This past week has been a little strange. Things have been really quiet – my kids are back in school, and there were no camps or classes. I have been cleaning and organizing the studio getting ready for this coming week. I am really excited for fall and our new class schedule!
We have lots and lots of new fabrics! Mostly cotton and fleece and they are so yummy! I can’t wait to see what our students make with them! This was the first time I had ordered fabric on-line and it turned out to be a very nice experience.
There are a couple of new samples up in the studio. Both of these samples are from Simplicity Pattern #1455. This pattern is a very good one for beginners – the shirt can really be a 2nd or 3rd project with the skirt following it. I loved playing with this fabric!! As for me, besides working in the studio on Let’s Go Crafting, I kind of bounced around between projects:
I worked on this rainbow blanket for one of my daughters. I am now more than half way done and am feeling energized to finish.
These are sleeves for a sweater for one of my other daughters. They need to be 25 inches in length as she wants them long with a thumb hole. The body of the sweater is mostly done and awaiting the sleeves so I can finish it. This sweater will also have a hood attached.
There was also some cross stitching done on a Christmas stocking for one of my sons.
And a birthday cake was made! My oldest celebrated her 23rd birthday on Friday so I made her favorite cake! All-in-all a very nice week.
