I've been working on this second market bag since I came home from work today. So that's what? About 3 hours!! But, I was determined to finish this today so that I could move on!!
And here it is--Lindsay's second market bag:
I like the design of this bag--it actually has a rectangular bottom so that items can lay flat in it. A big thank you to Cathy Phillips of CAP's Crochet for designing both of the market bags that I've made.
Let's see........what should I make next? I know!! I think my son is feeling left out!! He has been seeing me make Christmas presents for the girls, and he did ask me a few days ago what I was making him. I asked him what he would like, and he really didn't know. I suggested a knit hat since he does deliveries on the weekend. It's been pretty cold out lately, and it's just going to get colder!! So, a hat it is for him!! He was agreeable to this and would like this made in black--a plain hat, he says.
That will be the next project on the needles!!
Just a reminder--I'll be posting my item for the Holiday Expo at Internet Cafe on Thursday morning. You can check out the details about this here. If you'd like to participate, be sure to link up with Mr. Linky on Thursday!!
My "Gratitude Journal" is going along well. I'll be posting what I've been thankful for also on Thursday with Sonya's Thankful Thursday!!
Whew!! Thursday is going to be a busy day!!
K--that's all for a while!! I have more knitting to do!!

I was visiting Sonya last week at Truth 4 the Journey. She mentioned visiting Cheryl Barker. So, I went to visit her, too. (Yes, I get around, don't I?)
I liked the name of Cheryl's blog right away--Cheryl's R & R--getting REAL--being REFRESHED. Boy, do I need that!!
So, as I was reading she was describing her "Gratitude Journal", and I loved the idea of this. But, then, I was thinking to myself--"I do a lot of journaling already--when am I going to fit this in?"
It sounded important though--this "Gratitude Journal", so I continued reading. It's not so complicated--one little journal, the date and one thing, just ONE thing you were thankful for that day.
And then take a little time to thank God for whatever you wrote down.
Now, I know that I have had some bad days sometimes. But, think about it--focusing at the end of the day on just one thing that you were thankful for--maybe the beauty of the sunrise that morning, maybe something someone said to you, maybe the fact that God loves you--the thankfuls are endless!And, it just so happens that I received my birthday package from my youngest in Texas the beginning of the week. Guess what she sent me?
Yes, she sent me this beautiful journal!! I always use composition books--like the ones we had in first grade, and they would be fine for this, also. But, a brand new beautiful journal to start my beautiful "Gratitude Journal". How exciting!! If you would like to read more about this, please visit Cheryl--let her know what you think of her idea. Personally, I love it, and I'm going to start tonight!!
