It's been some months since my last update, and by now I'm certain that no-one is reading, save the occasional person who I happen to know and share things with. So what to do with a not-too-productive blog? Not much I'm afraid.
The half of the time I'm crafting, just going along my marry way, and I don't even think to slow down, take pictures and blog. But with a tablet and Google drive... Perhaps I'll find a way? I pray so.
And so, without any more stalling, I shall do... Another Update!
Compared to the last entry I have since completed:
1. Maybe two dress out of my stack of pre-cut fabrics...
2. That last item on the list, the quilt. Well... One of the quilts. The one I was finishing by hand that is super old? That one. Pictures should be up as soon as I pull it out of the linen cupboard.
3. A pair of socks that actually fit the person they were meant for! (I have this small issue with the damn things normally being just a touch too big. But not these!)
4. Maybe some other, smaller patch jobs that needed to be done, but I just don't remember. These sorts of things come and go.
Projects I am still working on:
1. The stack of pre-cut dresses.
2. The scrap quilt.
3. The pre-cut quilt. I'm honestly thinking of cheating and just using the sewing machine.**
4. A Christmas project from this last season...
I know I know! How could I leave someone without their Christmas gift? I am such a horrible person. But you know what? I live with it. Also they told me not to rush, since they didn't want me to mess up. And lets face it, those of us who craft know that taking your time pays off in the end. Also, beading projects can take a long time to set up and work on, and then take down. For some reason I thought it would be easy to do a sheet of bead-work in the design of the exploding Tardis in the Van Gogh style. I was sorely mistaken.
So let me restate my point here: I am taking my time since it is very carefully graphed out, one small square per bead. I face the fear that it will never be done.
About that scrap quilt... No there are no pictures yet, mainly because I haven't touched it in a few months. I've been balancing my class schedule because some genius (referring to myself, sarcastically) thought it would be an excellent idea to take 17 units that have a laundry list of requirements per class. Please insert hysterical laughing that morphs into equally hysterical sobs here. But frabjuous day! Tis near the end of the semester!
Projects that I have recently started (this section really shouldn't exist, but it does):
1. Spinning yarn to then weave into a scarf for my friend before she moves off to Japan.
2. A pair of baby socks for an expecting family friend.
These is nothing much else to report, except that the reports assigned to me by classes are the only things keeping me busy recently. Not much time, if any, really, to sit and craft the way I would like to be able to. But this summer shall be glorious. I promise to post many more updates.
May your stitches be straight and your threads never tangled.
