Success!!!
I have one of the 1/2 square triangle baby quilts pieced, just need to plan the borders… Hopefully I’ll choose/sew them tonight, and can make my quilt sandwich tomorrow (tonight if I’m lucky!).Also, while my ukulele lessons aren’t going so well (it hurts!!!), my bread baking skills are definitely improving… Thanks in large part to […]
my pretty dyed yarns…
member these pretty little skeins?well, they were not wound and put away quickly enough!I thought it was bad enough that the Bean took them to be necklaces, but then…I discovered D, using them to “catch” aliens!and then I looked back, and the Bean had MORE!she’s so pleased with herself!I have rescued and wound them all […]
better pictures…
Here’s my stack of finished 1/2 square triangles… I made 18 pairs of solids/prints, 4 of each block, for 2 different (but the same) baby quilts… (I started with 4.5″ squares, but am not bothering to measure beyond that… here’re the blues-greens-yellows… the pinks-purples-reds-oranges-yellows… I made my husband help me choose the block order… we […]
Rainy day #6…
First the baby took her morning nap, so I was able to start a granny square with one of the green yarns I dyed last night… isn’t it purdy?!?!?!? Then I managed to get the boy-o to nap (unfortunately after his sister had already woken up), so I backpacked her, and cut out the envelopes […]
fun with food coloring.
this makes me sooooo happy. I LOVE PLAYING WITH COLOR! painting, sewing, dyeing, all sooooo fun! I mentioned before that I’ve started an afghan… I am using Pattons Pure Wool, (because it’s easy and cheap), but I want more colors… I’ve played with kool aid before, and that’s super fun, but I also have lots […]
vintage boys pants…
My son is a very solid 3.5 year old. I’m told by the dr that I don’t have to worry about his weight, but he’s not a skinny minny. His shoulders are so wide, that if I buy a woven shirt, he needs a 7-8… (he’s like his dad in that respect) His waist/hip (cause […]
Block #2!
I couldn’t resist, I crocheted another block today… Bright red center, dark teal heather middle, natural outer.I’m loving this block pattern. I think it’ll make a lovely throw.
Step 2…
Yesterday I organized a teeny bit of my stash…. Today I broke the "nice" pens out (usually kept hidden away from 3 year olds), and started doodling….I'm making a baby quilt for my MIL to give as a gift… So I was easy but fun… I think triangles, with solids on the bottom, matchy prints […]
Quilt Along/ Clean Up
I have lots and LOTS of fat quarters, from a year of getting the 30’s medley of the month from Keepsake Quilting… dunno why, but they were all still folded in their bags… I get them in the mail, open then, caress them, and then carefully refold them and put them back… I’m considering participating […]
my first block
I was SO inspired by this GORGEOUS blanket, I decided I had to have one. I don’t have $990 to spend on a blanket, so I’m gonna make my own. My goal is 1 block a week. More if I can… I got this awesome book at the library, and I made my wonderfully patient […]
