 So here is the border I made for my big granny stripe blankie. I am so happy to have this finished and move onto some new projects. Maybe I’ll show more pics of it later. But right now I am just excited to have it finished. We are not using it on the bed [...] OK, I still have to do the border….but this was the last stitch in main granny stripe part. This is how I have always envisioned this blanket on the bed. And now that I have it on there, I might like it better for the couch! LOL! The boys are already using [...] This is what nap time looks like for me today. Hooorraaayyyy!!!!!!! The big blankie is back on track. I received my yarn yesterday. I LOVE receiving good things in the mail. This is a new chocolate E introduced me to. Dark chocolate with sea salt. Yum. Tastes like eating cookie dough or something. [...] 1. Ticker Tape quilted pillow like this: **pic is from stitchedincolor.com** This is a new to me method and it looks so easy and fun. A LOT less structured (less math, less rules) than patchwork quilting. FUN! I LOVE the rainbow ticker tape quilt along she is doing right now! 2. Yoyo Rosette pillow [...] Wrist warmers. Made of cotton, Lily Sugar and Cream. I use this yarn a lot. It is cheap but not acrylic so it makes me happy. I made these last year but never did the finishing work. He must like them because he kept them on to go outside and skateboard just now. [...] **pic and pattern from The Yvestown Blog** Why do I have such a hard time following patterns? I have been trying to get these hearts to look just right for like an hour…I am so tired. I just can’t seem to get them right. Maybe tomorrow? I hope! [...] **pic is from a blog called yarn round hook** LOVE. I love all the color with white. I think when I do my pillow, this will be a good inspiration pic. I wanted to be done sometime in November! LOL! I think I am almost half way. I did start this right as Mila came home. Remember the last pic? Can you tell? I wish the progress was more clear…but oh well. You see, I do some stuff other than visit my knobs on [...] not in any specific order… 1. PJ pants for Liam and Miles (maybe flannel or stretch?) from Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross. 1 1/2 yds fabric for Liam , 2 yds for Miles and 3/4 in elastic 2. Lazy Days Skirt for Mila , a free pattern from Oliver ans S. 44-45 in wide fabric [...] I just realized this week that if I don’t watch tv while doing my blanket, I can do an entire color (2 rows) in an HOUR! It has been taking me 2 hours while watching tv. WOW! I had no idea! TV is now banned. |
