Goodies and Badies

Picked up the mail yesterday and stuffed in amid all the junk mail was a wonderful surprise. I mean, sure I knew they were coming, but I had no idea how much I'd love them!
Two box bags from JessaLu! On the left is Alexander Henry - Citrus and on the right is Heather Baily - Pop Garden Daisy Rose. I've wanted one of these forever and finally, after seeing Margene's new one, caved. Could be a new addiction. Aren't the spring-like and beautiful?
I'm particularly fond of JessaLu's signature "bee" charm on the zipper pull of her bags. "Deborah" is the Greek name for bee. I've always had a thing for bees. Kind of seems like these were made for me.
So what's in the bags? The most complicated way ever to make two socks at one time. But that's a story for another day.

Those bags could be totally addictive.

Did I ever tell you that Sylvia Plath wrote a cycle of poems about bees?

I'm finding out you can never have too many different sized bags. I checked out the Etsy site and love the sock moneky bags. Thanks for the link - it's already in my Faves on Etsy.

I haven't done socks 2 at a time yet, and I don't think I will anytime soon - especially after I find out what issues you've had with them.

Love the bags -- very pretty! And yes, very spring-like, too!

Very springy, and the colors are perfect for you. I could become very fond of that bee charm, too.

I'm suddenly thinking I need citrus with my lunch...

Very spring-y! The most complicated way ever to knit two socks? Sounds intriguing.

Cool bags! They're perfect for summer. There's always room for more knitting bags.
