In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.
Today, we have a combination of things that have come into my life – stuff from Etsy and some stuff I made. It’s all about needle wrangling today.
First – Etsy. I’ve determined that my new Twitter habit is very, VERY dangerous. People like to tweet about awesome stuff they find on Etsy. Since [...]
Yeah, I know. I said there would be knitting. I fibbed. Soon. Kris is feeling lazy-ish tonight, so we’re probably going to be watching movies. I’m going to get back to working on the Mystery Stole.
In the meantime, a FO, some planned projects, and a kickass gift.
First, the FO:
What I believe may be the single-handedly [...]
I’m feeling a little better today – no sore throat, but I’m still stuffy. Stupid cold. Just annoying.
This morning was my first guide class for the Bernina – I had a lot of fun, and I definitely learned some nice tricks with my machine. So, of course I came home and had to sew. Immediately. [...]
And yes, it’s another wristlet.
But, there is something special about this one! This is the very first thing I have sewn on my birthday/Christmas present from my darling hubby:
My brand-new, picked-it-up-today Bernina Aurora 430. It is a thing of beauty, and I am completely in love. I’m in negotiations with hubby to modify the Ikea [...]
So, yesterday I dragged Kris up to JoAnn Fabrics to pick out some stuff to make myself a yoga mat bag. I figure, if I’m taking yoga class, I should have a stylish way to carry my mat to and fro, right? Kris found this adorable dragonfly print fabric, and I turned it into this:
The [...]
So, I posted that song title meme, and this is what has been wrought:
See, I’ve been a Billy Joel fan since I was a kid. Specifically, since the “An Innocent Man” era. I listened to that and “Greatest Hits Vol I and II” about a billion times. Eventually, I amassed all of his albums on [...]
Did these tonight.
The green one is for Mom (HA! You thought I’d say me!), the other one is for me. These are a little bigger than the earlier one (8″ x 9″ instead of 6″ x 8″), which is now my official camera case.
And on the back:
I don’t have cute little labels like Jody (yet…), [...]
I spent today bonding with a sadly-neglected member of my crafty army – my sewing machine. I’ve gotten seriously bitten by the sewing bug lately, so much so that Kris and I are in negotiations for an upgraded machine for my birthday/Christmas present this year.
The first thing I did, well… I can’t show you. It’s [...]
First of all, thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers for Kirsten and her family. She’s an amazing woman, and I cannot believe how strong she has been dealing with the loss of Alex. I will actually see her this weekend – she’s the one who planned the Kennywood trip almost 2 [...]
There’s a BLOG here! I’ve been a neglectful blogger, I know. In my defense… um… yeah, I got nothing.
I have been working on the 2nd baby quilt and the last Baby Bolero, both of which need to be done before we leave for Pittsburgh this coming Thursday (Yay!! Kennywood!!!).
I got the strips [...]
