Craft room update

Lets think of this as the Before picture/ unpacking!!!
So many boxes and I think there may be even more in there today! Can't wait to organize and get things put away so i can work on my big spring project. I am hoping to add more lamps for better lighting and hang up artwork I have collected.  
Hope to show more photos soon! 
Here is my awesome Valentine I made for my best friend. Cat calendars!

Knitting project bag No. 2

I love this print!
I made another project bag! See a few posts back for the link to the tutorial by Very Shannon. They are so quick and this one was a lot of fun. The lining is from an old dress shirt. The outer fabric I bought at Fabric Depot. I folded over grossgrain ribbon and sewed it. Fray check for the ends!

This week.

Just wanted to share what I have been working on. Making more curtains and I even made curtain ties for the little bedrooms.  I had just enough fabric. 
I need to hem our bedroom curtains, and hem sheers I got at Ikea for our sliding glass door. They had tabs and so I removed them and will use that end to fold up for the bottom hem. 
Started some socks. A very basic pattern. The yarn is Moonshadow colorway by Black Trillium Fibers. I was not sure if I had enough yardage, so yesterday I bought some basic black yarn to do heels & toes. I also bought the Fish Lips Kiss heel pattern on Ravelry for $1 because I have heard so much about that pattern and would like to try it. I currently have 1 cuff all the way done and am almost done with the 2nd cuff. I am taking turns working on both so hopefully i will not run out of yarn. Or at least will run out at the same spot.

Here is some other yarn. I do have a project in mind but more about that later.
Today I may sew another knitting project bag.  Also I am cutting out some quilt triangles. I would love to start on a sock heel if i have time!
