my cousins and their smiles...

... and their Sophie Bags! 

These beautiful girls are my cousins. Not only are they my family,

but they are always so willing and ready to test anything that I come up with!

The Betty pouches were just a little bit of a thank-you + hugs I sent along with the bags. 

(If you want to make your own Betty pouches, you'll find the pattern in here!)

So thankful for these girls and their big smiles! 

Love you, Faith & Hannah!

an afghan pillow.

I had just finished making an afghan for my sister and had just a little bit of yarn left.

I decided that I'd go ahead and whip up a baby size afghan with the left over yarn. 

However.

This happened. 

Another sister asked if I'd mind making a pillow size afghan and using it as the front for a pillow.

Very clever, Sister!

That got my wheels to turning.

Then I ran out of yarn and the baby afghan was too much of a baby size even for a baby.

So. I swallowed. 

And cut into my tiny finished afghan to fit a pillow form. 

I actually love how it turned out!

I sewed tassels in each corner and put in my first ever zipper-like-this. 

It matches the sister's afghan and she likes it. 

Yay! 

Now another sister wants one.

I think I'll be doing this a lot.
