Baby girl!

Sewing like crazy is an under-statement!  I'm almost done with preparations for newborn to 6 months, then I can focus on 6mo-12mo.  One step at a time!  Today I put the finishing touches on a pink and white houndstooth blanket I wove for her. I love it!



I've also finished 3 crocheted hats, 16 pairs of pants, a Drunkard's path quilt, 3 dresses, and several up-cycled onesies from David's collection. I cut out a stencil in freezer paper, iron it onto a onesie, and then put on fabric paint. It's a great way to cover up old stains!







And some pics of David I took two nights ago and the week before.  He's going to be such an awesome big brother!

Catsup and mustard, and nothing having to do with food

I can't believe January is almost over, and I never even shared my Christmas towels I made for family!  "Where is 2016 going?" I'm already asking myself! Here are the Christmas towels that I promised to show you so long ago!  These were so much fun to make and didn't take as much thought to do as you would fear! I didn't follow any particular pattern. When I sat down to thread my loom, I did more of a profile draft style threading but I didn't write it down first I just do it from my head. Same thing for treadling- I didn't have that written down first I just followed a profile-like draft from my head. So it was all somewhat of a surprise to me as I went! The towels I made were from 12/2 cotton.  I warped 6 yards, and the epi was 24. Made 8 towels total. Just a little reminder... When threading for summer and winter…. block 1 = 1 3 2 3 block 2 = 1 4 2 4 block 3 = 1 5 2 5 block 4 = 1 6 2 6 block 5 = 1 7 2 7 block 6 = 1 8 2 8 David is, of course, grow...

Today's color is... BLUE! Look at all those blues!  I also finished crocheting another kitty... one in BLUE and one in green!     Now we have a family of 4 kitties! They really do multiply fast! Wait a minute... one of these things is not quite like the other... Mr. Gnome, how did you get there?

All threaded

It's 100% done, but riddled with mistakes.  I realized only when I was done threading the constant mistake I kept making.  However, I'm all the way through now and it's only a sample mainly to test color, so I'm really not worrying about them yet.  If I want to make it into a towel, I can either start completely over or fix them and then tie onto the warp.  Chances are I will pretty much always choose staring over from scratch. David's eyes look just like the eyes on his toy!  haha
