I've been busy!


.....organizing! Next week I'll get back to
sewing.

Photo: postcard sent to me from
the World Wildlife Fund














I told my family that I had a vision of myself as sort of  a Quilt Gypsy.  From all the things that I could bring across the country, it was most important to have my sewing tools and fabrics!

Don't be surprised if I make a wall-hanging from the picture in my mind! 















Out of necessity, I sewed a little.  My watch-band fell apart, so I made a new one from leftover fabric (and a bit of interfacing).














Actually, it's been nice to just sit back; and crochet.

After reading a recent post on Anna Maria's blog, the post showing the beautiful crocheted hat (for her daughter); I looked up how to do the shell stitch...

...a week later I was showing a flight attendant how to make the stitch!   (just following in Diane von Furstenberg's footsteps...she said she likes to share everything she learned)

  2. Hello Heike, I'm enjoying crochet again. It's very relaxing!
    You are getting snow!
    It's been very mild here...a prayer answered!! 2 bad years in a row was too much.
    Hugs to the family!

  3. Cute postcard. Maybe its a reminder to sit back and relax. I know you can't right now. After dh unloaded the book case/entertainment center I have some sorting to do. What do I keep and what do I give away. It will be hard to give up anything.

    Your crochet looks nice and great watch band too.
    Hugs

  4. I think when I finally sit down, I will fall asleep!! I feel like that bear in the front! Everything was going good until I closed the truck door on my finger yesterday. Time to slow down!
    I don't like giving things away either. I used to watch Homes Across America and pick up ideas for arranging "stuff". See...we just need to rearrange our things, not give it away....oh,husbands will be happy to hear that!! :)

    I'm looking forward to you having your room done and you can sit and sew again!
    Think about the longer days coming...all that light coming in!
