Morning outings any day of the week is one of the benefits of being on Winter Break. Yesterday a friend and I went for a traditional South Indian breakfast and then strolled around Al Kout enjoying the beautiful weather.
It would seem that my afternoon crochet creations were inspired by the colors I had seen earlier in the day.
While visiting some of the participants in the stash-buster link party at Linda's Crafty Corner, I came across this easy crochet gift bag pattern from Marianna's Lazy Daisy Days.
The size can be easily adjusted to whatever you may gifting and unlike the gift bags I usually make, there's no sewing up of sides as this pattern is worked in the rounds. I will definitely be making many, many more of these in all different sizes for all different reasons.
Happy Holidays,

Beautiful pictures! I love the little gift bags you crocheted; I saved that pattern, too :-) Enjoy your break.
It sounds like a wonderful morning. Friends, food and beautiful scenes to enjoy. Your gift bags are very cute and I'm sure will be loved by all who receive them.
Blessings,
Betsy

I am going to learn how to crochet. I know a little bit. You make such cute things. Happy holidays.
How fun that your newly crocheted bags are reflected by the colors in your morning walk photos. The weather looks perfectly delightful...not at all like your days of sand storms. Wonderful way to begin your day dear.
Lovely post, have a blessed holidays! loves soraya❤
What a lovely day, all sunshine and boats, and your handiwork is so cute. Love the pineapple.
Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year.
Dearest Tammy,
Yes, you do create gift backs according to the beauty of the day that was on your retina; love that!
Lovely photos and you sound bubbly. Enjoy this winter break.
Hugs,

Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas and all that's good in 2015.
Enjoy your holiday and your break my friend,

Glad you're getting a break and your weather is beautiful. It's cold and gloomy and rainy here and has been for weeks. Merry Christmas to you and your family although I don't think they celebrate but the feelings are the same no matter what time of year or what religion. Enjoy your "break"!
The little bags are darling!
Sounds like a lovely outing, and those boats are so elegant! Is there a name I can google to learn more about that style of boat?
I love your crochet bags, and the little brown one with the green top reminds me of a pineapple :)
Dearest Tammy, I love this blue sky!!!

Days spent exactly how you like = ahhh, the joys of Christmas/Winter break! :)
I, on the other hand, barely ever leave the house during these 2 weeks. I was really wishing for some snow for Christmas for some lovely photo opps but it didn't happen, instead we have really warm (for this time of year) weather and sunshine now for 2 days - the grass is still green and growing. Crazy for December. But I might get out for a little bit with Jim today for a little hike to try out my new wide-angle lens.
Sarah works throughout Christmas break, because she works at a bank, so other than her - I don't really hang around with friends. I have a couple of girlfriends, but we never really do anything - my time, by choice, is spent entirely with Jim and Sarah pretty much. Thus, I'm a hermit, lol.
Hope you enjoyed a great Christmas!
Linda
It's so beautiful there this time of year Tammy! I hope you have a great winter break from school and enjoy a Happy New Year!
