Spontaneous Craft-Room Reorganization! (Now with Photos!)

When the last entry closed, I was thinking happy thoughts of playing around with the sewing machine, right? Then I thought maybe I’d tidy up the craft room first, because clutter’s been accumulating.  A quick tidying up and then craft-time as reward for a job well done!  Sounded like a good idea. Of course there […]

Doily Photos (& Miniature Food)

I hinted in an earlier entry that I was working on yet another “Summer Splendor” doily.  (That makes four!)  This one was for my paternal grandmother.  The thread is Red Heart Classic Crochet Thread (size 10) in “Delft Blue”.  I still like the pattern and recommend it to other doily enthusiasts, but four times is […]

Chit-Chat

I haven’t taken the photo(s) mentioned at the end of the last blog entry.  The day was dreary and dark– not ideal photography weather.  Besides, I was too lazy to clear the table and snap some photos.  Sad, isn’t it?  ;o) This morning, I weaved in the ends of my latest crochet project, but since […]

Latest Doilies (with Photos!)

After initially planning to make a large oval or runner, I found myself at the end of November with limited time […]

Oh, Brother!

Sometime during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday jumble of sales, I bought a new sewing machine!  My old machine is a super simple Singer model bought at Target on Black Friday 2006, I believe.  It still works– better now than at some times in the past, since I’ve gotten a little more comfortable with sewing– but […]

Vroom-Vroom!

I realized after posting last time that I actually had finished something “photographable” recently.  It was a silly little impromptu crochet stuffie that I started, oh, two years ago. (*unfocused saucer-eyes*  If there’s one thing I hate most about projects that go into hibernation mode, it’s the way they highlight the relentless passage of time.  […]

Keeping the Cobwebs Away…

Just posting to stay in the habit and keep the cobwebs from getting out of hand.  ;o) No photos today, I’m afraid.  I still haven’t blocked anything, and the only project I’ve made any progress on, lately, is a gift item, so I’m trying to avoid spoiling the surprise with photos here, there, and everywhere.  […]
