Piddleloop Love

A few gals in my knitting circle are obsessed with Piddleloop Bags. I mean people are out-of-control about these bags, and not just in Philly. We'll laugh at the Piddleloop bags lined up wherever we go. Orphaned babies finding each other in the world and all that.

Jen works on the bags (with her sister) part-time, and they have gained quite a following. My friends have tried to order the bags, but they go so fast they practically get snatched out of your cart. Her waiting list and group of fans is growing rapidly.

As I've mentioned before, Jen is the nicest girl imaginable. So when she mentioned that she missed her favorite Philly foods, Sherry and I knew we had to create a little care package. We collected Tastykakes treats, Herr's chips, and other crafty items. Sadly, no cheesesteaks or soft pretzels would work into this scheme!

Sherry sells fabulous knitting related items in her shop, and included a "moth guard" sachet, sock yarn and double pointed needle holders with basset hound beads.

I went the paper route, sending stationery and a pen and ink and watercolor drawing for Jen of their bags. I love seeing items lined up in a row, or a grid. This drawing was no exception. I had so much fun drawing the little patterns.



Jen loved her package, and we felt great about sending some goodness back her way.

In the drawing is my version of Sherry's actual Piddleloop bag below. The fabric is designed by Heather Ross, who is my favorite fabric designer.



Below is my own piddleloop bag, which has the Alexander Henry calavera print on it. It's very sketchy, but looks much better smaller.



I'm so glad that Jen finally got her package so I can reveal the cute drawing.

On a more serious note, prayers and thoughts and donations and much needed relief to our friends suffering in Myanmar.
