Box Bag Bonanza ! ! !

Hello, Everyone,
how are you doing?
Hope all are doing well this past week and that you've had lots of time for relaxation midst  your summer activities.

U*U*U*U*U*U*U*U 

Finished the Blue Floral Box Bag
a good-sized project bag for sox.
 zipper:  Sullivans  'MAKE-A-ZIPPER'  a 5½ yard roll + 12 zipper pulls 
purchased online at Create For Less

Then came my Færie Box Bag
just 'bout right size to hold a shawl project.
zipper:  double-ended sport zipper
which I cut to size, leaving another zip a couple of inches longer than the first for another box bag

And,
a Pink Rose Floral Box Bag perfecto for any sized knitting project, 
just because  :^) I love this print!

zipper: 'Make-A-Zipper' on a roll comes in many colors - some in LOUD Brights

All made from STASH fabric, zippers and beads
so no need at all to shop.

Oh, you can bet, 
I've been knitting!
Progress on Blueberry Vodka Lemonade Sweater
as of Monday.

Lots of progress since -
but haven't taken time out from knitting to do photos.
Will attempt to get a good shot over the weekend.


Am also, working on my Franklin's Journey.
Once, again, I'm further along than this pic but added this one just 'cause I this colorway.

I have completed the shawl body portion and have begun the charcoal grey border.

Our temps have cooled - 
down to the 90s with low humidity.  
Feels dry.

It's mid-July, summer's in full swing.

Not certain how veggie gardens are fairing 
with our dry season, 
but there's certainly been enough sunshine!

Now that our temps have dropped from the 100s
Hubby and I will be having our coffee outside in the shade.

    1. Ivy, I've been knitting like a mad woman trying to finish the body so I can p/u the sleeves.
      Last night my eyes were crossed by the time I went to sleep.
      Camp Loopy keeps me busy, that's for certain.

  9. Don't you love those box bags? I'm going to make more but not sure when. I really Love BVL; it's going to be fantastic when it's finished. And I just had to smile when I was FJ again. I bet that gray border will set it off. Great job on everything (as usual)
