take a "bow"…
I spotted an absolutely beautiful baby blanket over at posie gets cozy and I made it my mission to conquer it. I am pretty much horrible at blankets….(think about it, people, how many ripple afghans have I started? and how many have I finished and posted here??) I have always stuck to mostly scarves, hats…

all wrapped up…
all done with the wedding gift for my cousin….a “his” and “hers” apron set with two patchwork tea-towels.I embroidered the aprons and there is a large front pocket I sewed using a striped remnant I had left over from the patchwork. I liked how they turned out. here’s hoping the “bride and groom” do, as…

"organized procrastinator"……
hey, everyone. I’m sorry I’ve been away so long. I’ve had quite a few things on my plate. (or should I say ‘palette’)I finally finished up my ‘secret’ embroidery project and also got the print back that I was awaiting, framed it and wrapped everything up in two pretty packages. one successful surprise 35th wedding…

it’s in the bag…
yay!!! it’s finally done and I love it! I’m so glad I passed on the contrast stitching. don’t you agree? this even holds it’s head high up against my “real” leather coat! can barely tell this is faux leather. well,….I think so, anyway.I did opt to make new straps though. by the time I would’ve…

change in plans…
okay, so I slept on it and decided I didn’t like the contrast stitching after all. nor did I want the lining sewn in before I assemble the bag. thank goodness for rotary blades and self healing mats! it didn’t take too long to trim all my thread off, and the bag and lining went…

a third W.I.P…
okay, so I haven’t yet finished either one of the afghans I started. (what? I didn’t mention I started a second afghan?) a sewing bug bit me the other day and I just had to act!I’ve been wanting a messenger bag for a long time and I bought chocolate leatherette about a month ago for…

rippling on…
w.i.p update…I’m making quite a bit of progress on my ripple afghan. I’m actually considering keeping it a little short so it can be a throw instead of a bed cover. during the summer months, you dress so skimpily and at night when the temps drop, something like this would be nice to throw over…

irish moss…
here is my “irish moss” scarf, the one that my sister thought was too short. okay, so when you double it, like I did here, it really isn’t all that long. still…I love the color and it’s so warm and cozy up against my neck when I wear it.I’m going to bring it along on…

w.i.p…rippling rows
work in progress…my very first afghan. I used aRandom Stripe Generator program. I put in the colors I wanted to use and this is the pattern I ended up going with. I still have about 139 rows to go.the red stripes were actually an afterthought, when I found a skein of red in a bag…
