Hello Everyone,Can you believe 2011 is over. I dont have much to show for it project wise but I am not discouraged. The new year is right around the corner and hopefully there will be some progress w...
Yep... I have done absolutey nothing. Maybe not absolutely nothing but I think my last post was about baby steps. Heck, what is smaller than baby steps because that is where I am. So be it. Life is a...
Wow, has it really been 2 months since I last posted. Geez...this blog as well as everything else has taken a back burner to my new job. It is a 9-5 but new jobs always take some adjustment. Me, I ha...
Even though I havent been sewing much (new job) that doesnt stop me from buying sewing items. Why should it? After perusing the New Look catalog at Joanns I decide to pick up a few patterns and some ...
Have you ever cleaned out your closet and just could not let go of some things that you really needed to. Well that is what I did the other day. Start cleaning out my closet. I did manage to get rid ...
I started this sweater on January 1st and it is still not done. I told my daughter she would need to try it on a lot as I go along so that we can make sure it fits properly. She had been doing pretty...
VENT..VENT...VENT and RANT. I am in the process of cutting an 8 for McCalls 5522. I looked at the envelope sizes and measurements on the pattern pieces at least 10 times and now I look again today an...
I got the original Readers Digest Complete Guide to Sewing a couple of months ago at the thrift store. I knew the new one was coming out as well but for $2.62 I snatched it up in a heartbeat. My libr...
I got a lining. I planned on doing a lining. But I guess this skirt didnt want to be lined!!! In the dark store when I got the lining and fabric I was so excited to have matching pieces. Now that I a...
Yes, I actually sewed something. A little something. I am playing catch up on my Burda Marie skirt but since I was up at 4 AM I didnt catch all the way up. Sewing and sleepy dont mix. Nevertheless I ...
It is always something. I know I have been checking for updates for the Burda Marie Sew-A-Long but for some reason I am already behind. Somewhere along the way I missed some posts. Grrrrr. Anyhow the...
My list is finally together for The Day Zero Project- 101 in 1001. If you havent heard of it check it out. Most of you already have New Years Resolutions but this is somewhat like a bucket list but y...
I finished this sometime last year but I can be quite lazy when it comes to blogging. Blogging is a lot of work. Taking pictures, writing the post, uploading everything, and oh how about the first st...
The first project of 2011 is..... drum roll please.......a knitted sweater for my daughter. The first one didnt come out so well so we are going to give it another try. Same concept of knitting top d...
Yes, finally, it is done. The knitting needle case that I have been putting off doing forever. I buckled down and worked on it off and on for the past few days but I was determined to have it done be...
I did it. I finished the gloves I made for my sister. A while a go when I was sharing that I had learned how to knit she said, "Ooooooohhhh, I want some hot pink fingerless gloves!" After sea...
Yes, it is that time again. Another dishcloth/napkin/whatever!! These are my little break projects while I figure out what I am going to knit next. I am almost finished a gift for my sister but need ...
2011 is guaranteed to be a year of firsts when it comes to my sewing. I joined my first sew along which is being hosted by Regan over at Stitch In My Side. This will also be my first time trying a Bu...
This window is on the front of my house in my office. Everyday the sun total beams through this window to the point where it is blinding and I have to move. If only I could have some solar panels and...
This is smaller than most dishtowels but I wanted to see how big of a product a roll of the Sugar N Cream would yield. I know it all depends on the stitches you are doing so there will be some varia...
These jeans, the ones I posted about here, finally got the hem they deserved. It only took 3 or so years but who is counting anyway. When you absolutely nothing to wear that will put a fire under y...
"Cowl, what is a cowl? I have never heard of that." Truth be told it is not a word I hear to often either.This is a cowl.Actually that is a almost finished cowl where I just couldnt deal wi...
Look what I scored at my local Goodwill store. I have gone in there a million times and thought I looked through all the books never to find any sewing books. Come to find out I never made it to th...
UFO Week Project 1 CompletedThese Fingerless Mitts were sitting around unfinished for quite a while. Glad to have them done. It is a quite quick and easy pattern to knit up but I can see now that se...

Clutch the pearls...this is a sewing post. You probably thought you would never see one from me again now that I have picked up some knitting needles. Lots of knitting needles with nowhere to store...
Hi all,Another dishcloth for your viewing pleasure. Knitting these little cloths is addictive. I am thinking I will have a whole lot of dishcloths, handtowels and washcloths pretty soon.I need to w...
This sample was made from a free pattern on Ravelry. It is the Double Bump Dishcloth by Missy Angus.I dont keep a yarn stash so I knitted it up in the Red Heart Super Saver Yarn to see if I liked it...
I feel like I am in an adulterous relationship with my knitting. Sewing I still love you but I have learned how to knit and I love it too. What is a gal to do? Lately my sewing mojo hasnt been up ...
....fifty some fish? What? Oh how did I get myself into that. Of course, just trying to help LaniJ with homecoming festivities. The theme for all of the classes was Under the Sea and more specifi...
