Now that I finally finished the Beast bag, it's time to move on to the next thing on the list...or take a break and try to set up the rest of my craft studio! After a 5 hour Ikea trip, I have a table top for my cutting station, a stool to use at it (or my kids will now have a place to sit as they hover and watch me sew), dividers for my vinyl shelves, and some more boxes for random organizing! Now it just all needs put together....but I started at least!
 |
| Not a good shot, but the grey is a divider that hooks onto the middle of the shelf, so now the bottom vinyls might get less squished...maybe |
 |
| Look at all that space for cutting...or activities! |
Eventually the table top will be secured to the shelves -- hopefully pretty soon since I seem to stumble around and bounce off stuff when I'm doing late night sewing. There were so many other ideas of fun organizing I saw at Ikea, but with limited wall space (shelves for fabric!), I had to resist the urge to buy all the things. Thursday is my birthday, so I'm taking a vacation day to do either everything I want, or nothing at all. I haven't decided yet, but either way it will be awesome!
Current Projects:
- Teacher purses (school's out, but they are willing to wait -
fabrics all picked out, pattern printed and half cut out, goal is to
finish before the end of July - in 5 days....)

some face details, and maybe a swimsuit to wear when she's not in her
tail...bikini sort of works...made up my own pattern and it's
interesting...
- Chunky Unicorn Blanket - almost finished up to the hood, then just ears, horn, and fringe!
- Figuring out C2C (corner to corner) crochet with some random scarfie
yarn...ran out of yarn before I finished! Now to decide if I frog back
with yarn that hates being undone, or buy another skein if I can find
it...
- Started the Mermaid tail towel, hopefully will come together fast since it using a giant hook and thick yarn.
- Started working on cowls for the fall because they are mindless and
fast...but I really should totally finish them, not leave them with
tails and button-less...
