this weekend
Plans, big plans. Sort of. I hope to get my jacket going again. Although I may work on that this evening, and then work on the dragon quilt tomorrow. I’m still not sure. I’m excited to have my Saturday morning. I have the jacket to a point where I can almost try it on. …
happy thanksgiving!!
So today is a free day. I am excited to get going. I have so many plans it is hard to decide what to do first. I will probably work on the velvet jacket, but also, I plan to clean up my space. Every boy in this family is asleep in the hay, so I …
one day I really didn’t miss
My computer was broken, but I did write this yesterday. I folded a pile of fabric last night as part of the clean out the studio process. At various times, my studio has been neat but they are few and far between. I have several things in there now that are irrelevant to my …
cards
I am finding some time to work. Every night my son has several hours of homework. While he is doing that, I have been crafting. So last night I put together two cards. One from my nephew and one for my aunt. Today is Friday, and I hope to get the room organized more …

Wow! Halfway there to my goal
I can’t believe I have kept this up for a whole half a month! I worked yesterday on my velvet coat and made significant progress. I cut out the interfacing out and basted it to most of the pieces. I got the first two seams basted. Hopefully this week I will get it machine …
Saturday work day
Yay! Finally the day I look forward to all week Saturday. The morning I get precious silence to work on whatever I please. So today I am back to the velvet jacket. I went to the fabric store and bought some interfacing. I got some sew in, like I should have in the first place. …

We went to the fabric store and I got everything on my list plus some sewing machine needles that were buy one get one free. Except the ticking. I am very frustrated with myself. However, it may be the excuse I need to just go buy a new pillow. I may combine this pillow with …
