buttons and things. My mother gave it to me a very long time ago.

This also reminds me yesterday I talked about my hooks but I forgot to say something. My aunt was the one to give me my first for an H hook but my mom also gave me her F hook. She didn't do too well picking up crochet. I later learned she was using a hook 4 sizes too small for the yarn she was using. XP

I recently picked up another mini sewing kit just to get a few more things on the cheaper side.
And finally my piles and piles of buttons.
I love those little canisters. Kinda wish I had a place to hang them.
