FO Friday – more stash busting

Are you sensing a theme? I couldn’t resist making one more washcloth in that spike stitch pattern. It’s a simple design so it works up quickly but has just enough change to keep me interested. Obviously – since I’ve now made three of them! I think I’ll take a break and do something else next […]

FO Friday – baby washcloths

ASimpleHomestead.com - Starfish washcloth

I may only have an almost-4-year-old daughter, but most of our friends have children that are much older – and some are empty nesters.  One of those friends has a daughter who was married last fall and is expecting a child just after the new year!  It’s hard to believe because I’ve known Bonnie since […]

FO Friday – the July edition

JMF Vest - full view

I wish I had more to show for July.  It seems like I have accomplished more, but I guess not. Let me start with a simple project, but one that’s been sitting on the floor of my craft room for a few weeks (as evidence of wrinkles would indicate).  I didn’t like the way this t-shirt […]

FO Friday – It’s the Little Things that Count

Posted on May 23, 2014September 8, 2021by Carmen

The bad part about working on larger projects is I don’t have much to share from week to week.  I’m currently working on another sweater for Little Chick – a short-sleeved one that she should be able to wear this summer … as long as it’s not too hot or she doesn’t grow too fast. […]

FO Friday – blocks … and blocks

Friendship Star quilt block

Are you sick of my “blocks” posts yet?  Well, I have a treat this week.  A different kind of block.  You see, I have actually spent some quality time with my sewing machine!  Why?  Because a contest was involved of course.  Don’t be silly.  Nothing else motivates me as much! I know I’ve mentioned before […]

FO Friday – hats and a square

Adult Simple Hat flat

Last weekend we were at Grandma N’s house and I knew I needed a simple everyone-else-is-watching-tv type project that wouldn’t require a lot of concentration nor a lot of travel space as my dear husband thinks I pack too much anyway.  I grabbed a couple of odd skeins I had in my stash, a circular […]

FO Friday – doily and washcloths

Posted on June 21, 2013May 18, 2019by Carmen
The Gift Doily

If you read this blog earlier this spring, you may know already that I “finished” this doily a couple of months ago.  Last weekend I made myself a list of projects that needed just a little push before I could mark them off as complete.  As a result, I finally blocked this doily.  *sigh*  Each […]
