Sewing again!

It always is a good day sewing!  I made new curtains for the bathroom window.  They have been just white muslin for about 20 years.

We just repainted the bathroom (was it 3 or 4 coats to cover white with white??)

Decided we needed a change.  I found these curtains at a thrift store and remade them the fit the window.  Michael and I both agree they are still a little too sheer on the bottom.  We should be able to get by for a while with it being winter but will have to find a solution of some kind...  I do like the color though it is strange after so many years of just white.

Of course the new year wouldn't be complete without Pete in the sewing room today.

And her favorite spot - on the ironing board.

Did some assembly sewing on some tiny squares that are not cut even and are so old...who could have possibly cut all of these out......(me).

Good to get something going with them.

2012 - 52 Weeks of Crafting

I am working on an all wool felt table topper.  So far I have the base cut out, have cut and sewn 8 baskets, 8 stars and today sewed on 64 little flowers.  This photo isn't very good but will have many more to come before this project is completed!

Just to clarify the goal for the new year:

I will do some kind of crafting and blog about it

each week of the year for 52 weeks.

Let's see how this goes.

Should be a breeze compared to 2009

when I did 365 days of crafting!!

Happy New Year!
