I took some time off from sewing, crocheting, and crafting during the Holidays to let my wrist rest a bit. It was sure nice, but I did not like seeing my projects sitting around! I have eased back in, starting slowly on a few things. I am impatiently waiting on a package from the fabric store. I hate waiting. Especially when cute cute fabrics are on their way!
I like to have a few slower projects to work on. This reminds me of Eddy on Absolutely Fabulous "Eddy pie-hands"!
One project is for the evening times, when I let my husband have the control of the remote.
When I first saw this vibrant bird & floral print, "talavera" by The Alexander Henry Fabric Collection, well I knew that I had to make something out of it!
I still haven't decided if I'm going to make myself a tote bag, or a couple of pillows for the couch, or even just a large floor pillow. Decisions decisions. Luckily, with tackling embroidering it, I have lots of time to decide just what this piece of material will become. I love the freedom I am giving myself in the embroidery. Just free-flowing and whatever size I stitch it!
Another project that I am working on is creating my own crochet pattern for a market/veggie bag. I like that I can tuck the project into my shoulder bag, for those photo walks I follow my husband on. Or when I'm waiting. You get the idea.
Now for some sewing!
I have dug out some pink corduroy and I have been playing around with a jumper pattern.
