By On April 22, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I love how these little purses turned out. They weren’t at all what I was thinking, but I really wanted to show off the flowers and mountains. A square zipper pouch was the best way to do just that.

I didn’t want to wash them because I was afraid [...]

Hey all you knitters and crocheters! Vickie Howell has posted some creative ideas on how to keep those needles and hooks going in this crazy economy. My favorite suggestion is recycling sweaters for the yarn. I tried this once, but had a tough time picking the seams. I wound up giving it away to someone [...]

clothes

I’ve been thinking about this post for almost 24 hours; right after I left the clothing store. I don’t want it to sound like a rant or whine, but I can’t get these thoughts out of my head. So, here goes.

I recently did a clean sweep in my closet. I got rid of all [...]

bean bags

I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with these bean bags. Originally, I thought zipper pouches, but if I do the standard long rectangle orientation, the art will be sideways. Does that matter? I think it would be better to have the zipper on the top. Is that weird?

I [...]

I’m getting ready for a two month pledge of not buying any new clothes. Starting May 1, I’m pledging to refashion what I already own. I can’t remember how I found Wardrobe Refashion, but I’m so glad I did. The projects are really inspiring!

I cleaned out my closet a few weeks ago and [...]

lunch with the girls

By On April 19, 2009 · 1 Comment

I’ve been looking forward to this afternoon all week. I’m going to lunch with the girls. Time away from my husband and daughter that doesn’t include any errands or work. Not even any knitting. Just eating, chatting and maybe a glass of wine.

There used to be a time in my life where lunch [...]

I’ve finally got some Easter pics up in the gallery. We had a really low key weekend. Saturday morning we hung out with friends and dyed eggs. Sunday morning we gave Bella her basket and hunted for eggs downstairs. She at a whole peeps and we’ve decided that she’s not having anymore [...]

siouxsie t-shirt tote bag

By On April 18, 2009 · 4 Comments

Thanks to some artful sewing inspiration, I’ve finished a project that has been sitting in the to-do pile for way too long.

I wanted to turn one of my ’80s Siouxsie shirts into a tote, but didn’t want a typical floppy t-shirt bag. My friend was planning to throw away (yes, throw away!) this [...]

It’s getting harder and harder to come up with something original to make for all of the baby showers we’re having at knitting group. I wanted to give something different than the expected blanket, bib or sweater. After I found this little doll on ravelry, I grabbed my yarn and started right away. For those [...]
