i got shit done...

it was the ging's birthday last wednesday, so i started late and made her a stuffed rabbit this last weekend. 

and LOOKIT them ears! sooooo cute!:

it's all finished!

this was my first attempt at making the rabbit and i got his little ears too far back on his head, so next time i'll put them up further.  he's still stupid cute though.  

then on monday after work i went over to top pot, where she works, and gave her her prezzie.  ginger loooved her new rabbit!  i'm always so happy when i make someone something they REALLY love!

she works at the original top pot, which is downtown.  we have one 5 blocks from our house, but the one downtown is the neatest.

then on my way home i realized that i haven't had quiche since we moved from the last house, which is almost exactly one year ago!  so i made quiche for dinner tonight.  broccoli, onion, cheddar and parmesan.

it's about to go into the ovens:

it's really too bad that alistair eats so differently from me, because this quiche was GOOD!

aaaaand i'm gonna have it for lunchie-poo tomorrow!

and the last thing for today is i had a custom order for 3 camera straps and whipped those out tonight while i was in between dinner and whatnot:

they're for a girl in california, sarah, who is a photographer and has already bought quite a few straps from me.  she has a couple websites of her own:

and i'm really liking the lace i put on this one:

i had just enough of it to make her strap.  gold and white. mmmmmm.....

2 more down...

whew!  2 more of my pay it forward 2011's done!  only one more to go!  this time i made my step-sister, sandra, a reversible bag and i also made my friend from college, celinda, one too.  i hope they both like them!

here is sandra's:

it's made with green satin blend for one side and then vintage cotton for the other side.

and here is celinda's:

it's made with plaid satin blend on one side and blue silk/satin on the other side.

i couldn't decide which side i liked better on the outside, so i took a shot of both:

2 pretty packages, tied up with string, ready for the mail:

i'm not sure yet what i'm going to do for my last person.....

one for me...

i liked how poops' puppy turned out so much, i decided to make myself a horse from the same set of patterns.  i think she came out pretty good.  a little punk, a little goofy.

awww...lookit that cute horse butt!

and i really wish i could say that i planned to have the flower on the pattern match up exactly for the eye...but it was just a happy accident.  i love those.  and i didn't really mean for her to get a mohawk either.  oh well.

now what should i call her?
