highlights of the last few weeks, in no particular order:
~scarab killed 8 of the chickens when they were only three days old. double. ick. boo.
~bradley found a vintage apron pattern in the dumpster behind goodwill... this made me extremely giddy, and i'm going to try it soon
~i finished the never-ending baby blanket, and gave it to the in-laws at their baby shower last weekend
~i got a sewing machine! it is a singer simple. we still don't have electricity, but my neighbor let me set it up in her garage, half of which is now a makeshift sewing room... the downside is that their dryer vents into that same garage, so dryer lint is getting in the machine! i'm going to try putting pantyhose over the vent when i get back tomorrow
~i'm stuck on the handles for my handbag idea. i was trying to make them out of cotton and fusible interfacing, but i can't seem to get them turned right side out? suggestions? anyone made a bag before, especially a simple tote?
~i have to leave for the airport in 8 hours
~i didn't sell anything at the fair oaks street fair
~i can't wait to get home tomorrow
~i'm coveting fat quarter packs of katie jump rope, chocolate lollipop, and freshcut
~i'm already thinking about clothes for logan for the fall/winter. it somehow seems more attainable/ achievable to make more of his clothes if i'm shooting for several months from now. so far, i have 4 skeins of wool for a tomten jacket
