My Back Tacker final gift came this week! I have moved into it already and sported it around town today! I love it! Love, Love, Love it! Shelby from Karmic Knits made it.
I love how she set the zipper in the small green pouch, and she made a small book to keep pins and needles and it's pages are made of her own dyed and felted wool. The book is bright pink in the lower left of this photo. It fits inside its own little pocket on the inside of the main bag.
She also sent matching pins, a seam ripper and measuring tape, and a journal with it's very own set of pencils. This journal seems just right for sketching out clothing ideas, bags and other usable hand made items. I was also given a huge set of needles an Asian Knot Maker!
A whole bunch of pretty chocolates were sent in this package too but they went missing, somehow.
I just love this whole package. Quite a haul! Way to go Shelby!
My Mom! started her very own blog, Books to Bread (and um, well... ect.)!
PLEASE go check her out, see my beautiful nephews and welcome her to the World Wide Web!
One more thing...

Wish me luck, or whatever it is when you send a book proposal away and are hoping to hear back positively! I feel superstitious about this project and this is the first time I am speaking publicly about it. I know I sound cagey.
