Home Industry: Just add purple ribbon

And the drawers are done! Whoot!

A Tailor

"To be, or not to be: That is the question:" ~Hamlet

I keep hoping my costume will be done in time for the Céilidh ball... Can I do it? Only time will tell. :/ In the meantime, I'm hard away at it.

This is my first time "drawing" my pattern... Thus far, it's been a headache. But, "I shall conquer this!" :D

It is fun to see my own work come together...

I love blue marking pencils.

And a little friend came to "help" with my project.

And yes... I am running out of words for sewing... hence the random blog post title.

Home Industry: Sewing

Mmm. Sewing is a valuable skill. And though I generally dislike the process... I DO like the results...

And therefore despite the drudgery... I began working on my next costume... My War Between the States wear...
Ironing the fabric...

Cutting out the pieces...
And sewing...
New costume, here I come!

A Blanket for Jack

Last week, I went to visit my friend Claire. She is a *wonderful* hostess! And she even let me help make a blanket for her baby. I can't wait to meet Jack in person. :) He's already so precious!


Monkeys on one side and polka dots on the other. So cute!
