purpose-lacking granny square

September 19, 2008 · 2 Comments

these weird granny squares are a lot of fun to make and try out, but what the heck am i supposed to do with just one?  i don’t want to make more… so, any suggestions?  throw it in the yarn bucket and re-use the yarn when i have the desire to try new pointless granny squares again? will do!  :)

i’ve missed sewing

September 9, 2008 · 5 Comments

with moving and all, i haven’t sewn in a while!  even though this isn’t a “serious” sewing project, i still enjoyed making it.  the fabric is amy butler that i got from the dutch girls and have been dying to use! the trim is a silk taffeta i had left over from my fashion show.  i still need to sew the zipper in, so it is a little baggy, but you get the picture!

Well, I think I have been working on this for about 30 weeks.  My friend made a human in that amount of time, and I made a miniature babette blanket.  Hmm…  Ok, she wins.  But who cares!  I’m DONE!! 

Oh yeah!  I should also mention I have been working on this:

baby cuatro is coming this March.
