Bright Birthday Wishes!

Hello

and

Happy Weekend to y'all!

I apologize in advance,

this post is a bit picture heavy,

SORRY! 

As always I had a hart time picking 

which pictures to post,

so they all ended up on the blog, LoL.

Anyway, I was in a bit of a pickle last week,

realizing while turning the page of my 

monthly birthday calendar,

I almost forgot a birthday in the first week of March.

I hate when I do this,

but with a bit of luck and

one of my favorite go to knitting projects

I got the gift done just in time! 

"Fallmaschenloop" or I call it "Summer Shawl" in progress.

The pattern is quick and easy, a day or 2...

 ... and you end up with a soft and light weight shawl you can 

wear well into the summer.

Sorry, the PATTERN is in German. 

 I used Loops & Threads yarn,

 Elegance in color Jewel.

But any yarn will do, 

it really depends on your preferences. 

 Of course I had to fancy up the gift.

Bow made with my bow-maker.

 And the matching gift bag in

different shades of yellow...

 ... for a 

"Bright Birthday Wish".

I used the same Spellbinder dies as in the

"Everything Purple" gift bag.

I'm getting a bit hooked on making my own gift bags,

not a bad thing so, since I'm using most of my

scraps and odds and ends I have laying around on them.

I know all the tones of saved bits and pieces of

paper and ribbon were good

for something one day!

Are you a paper/ribbon hoarder too?

Thanks for stopping in,

I hope I got you inspired to create something 

with your bits and pieces,

maybe a "Gift Bag"?

Have a wonderful creative weekend!
