Oh good gracious, how long has it been since my last post? (I'd look, but that would require leaving this page...seems like too much work to me.) At any rate, how are you? I'm just fine. Guess what? I'm sewing. Yeah that's right. Sewing. I'd show you proof, but to do that I would actually have to know where I put my camera. Sigh.
Let's see. Since my last post I've sold as much of dad's stuff as would sell. Dragged his cabinets into the sewing room. Piled a huge stack of fabric on the floor and got to work. There are still things to be done, but after 4 months of concentrated cleaning, sorting and selling, I ran out of steam. So, I got the sewing room into usable condition and went to work.
I'm working in my usual haphazard fashion...lots of projects going at once. Baby items for a pregnant friend. So far I've completed the receiving blankets, half of the washcloths and most of the cheater quilts. That leaves all of the finishing touches, the burpies and the diaper bag. I'm also planning to make a breast feeding cover and carrying case. Good thing she's not due until January.
Tonight, I made two scarves (okay, making them is a stretch..I did rolled hems on one yard squares of fabric) and lots of kitchen towels. All the towels I made last year either developed mysterious holes (dog teeth) or have disappeared (husband with sticky fingers). I also made some more napkins using old tablecloths. Now I'm going to sit down, watch World's Dumbest and do the hand sewing on the quilt binding. Who knows, I may even finish all of my projects and finish all of the UFOs and start on some items that I'm planning for myself. I'm not going to hold my breath though. I've met me before.
