Roadblock

We had a visitor today. We have renamed her Roadblock. She lies down and there is no way around her. And there is no moving her until she decides she wants to get up.

Catherine from ZigZag Stitches dropped off our new bags. The fabric is so cute in person.

The Maker's Mini Backpack from Namaste will be coming early December. I carry the bigger backpack but some people find it too big. This is smaller and very cute.

The Maker's Mini Backpack was mindfully designed for those who value the space and ease of our Maker's Backpack, but at a smaller scale. The Maker's Mini Backpack has three compartments, allowing you to keep your crafting and daily life separate. With plenty of pockets, and a large middle compartment complete with yarn feeder, the Maker's Mini Backpack is ideal for crafters looking to fashionably and comfortably find nirvana where ever they are.

Maker's Mini Backpack

• A claw closure on the front of the backpack cinches the compartments together for a more compact look and functionality.
• The front compartment has one zippered pocket, as well as three pen pockets and a small and medium sized pocket.
• The zipped middle-compartment is deep-set and has a yarn feeder.
• The back compartment has a large pocket, perfect for an iPad or small tablet.
Two sturdy pockets on the sides of the bag allow you to place items for easy access, such as your phone.
• A vertical zip pocket along the back of the backpack allows for easy access for small items, like a passport, wallet, or keys.
• Four metal feet on the bottom provide protection and stability.

We gain an hour of sleep tonight so I should be able to do some knitting. Should is the important word in that sentence. I might fall asleep in my chair.
