Here is a pic of the Best Fabric Ever!! Yep, this is the pj fabric. I did not have a lot of time this weekend, but I did manage to have time to adjust the pattern and get it cut. Tomorrow will be crotch day, yes the day I will sew the crotch (get your minds out of the gutter) and hopefully the side seams and legs also! I also have leftovers so I should be able to make a few bags and maybe a pillow or a little skirt for Lizzie! Seriously, have you ever seen such wonderful fabric (I think they used my Lizzie as a model, what do you think?)

Great Pattern for sewing Sock Bags!
I found a great tutorial on sewing sock bags! It is super simple and the bags turn out great! I have been playing with different sizes and changes to where the drawstings come out. I am planning on making these bags to hold the Harry Potter goodies for when the next movie comes out. I found some great material, I will try to post a pic of it when I finish one. Here is the basic shape of the bag, the picture is taking from the tutorial:
On a different note, I am a little scared to go to work today being it is the April Fools Day. Hopefully, it will be a quiet day at Azkaban! Wish me luck!
EDIT: I totally spaced puttng the link to the tutorial, so here it is:

RAoKarific!
I just received THE MOST AMAZING RAoK ever!! Thank you Clara Clavenhoof! The box was so big and contained so many gifts, I seriously thought it was my swap package. I did not relize it was a RAoK until I found the note on the bottom of the package. Not only did I have wonderful things sent to me, but she also included gifts for my dogter!! So here is my loot:
Clara is quite the stalker! She knew exactly what to get me. Look at the seeds she gave me (how did you know that tomatoes and white bunching onions are my FAVORITE veggies?) And no worries about zones, they will grow wonderfully down here!
Here is the owl she made for me!! No you can not have him, he is all mine and will soon be joining the Owlery (after he gets a little rest).

It is so big that I had to split the goods into two seperate posts. Keep reading and drooling below!
RAoKarific Part 2!
This is the gorgeous bag she made for me and my first ever row counter! Love the Slythern colors!
Clara said she did not know what type of treat my dogter would like. Judging from the drool spot (see bottom of pic) and how fast she ate it, I think she did very well!
