Lora's Keyhole

Long post here...might wanna grab a drink. And don't forget to check the mini-contest at the bottom of the blog!! Ya gotta do it!

So I've finished the knitting part of the Bar Harbor Shell bag. I have felted the bag and I cord handles (thank you Gina! She knit one of the i cords for me) Now to line it (I think) and attach the handles...I think. I say I think because I had a dream about the handles last night. I was in a car with Donna (blogless sadly) and Heather and we were talking about the bag and handles. Donna had found some CUTE handles...$40 for the pair!!!!!!! Ack In your dreams (or rather mine!)!! You're kidding..can you say HELLO I-CORD HANDLE!!!??? Below is the bag after felting.

It has also been a not so fun end of the week for Mr. Bean. Poor Nathan...this kid is going to grow up to be so dang tough with all he is going through!! This week we've been battling the "itchies". He has had an allergic reaction to something. The pharmacist says, "All I can offer is my sympathy." And he suggested oatmeal baths too. Nathan's been a trooper. When he starts itching he ask for a bath and then the calamine lotion. Let's hope this leaves soon, poor little tyke! Please send Nathan "get well" vibes!!I also had a FUN mail day yesterday! BEADS!! yes I said Beads...Just as good as Yarn!! I know Manchgirls...don't gasp and swoon, I'm not leaving ya'll!! This was from a Beads For Birthday program I signed up for on All About Beads. My mystery pal sent me all these goodies!! I've already put the orange beads to action for Mamarox's Beaded Face swap!! Thank you mystery pal!!! :) There were also some knitting accessories that didn't make the picture! I was so excited about them they went in my knitting bag quickly so I didn't lose them. And finally a game.... Sonya tagged me so I guess I should play :) Looks like Fun!
