We returned home Saturday afternoon, and I spent most of the day in the sewing room. I finished a big project, and then Jill came over for another little sewing adventure. She wanted to make some bibs for a good friend. This friend is adopting a baby in the upcoming weeks, and Jill really wanted to give her a handmade gift.
Here's her first bib, in an adorable Laurie Wisbrun print. We used a template found here. We made pizza, too, using my favorite dough recipe!
Sunday, I woke up early, got some errands done, and finished bee blocks for Sara, wonky houses.
I don't know why, but house blocks always intimidate me. I think the finished quilt will be very fun!
After making some tortilla soup to enjoy this week, I quilted a little project I finished a few weeks ago and Olias promptly tested it for me.
This will be a baby gift for someone in the next few months.
I finished the evening with some knitting and a little Mad Men. I was able to finish this first sock, and I'm determined to cast on the second very soon. Pattern and yarn info here.
So, how was YOUR weekend?
I LOVE those house blocks!!! So much.
ReplyDeleteI love Galveston. The husband and I are thinking about driving down soon for an early evening swim.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about kitties and craft projects? Everytime I lay out something to block it's like my little beasts have radar and make a beeline for it. I thought cats hated water? I guess that doesn't include wet wool.
sounds like you had a productive weekend! i love the house blocks. thanks for plugging away!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely weekend! despite being sick, i got to go to a friend's wedding, see my mom, and do some knitting while watching the olympics. if only i had time to do some sewing, it would have been perfect.
