Postcards from the Road




Today is my road warrior friend's birthday. I CONVENIENTLY forget how old she is now. Not to spare her, mind you, but because she is the youngest of our little group!

Our little group of Rah's live vicariously through her adventures atop Harley. (Doesn't that sound dirty?!)

She bought a Harley (or two) a year or so ago and travels around...satisfying one goal last year to bike across the US on a wildly short whirlwind of a vacation.

I just love the excitement of knowing that she's out there on a bike, troubles, anxieties, and stresses BEHIND her, kicking up the dust, and avoiding bugs and various other critters flying into her fairing (mouth)! It's a delight to me, who sits most days in front of this computer, making charts for bitter, old, corporate uptights. Oh, oops...I'm starting to sound bitter like them, eh?

As a contribution to her whiles, I created this Post Card Bag, so that when she stops for a bite, dip, nap, or drink (gasp), she has on hand a post card or two that she can send us to give update on her most recent adventure. I tried to keep the overall package small, because she is always short on space for luggage.

Psst...Don't ask her about the underwear....Well, I take that back...Do! (It's hysterical to those of us that hike and have similar issues.)

Anyway, she should be receiving this soon, but late - in my usual fashion. While I finished it Sunday, I just mailed it last night. Ah so...Isn't it grand? I really had fun putting this together. If I ever get a bike (much to my daughter's chagrin) I will definitely make a few of these to tote with me! (Because this laptop WON'T be going...who wants tie-man asking me to update a flow when I'm busy looking cool in my leathers!)

Warm Little Sweetness

I must admit that I have become quite fond of making little bitty sweaters.   It all started on a recent trek to India traveling for business. I needed to carry just enough yarn to keep my busy bee hands occupied during the evenings in my hotel room. There are just so many hats a person can make, right?  Anyway, having limited quantities of yarn, I decided to give a small sweater a go.  This is the first one I created. I had just the perfect little buttons to add! (It really is amazing what one might find in their cosmetic bag) I love it.  This sweater is also featured on the Pinque Peacock blog   since I used her buttons.  (Go visit and see the buttons up close) This makes the sweater a really one of a kind project! This next one is perfect for a little preemie.  It's so tiny, but features a great big snowflake! Close up of the snowflake…. I also sewed on one of the StampinUp! Frosted Finishes Embellishments.  I think it finished it off nice
