Yay I finished the Picnic Blanket Backpack.

The only change I would make is I need to make the straps 3" longer. I can get into it, but it's way too hard to get out of it. I got my new juggling balls and they are all wrapped up inside the blanket. I'm taking them on the train tomorrow. I'm so glad I got this finished today. Started and finished all in one day. That's a new record for me.

Picnic Blanket Backpack

You know how when you juggle in the park and you get park goobers on your juggling props? I'm going to make one of these. I can use it to carry some props by modifying it a bit. Then when I'm done juggling I can take a nap. It will also be great to use for yoga or stretching. Yes, Threadbanger does it again. That show is genius!


I just figured out how to modify it. Instead of stuffing the pillow, I will leave it empty and put my juggling bags or journal or whatever inside the pillow and tie or velcro it shut. If I actually need to use it as a pillow, I can just empty out the items and use a handy sweater or scarf stuffed inside to make a quick temporary pillow.

Hey Mr. Mailman where is my package

I was hoping my new juggling beanbags would come today but alas no. In fact our USPS11:30 to 2 mail deliverer didn't even get here until 5:30 PM. All the more reason to anticipate with excitement their arrival soon.

Friends help friends juggle.
