For those that live in the United States, I hope you had a wonderful July 4th celebration. It was a good time to spend with family, concentrating on the positive. It was incredibly hot on Wednesday here in Wisconsin – close to 100°F but we also had extremely high humidity. The combination of the two […]
washcloth
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 […]
