So I have been doing a few small crafting projects. While I was on Orcas in July I got a little toy loom and had at it. I made a piece of cloth and folded it and sewed it up to make a little coin purse. On Friday I finally got the zipper put in: 
I decided to knit up another fun little mini from Knitty: It's a little jug or vase. About 3 inches tall:
On Monday of last week Andrew came over and we felted some more soap...one for me and one for him:
Oh and I have made progress on Jake's socks too:
In other news, we are having a second showing of the house tonight to some folks that looked at it last Tuesday. The agent called me this morning and asked if she could show my house again this evening and said, "It's to the same people, they are very close to making an offer but wanted to see the house one more time." So fingers crossed we might be able to unpack our lives soon!
I couldn't get the idea of a knit bikini out of my head after your comment, so I made a littly tiny one, here is a pic for scale with my cell phone as a guage (phone is 3.5 inches on the long side):
So that was fun and took about 20 minutes. The other day I decided to do another fun quick project that also took about 20 minutes, I felted some soap. It's a fun way to gussy up the soap and it's like having a built in wash cloth that you can use as a tub cleaner once the soap gets used. This is a great one for kids - everyone can have their very own bar. If anyone wants instructions post in the comments and I'll put a pictoral tutorial together. It's softer than a nylon loofa but still does some exfoliating.
