Welcome

This is my creative blog, things that are happening in my sewing room and other great creative projects, including cooking and the gardens! I do a little bit of everything, so the subjects will vary. Step out of your box, do something creative!

Another one marked off the list

While the goal is three projects a week, that has just not been happening.  I did get Ruby's sweater done in  time for her birthday.... I am so much faster at crochet than knitting.  And i have more than half of the dragon sweater done at the same time. 
I'm really pleased with the way they are coming out.  Ruby is going to be so cute tomorrow!

Tom wants to do the Unicorn crewel work, and so while that was on my March list, I am glad to hand it over.  I have the owl almost done and I'm very pleased with him.  Plus with my new glasses, I can actually see what I am doing.

Chrissy's quilt got put on hold this week while I battle pnemonia one more time, and argued with the dress that I want to make for Ruby.  My grandmother's fabric, and pattern, passed to my mother, passed to me....Ruby is the last child that the dress will fit and alas, I lost the directions. 
Rachel and I had a good talk about some ideas on the collars, and I dreamed about it, and finally think that I have an idea.
But tomorrow is the party and I don't think it will get done then.  I do have her sweater and a sweet little purse, so I'm fine with doing the dress on Monday

Re writting my sewing routines has not set in yet, but I can see light at the end of the confusion.  Monday is priorety one projects.  Monday is a good day to work on Ruby's dress and think about some bags for Etsy, or other quick items, just to get my work up and not all vintage this and that.

Patterns were on sale the other day online, so I was able to make some business choice with the money I have left over for my living expenses.  I've been very careful, but I am coming to the end  of it and it has gotten eaten away all too quickly. 

I hope to do more of the attic tomorrow, finding some backgrounds to audition for Summer Garden and get started on it.  Sunday is art day.  You'd think I could find some time for some art at least.  Sleeves for my pink sweater are also on the March list, and I might try to start that tomorrow.  I'll be so exciting to get anyother project done

I've been decluttering the drawer in the sitting room, hoping to eliminate one set of plastic drawers soon.  I think part of that will depend on how much of the sewing room I can sell or get rid of, and how much I can move to a better  place. 

SUNDAY IS ART DAY.  DO SOMETHING CREATIVE.  PUT THE FUN BACK IN YOUR LIFE!
