Poofs, puffs, and bags

Very punchy today ... please forgive me. I just had one of those weekends were you just fudge around, do the few things that HAVE to be done, and hit Monday thinking "what on earth did I do?" Oops.

I did make two of Natalie's Econo-Shopper. Both in sugar 'n cream, both the small size - it took me a little to figure out how to form the bag - frogged the handle once, oiy - but I love the end result. My apologies for the poor picture, my flash isn't working - need to get my NEW camera fixed - grrr.

Filled with yarn - well, half filled with yarn; there are 11 balls of sugar 'n cream in it, it could have held twice as much easily. Amazing how much they can hold!

Today marked my first venture into making stitch markers - thanks to the findings Deneen sent, and some beads that I had (purchased a while ago for some forgotten project), I made these. Obviously a few kinks to work out, but I like them. :)

I also tried the Rose Bath Pouf at Crochet Me! - sorry no link, I can't get the page to come up, I'll try and add it later. And yes, I know that roses aren't blue.

And after reading on Drew's (The Crochet Dude) blog about Stuff on My Cat, I had to test the theory on my long suffering kitty.

She didn't move, not even an ear or whisker twitch. Interesting ...

Oh - a side note to my Secret Pal, and anyone else who may like to leave me anonymous comments - I've switched my settings to registered users only, and added word recognition; I've had a lot of problems with spam the last few weeks, every post has had at least one anonymous post. I can still be contacted through my email. Sorry for the inconvenience.
