Well, so much for getting any sewing done recently. I could use the holidays as an excuse, but even before the holidays I wasn't getting much done. The blankets are competing against cooking for my time. It's an old love that resurfaced this year. Actually it's not just cooking, it's preserving, canning, freezing; all of that process stuff. Plus, we invested in a stand alone freezer this year and I've tried my darndest to pack that baby full! At the end of the summer I froze everything I could find. Did you know you can freeze lemons and limes?? What a boon! Maybe I should start a separate blog for my food frenzy - more on that later.
Anyway, I did do some monogrammed pincushions (ho hum), and Santa brought me a tripod for my camera so I've been experimenting with video lessons of my wool projects. But, as for completing any new blankets? nada. Don't give up on me, I will get back to them...but now I have a taste for some summer grapes I froze. They're in the back of the freezer I think.
I make blankets, throws, hats and scarves from fine second-hand wool sweaters. It is a combination of scavenging, felting, designing and sewing that appeals to me and luckily to a few others who have chosen to buy them.
When I was looking around to find out how to do it people were very generous both personally and anonymously via the web. In the spirit of passing along considered thoughts, musings, learnings...and maybe a little humor this is my way of giving back a little of what I know. Please enjoy.
About Subscribing
In case you are not familiar with how Subscribing works I thought I might explain. Bloggers add new posts rather randomly - some daily, some weekly, some every-once-in-awhile. If you don't want to have to keep checking their site subscribing allows you to be alerted when there is a new post - and you have choices as to how to receive it - via email, your reader or home page. Give it a try.
