I spent a few days out in Villa Park watching my grandma and taking over my mom’s sewing room while my parents went to Wisconsin.
While there I made this serger cover with an elastic bottom so that the cat can’t lift up the bottom of the cover and defeat it’s purpose and eat all the threads out, which she was doing with my old store-bought plastic cover. Lame.
I also started working on two dresses…one of which is finished now. More to come later after I am caffeinated.
You may have noticed if you know me in real life that I love to organize. It’s so fun, especially in the rare case that I can get other people to let me help organize them. This presents a problem, I recieved my invite to ravelry and really that’s all I have been doing after work for the past 2 days. I was supposed to be getting dresses done, but perhaps tomorrow I am telling myself. Luckily I am staying at my parents house for the week hanging out with my grandma while they are out of town or things would really be out of control, photographing my giant yarn collection and such. If you happen to find yourself out and about on ravelry…stop by and say hi.
Where have I been, snaggle tooth I seem to have deserted you. Since my last post I have done the following…
Moved. Here is a photo of my new studio…
Had my quarter century birthday party, karaoke of course…
Bought another tree…
Made a dress for a New Catalogue photo shoot…
Finally took a photo of the finished capelet for my grandma…
Baked a pie…
I have finished two of my unfinished projects already, but have no photos to show so you’ll just have to believe me on this for now. I finished my felted slippers and have already lost one to the void and my grandma’s capelet is complete except for buttons. I can’t seem to find matching buttons anywhere, or even buttons that compliment the color in a way I like.
I’m cleaning up my room and apartment today for my friend Jeff will be staying with me for a few days. Perhaps the last time I do a complete overhaul on this room before I move. Kind of sad since this room is so sunny and I will miss my awesome bed and all my bedding. Luke’s bed is a size up from mine so none of my bedding will translate over. Now I have to figure out what to do with my bed, blankets, and down comforter. Bah. I love my bed it is so comfortable!
I also have to find the perfect yellow blanket for the new bed. I have only had yellow blankets since my first blanket on my first real bed when Beems came along and kicked me out of my crib 23 years ago. Watch out Luke, OCD is on it’s way over.
