sewing room fun

From my sewing room...

and headed for my etsy shop.

military plans

I've been watching "Army Wives"

and really getting into it.

It has inspired me to approach life like the Army...

Plan...

...on getting healthier!

And it helps to have lots of fruit and vegetables on hand.

Attack!

My recipe box is a disaster...

it's getting organized soon!

And conquer...

I did begin organizing my sewing room over the holidays.

It took a dozen clear plastic storage boxes

 but it is so nice to have everything separated and stored.

What are your plans for 2012?

wool

It's cold here today...only 11 degrees.

Saw this idea on a blog to cut out liners for your shoes out of felted wool.

What a great idea huh?

The office I work at has a cement floor.

I'm loving these new scissors the mr gave me for Christmas.

They are gingher's, very nice for my sewing projects.

I got this Elsebeth Lavold angora yarn in the mail today

and wow is it ever soft.

It will be knitted into cowls by daughter knit and pearl and I.

Keep warm...

I'll let you know about those insoles.

b



favorite things...

It was the perfect 3-day weekend for us...

a little fun,

a little shopping,

a little cleaning,

and a lot of relaxing!

I was putting things away when I discovered I

 hadn't shown you any of our Christmas goodies!

Mr b loves his popcorn...

I would say he is a connoisseur.

 I love a good cup of coffee.

Isn't this chicken too cute?

Mr b and his silly golf club covers!

Would you believe he had one of them stolen?

I was due for some new Mickey Crocs.

These were just a few of our favorite things.

It was a very good Christmas for us.

b



show and tell

I made these little smocks for the granddaughters for Christmas.

This granddaughter just loves dogs.

Don't know how her parents are ever going to tell her no on a puppy some day?

Like us they have two cats.

I love sewing with novelty prints!

This is the back with two buttons.

I thought the tops resemble clothing children wore in the 1950's.

So sweet then, still sweet now.

chilly forecast

Thanks to the weatherman

 and his chilly weather forecast two days ago...

I was able to get this cowl/neck warmer knit up in time to wear today.

And I haven't taken it off all day!

This was a super easy and a quick project to whip up

 in bulky yarn on size 13 circular needles.

I think it's incentive to learn how to knit if you don't already know how.

Stay warm. b
