Now, Day 4 or a Love Song to Stitched by Jessalu

I'm having a lot of fun with the photography apps on my iPhone.  This was taken using lo-mob, which I used to process in some fun ways:

 And a version using the Hipstamatic App that I love.

The gracious model, of course, is my beautiful, useful bucket bag from Stitched by JessaLu. I have two of her box bags, which are perfect for a shawl, potholders, socks, or other smaller projects.  The bucket bag would be great on a spinning wheel, but I like mine hanging off of my loom to hold bobbins and whatnot.  I discovered that the bucket bag is PERFECT for containing a small hairpin lace project.  The HPL loom fits just right along with two to three cakes of yarn and my new favorite crochet hook.

I'm on a mission to bring back the hairpin lace.  It was my gateway craft, learned from my mom when I was a pre-teen.  I've had a hankering for it lately, and I'm thrilled that I'm going to teach a class of basic HPL skills at my LYS this summer.

That's just some of the stuff I'm loving NOW.  What about you?  What stuff are you loving?

  1. I have, errr, several of JessaLu’s box bags but I haven’t gotten a bucket bag yet. I will, though! This is graduation weekend so I’m loving my daughter – but I’m not loving the weather forecast. Think sun for us, okay?

  2. I can’t believe you have already gotten a bucket bag. I ordered the robot one last week. Should be here soon!
    Currently I’m loving the pool. We are members of the local pool and on the hot hot days (which there seems to be many of) – the pool is like heaven!
