Absent for a while...

Have been busy and not blogging... still following lots of interesting folks!   


I entered two tops in Made by Rae's Spring Top Sewalong .  My tops didn't get selected but I had a lot of fun sewing for myself.  One pattern was a tutorial from Rae's Web page, and I bought the other one online as a pdf.

Rayon-linen blend... have already worn to work :)

Love the colors! Fabric is a bit stiff... 

doesn't drape as well as I would like, but still looks good.

 Pics for Rae's contest had to be headless :)

Have almost finished Ada's sweater....just need to assemble the pieces! 

I was not very far along at this point...

Signin' out....!

Milestone birthday...

Company is arriving and food and flowers are stacking up. 

My MIL turns 80 TODAY - and her kids have planned a big shindig and celebration Saturday.  She will have a great time visiting with all her family and the other folks joining us for lunch and visiting.

Old friends from Kansas flew out for the occasion and surprised her this morning... happy tears from all!

Sew busy...

I keep a list of sewing projects on my iPhone. I don't want to forget some of the inspiring fat-quarter sets I have, and the ready-to-go charm packs. 

Have been concentrating - of course! - on sewing for little gals, and guys.

Here are a couple quick accomplishments. 

 

Two crib sheets for Miss M...the lower one is flannel and the top one is cotton.  Nice and bright!

The green flannel two-sided receiving blanket is for a yet-to-be born boy.

I love the top pattern!  Really cheerful!

"The Voice" is calling... time to pickup my knitting!
