so much easier...

i finally got the internet situation, or lack thereof, fixed at the fortress. so, it will now be much easier to post more ramblings/projects. not the easiest to do off my phone.
hopefully will get some new interesting things up, even just some of my old finished bits.

2nd attempt

I think that I am going to try to get back into keeping this blog.I was never one for keeping a diary,  but chronicling projects and the like, could be interesting. So, here goes nothing

finished...

I hav finished a bunch of things recently. The Elizabeth I sweater is finished and looks fabulous. I also finished IK Trellis Lace Scarf which is currently being blocked on my bed. I have quite a few other things in the works, which is no surprise.

As for the sewing, I did get a second style designed for the second show in Boerne. However, I didn't sell anything but got heat stroke and a sunburn instead. I have FINALLY redesigned and cut the waistband on the blue-gold heriingbone pants. I still need to decide how I want to treat the cuffs. Tonight's project, methinks.

Job

I was laid off from the evil job yesterday. Perfect timing as I now have a ton of time to work on stuff for the shows in Texas.

The first sample

Show in Texas

Well, so far, so good. I have been making patterns, and the subsequent samples, for the upcoming shows with Kimmie in Texas. I haven't been this excited about design work in a really long time. I plan on taking some pics, hopefully sooner rather than later.
