DONE. DONE DONE DONE!
Prepare yourself for the another of MANY posts on this quilt. (with more to come, I’m sure. Clearly I need some close ups. and pics of the back. and it’s in the washing machine right now, so we’ll need post-washing pics too, right?) here it is laying on a hill at the duck park…. it […]
Expedition Dress, part 2
I wanted to try this dress in another size, so I made it in a size 4, and gave it to an adorable little friend of D’s… I’m having lots of fun with piping and puffed sleeves. and these bees really make me smile.and I will NEVER tire of these collars. EVER.I finished this dress […]
my new cowl!
I finished it yesterday… pics this morning. I need to block it, but I’ve been wearing it non-stop since I finished it…. the wool is from my friend Lori, started last weekend at the retreat… It’s Malabrigo worsted. my appologies for looking so blah, I think I had a toddler climbing me while I was […]
Wordless Monday
Because I have a very sore throat. Am slowly recovering from being sick, and now playing catch-up. Must finish an apron tonight, quilt by wednesday, plus I want to make my new bag….
VOILA! best bag ever?

cutie patootie baby pants
2 families at D’s school have new baby girls (one this past weekend, one 2 weeks ago), so I made some play pants for them today. I didn’t have quite enough of the bubble fabric, so I added a contrast waistband, and then, just for fun, I sewed on buttons (VERY strongly, to prevent a […]
Jamie’s project bags…
Jamie, of Bricolage and Butter, went on the guild retreat, and showed us how to make these super fast, easy, cleanly-finished, all-around-awesome project bags…. So I came home and made a few more…. easy, from fat quarters, one for the boy, with outer space, and one for me, for my knitting… which is thanks to […]
LAMQG 1st Annual Retreat
