WiP It Wednesday #244

WiP It Wednesday for Wednesday April 12, 2023.



What's a WiP? A WiP is short for Works In Progress.

WiP it Wednesday is where I show the craft projects I've worked on this past week. I go into detail and discuss patterns, needles, and yarn. I discuss what I like and don't like about each of my projects.

I currently go live twice a month on the first and third Saturday at 11:00 am mountain time. I live in Arizona where there is no daylight savings time.

Your bags are pretty and so well made. It's good to have all those pockets for whenever she needs them. Hope when you eventually move you will all be happy in your new home.

My son lives in Glendale AZ about thirty minutes from Surprise. You will love the area. It does het extremely hot!

I love every shade of turquoise or aqua. When I was a very little girl in nursery school they showed the class a nature movie and I still remember the camera focusing on a robin’s nest with beautiful eggs in it. I thought they were the most beautiful color I had ever seen and I’ve never changed my mind.

Hi Robin. I feel its good when creators show that they made errors or struggled with a project. I show them on mine all the time and like you mentioned it helps show that its ok to make mistakes. I joke that Jack the seam ripper is my best friend. Loved today's video.

[suesmith]

I lean towards turquoise but gotta say that aqua fabric with the pretty plaid you have look great. You have such pretty fabrics and make beautiful things!

[pgiberti]

Beautiful bags, Robin! I always get inspiration watching your videos. Just learned you are moving to the Southwest!

[CraftyGalVictoria]

Hey Robin....
I lived in the Surprise area for many MANY years and we are moving back to that area in just about a month or 2. Most of the time, you don't hear the jets inside... the houses are pretty soundproof. Outside on the patio or in the swimming lets just say that's a whoooolllle different story. 😂 I think it will be totally fine during your live streams. 👍🏻

I lost my sewing mojo for the past year but I still pop in and watch you from time to time -- you look like you've lost weight! 😮 Ladt time I warched was when Nicole came in. You inspire me so much BTW I'll be going to watch the last live so I can make a box too. I usually sew up aquas for my kids 😍

Very cute tote bag. Forme Robin, I would not even consider 1/8 of an inch a mistake or being inaccurate! If all my seams were only 1/8 inch off, I would be so thrilled! Thanks for the video!

Thank you Robin Sincerely Your Friend Lynne

I like aqua. I just love those tote bags!

[giovannacasadio]

I prefer turquoise to acqua colours, but I love all purple hues and yellow. Love your bags.

[maryannnewsham]

Robin you have every reason to be proud of the gift you made for your friend. The fabrics are amazing, and the workmanship is awesome. I have been trying so hard not to go to Jo-Ann's but I'm thinking I'm going to have to make a trip over there and look for that fabric. What caught my eye was the color combo of that purple pink and then pulling it all in with that aqua lining.

Beautiful projects! Moving to Arizona? Wow, congrats! I heard you say you were packing in one of your videos that I watched, but just thought it was for work to be done on your house from the hurricane. How exciting for you to be relocating!
Funny - my son, DIL & 2 grandchildren that we followed here (Clearwater FL area) are considering a move to Arizona as well. They've asked us to follow them there as well - not sure we're up to it though. I've heard recently of quite a few Floridians relocating to Arizona, very interesting.
So excitied for you though!!

Turquoise or aqua are def in my color wheel!!!

[paulaneary]

I love aqua and turquoise and blue. Anything to do with the ocean.

[darlenemitchell]

Robin - your work is amazing. Where do you get your zipper pulls? Love them!!! Also what batting do you use???
Wow moving to Arizona…will be fun to watch you sew from there and incorporate SW fabrics. When does this move happen & do you have to sell your house? Wow big changes coming for you. ❤

[connibartosh]

Love the tote bag! Do you have a video for it??

[virginiacollis]

Beware of the rattlesnakes, Gila monsters, and don't they have scorpions there? Be careful and enjoy yr new home. Luv u.🥰😺🐈👵🧸

[lenoredunn]

Good luck on your move. Should be less humidity and you may find geckos. They are no problem, just scare you if they come out in front of you. Never pick up a rock or put your hands into a bush without a stick first, there are rattlesnakes and scorpions.
