It has been way too long since my last post. Since my having had vertigo http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=6129 for three weeks among other things its been pretty hectic. Recently I have been working on Christmas gifts and rethinking some. I had originally thought I would make pot holders using this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS-jIr5rTM0 Thanks Whitney for this great tutorial. Then I realized I have so much to do and the vertigo didn't help much when some days it was so bad the couch had a permanent dent. I decided to try knitting again. Just sitting there was not that fun especially when I wanted to be productive. I took out the knitting needles my mother in law had given me and some yarn that was also tossed my way. Put that with some fun fur and I made my first scarf of the year for my niece who is 20 months and a true diva.
After that I decided to make another one for my older niece.
On the days I was feeling ok I made an apron out of a hand towel, seem binding and a pillow case.
After I resolved the vertigo I decided to hit up the fabric store and take advantage of the fleece scrap table. So I made a scarf out of that. Then I decided since I am so far behind I will grab some more fleece. This table saved Christmas for me. It was so incredibly cheep to use the scraps for scarves this year.
So I will be seeing a lot more of this.....
And this.......
Oh and since I last posted I have been given a little bit of a sewing stash. This wonderful woman was 93 when she passed and her family new that I loved to sew. I now will not have to buy any class 66 bobbins for my Singer and I also got some vintage sewing notions.
So that is just a little of what I have been up to.
