Mission: Submission

I brought my One Yard Wonders submission to Crafty Planet yesterday.

I worked up a larger rocket and I added a pocket to use up most of a yard of fabric.

I agonized over the directions, hoping that they would be clear enough for someone who is not me and had never made the rocket.

I asked my mom to test my pattern, and here is what she made, in an afternoon, no less.

This new rocket takes an entire 8 oz bag of stuffing, and it is super fun for tossing around with the kids.

My mom gave me some suggestions for the directions, and I finished tweaking on Sunday night.

It is a huge relief to have this project finished, and in about a year I can see it in a book!

I just want to thank all the little people who helped me come to this moment-

Thanks to my kids for being so cute and needing a toy rocket.

Thanks to my Mom for helping me with the pattern directions.

Thanks to NASA for going to space.

o.k. I went a little overboard on that last one...

Yesterday was my first visit to Crafty Planet at their new location.

Totally worth the drive.

They have a GIANT selection of super cute japanese prints, along with all the other usual suspects, Michael Miller, Alexander Henry, Moda, etc., and yarn to boot!

I like to go there because, even though nothing can replace Treadle as fabric store #1 for me, they have a different inventory than Treadle and it is fun to see different stuff.

Time to bring the Younger to school,

Talk to you all soon,

Jess
