KIDS SHOPPING BAG

This is so adorable

I just had to share it with you.

Don't you just love this idea?

It's fun, and colorfull and

also a great idea

for a fun and

educational activity.

I found it at

http://www.she-wears-flowers.com/2011/03/tutorial-kids-shopping-book.html

and I'm definitely going to make it

for my grand daughter!!!

THE REASON WHY MY WORK IS GOING SO SLOWLY

Well, the title says it all...

How can I possibly sew with such

a nosy companion

(hey... I'm not complaining... he he).

Pinky is really sweet and I absolutely love her company, but I haven't been able

to work at the same rate I was used to

before she got here.

But her loving and purring

totally compensate this...

However, I managed to make some

more butterflies for the Pom Pom lap quilt.

 I decided to use it and just add things

(embroidery, appliques)

whenever I have time and feel like it.

No pressure! Is this heaven or what?

KNIT UPDATE

Haven't been up to much lately.

Just some quiet knitting,

nothing thrilling.

So, I'm working on my knit patches

(remember? for destashing wool?),

but it's nice and very rewarding.

And besides, with a little hyper active kitten

by my side, it's very hard to work

on something more challeging...

for the time being...

I hope...

BUTTERFLIES

Whenever Pinky let's me

(yes, that's Tinkerbell's nickname),

which is not very often,

I try to get on with my work.

I've been trying to free motion

my lap quilt, but so far

it has been very difficult.

Problems with thread tension,

with wrinkling, and with design...

So parts of it I quilt on the machine,

others I do by hand,

and I'm even embroidering

and appliquing some

in an effort to make it easier,

but still attractive.

So far, these are my results:
