Holly Hobby Redwork for the MJF Tea Towel exchange. I wasn’t going to post this right away, but I couldn’t help myself. This is my first Redwork and I am darn proud of it. I think it’s so cute. I am glad I have the pattern, as I am going to make one for myself as well. I am not sure if I will do it in Redwork or if I will choose colors instead…..hmmmm…..much to ponder.
I had this extra goofy yarn leftover from another project so I thought I would see if I had enough to make a Fall hat for Zoe, since her Winter hat is just a little too warm for use yet. I can see now that she managed to pull a string out on the top….OY! She looks super cute though, doesn’t she?
And now the best picture of the day, taken by my love while he grilled dinner
Taken Westward from our deck. Nice.
In other news, we made apple dumplings today (I feel I am in an apple mode. ‘Tis the season, I suppose.) I still have osme pastry left over so I am going to make some mini apple pies tomorrow for desert with our spaghetti (with, you guessed it, homemade spaghetti sauce!!)
I made my list today of outgoing projects:
Edwardian Apron-in exchange for the book from Nancy Jo (cut, not yet sewn)
Apron of my design-in exchange for my knit socks
Tea Towel for Laura (DONE!)
Baby Carrier for Heather from SHF-this is the second one I have made because the first one, though delivery was confirmed, was not received. GRR. (Done and ready for the mail.)
Doll “Anna Grace” for Kelly who won it inmy drawing on MJF
A doll whose name I am keeping secret because it is a surprise for someone who I *KNOW* reads my blog
A doll to have on hand for sale
An Edwardian Apron to have on hand for sale made from this beautiful large print toile I got on my last fabric shopping expedition
Granted the last two are not really yet going out, but I want to have them done. KATE!!!!! You need to email me and let me know what I need to do about your dolls!!!! I will cut them this weekend if you email me.
I got rid of that Tazo that was making me feel funny. Tatiana told me that it made her feel weird, too, so I thought I would just get rid of it.
I avoided my craft/sewing room today at all costs. It needs cleaning and reorganizing and I keep inventing things to do other than that, just so I don’t have to do it…..it rally needs it though. I am seriously hip deep in fabric and sewing machines….FIVE OF THEM!!!!! And a serger. I have a serious problem on my hands. Maybe I will take a picture of it tomorrow and post it. That can be my motivator….I will show my dirty secret to you all…..clean house-horrifyingly messy sewing room….but, but, but, but, I KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS!!! I SWEAR!!!!
Rob is falling asleep on the ocuch next to me, so I think it is time to go to bed.
I love the red work. It sounds like your a busy woman.
Cute photos, I have read a few back post and your kids are little dolls babies, very cute..
I love the sunset!! I’ll say it again…how I wish that I lived up north where you do. But I can’t give up my city life just yet. I can smell it though, your woods smell wonderful at this time of the year. Love the redwork towel. I’m about to embroider for the first time on the baptismal gown for my due-any-day-now-niece down in Florida. Can’t wait!!
