Weekly Sew-a-long Challenge!

I belong to a discussion board for crafting/sewing, & this past week we decided we would do a weekly challenge or "sew-a-long". We'll be given 2 options each Monday to choose from & we should have our project completed by the following Sunday. I'm really excited, as this should get me sewing more.

This week our options are either a crochet hook case/roll or a sewing machine cover. I'll be doing the crochet hook case, as I was thinking of doing one anyway & I don't need a sewing machine cover. I haven't chosen if I'll follow a tutorial or just wing it, but if I do a tut, it will either be this one or this one.

Another fun note is that my friend Michelle is going to try & find some time for our Sewing Extravaganzas again! I really enjoy being able to sew with her, and it gives us some time to spend together. I can't wait until we can finalize the plans on this.

Also, I know I still owe you a Boyfriend's Hat, but I have to admit that it's going to be awhile longer. It's very time consuming & I'd like to give time to some of my other craft things. So, for now, it's on hold. On the upside, I was able to pick up some $2 picture frames from Target that were in need in saving. I also made my way back to Michael's for some more yarn, paint, and a $0.01 roll of ribbon (man I really wish I had grabbed a couple more when I had the chance, but I didn't know the price until I was at the register). More about this weekend's booty to come!
