Last Month

Spring cleaning ate up most of my spare time in May, but I did get a few things done. The first project I finished was this amigurumi great white shark.

After that I made a peach.

I finished an old UFO to make this friendship star wall runner.

Finally I kept up with my crochet calendar mood project for another month. Although I was sick for three days I had only two negative mood days, which is excellent for me. The color I used most often in May was Happy at six times, followed by Content and Busy, both at five times. I actually ran out of my yarn for Busy, so I found a shade close to it and added Busy 2 to the project. I expect Happy will be the next yarn to run out.

I did not expect this poject to grow as big as it has, but I'm delighted that it is already so sizeable. By the end of this month I will hit the midway point, which will give us a good idea of just how large the blanket will be. Stay tuned to the blog to see how I fare in June.

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

Fell Off the Wagon

I did cut up that plastic dollar tote to make into something stronger, but got caught up with work and set it aside. Then last night some hand-dyed silk and pretty threads called my name, and, well . . . Felt SO good to do some handwork, except my neck began hurting about an hour into it. I tried changing the way I sit and work, but it's pretty obvious that the doc is right.

Progress

My guy is back home safe, sound and exhausted. I think he just realized he's over seventy now. :) I didn't finish a sewing project while he was gone, but I did make some progress on the beach bag. I've tacked down all the fabric elements on top of the old backing fabric I quilted. Time to break out the embroidery thread box and have some fun.
