Naptime Project

I've had this project earmarked for over two years now, and had the fabric at least as long, but I never got around to doing it. I had an idea in my head of what I wanted it to look like but couldn't quite grasp how I would get there from the yard of fabric. Queue Pinterest! I found this WikiHow Tutorial. Use the link if you'd like the instructions!

I tweaked the tutorial a bit to fit my needs and because I can't apparently follow directions, but I love it, not perfect but completely functional!

Ozzy wanted to help :)

My mess of needles before

The finished product!

I made 2 layers of pockets for long and short needles, double points, and a big pocket to store all my round needles, and scissors. I also added 6" at the top to make a flap so the needles wouldn't fall out if it flips in my knitting bag.

All rolled up :)

my pretties

We had a good time today, went and visited some family of The King's, had a mini photo shoot and watched Frozen for the hundred-and-fiftieth time in just a few weeks. I will forever have these songs in my head, but it's just too hard to resist when The Kid looks at me with big cute eyes and says "Watch Anna-Elsa?!" She also "sings" and acts out parts of Let it Go - it's super adorable to watch, she's getting braver and braver doing it in front of me now rather than hiding in the kitchen acting it out. Hopefully soon I can get a video of it to share :) In the meantime I do have some photos from our mini shoot this morning with the girls in their Minnie Mouse outfits from Nana and Bampy to share. They're so adorable.
