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?
