Those little hiccups I had really put me in a tiring spin, I wasn't expecting. But I know in a few more days I feel better, and less like this little guy.
So I have 2 1/2 weeks left off of work. It seems like its zipping by. I am assured though my students are in good hands with a sub, they are enjoying, and hoping maybe we can work out some days along the way for her to sub when I come back.
I'm planning on going through and updating my blog. I want to create one more oriented towards sewing and crafting. I may have to work with my niece to get her help in designing the page I want, but we'll see.
In the meantime, I'm working on getting my sewing skills back in action. After 30 pounds of fat loss, a girl has to update her wardrobe.
these pieces are definitely on my wardrobe plans
1st this fun sweatshirt dress. I love sweatshirt dresses in the winter with leggings especially! so Kwik Sew 3718 is on my list!
Next on my List is this McCalls Dress 6278. I saw it made up in a houndstooth black and white pattern that was just as sharp as can be. Perfect spring summer dress for me. I can rock a sleeveless dress all year, with a jacket or sweater.
Lastly I want to make a lightweight jacket maybe along denim lines or in some linen for summer. I must remember we are traveling abroad this summer.
I haven't decided on a pattern yet for the jacket.
I figure this will get me started and I have a couple gift items to work on as well.
I have cute downloaded hat pattern for baby called Scout! My cousins daughter is having a little boy this summer and will definitely need a few of these darling chapeau's. Also a few matching pacifier bibs to go along. Not all babies are pacifier babies, mine wasn't, but you never know.
For January I was able to finish the scarf I was working on, made from a silk blend. It needs to shaped, and then i will take pictures. I also was able to finish a little baby had for the NICU. I try to make a dozen of these a year to drop off at different times. My niece was a NICU baby and I don't know if she was lucky enough to have cute knitted hats that were soft. I try to use the softest yarns, generally bamboo or synthetic/nylon blends. The nylons offer the softest hand.
Hope you have a healthy day friends
