First it was my computer, and now my camera has about had it. This makes it significantly harder to update, and even though I'm not slowing down on making things, probably there won't be new posts until after I get my tax rebate. :)
Things I've been working on recently, that I can't show pictures of:
Two days ago I made two paired bunny rabbits for a friend's birthday, they were very marshmallow shaped, and about 18" tall. Both made out of fleece, one was white with a light blue side gusset, and a cute smiley face, the other was purple with a dark blue gusset, and a killer bunny face.
I have also been working on a quilt, the first I've ever made following any sort of instructions (2 books: Lap Quilting with Georgia Bonesteel for square patterns, and First Time Quilting for general tips on assembling the thing). It turned out alright, I think I had intuitively already kind of gotten myself on the right track for what I needed to do and where I needed to go, but it was interesting making up the squares and seeing what the book told me to do vs. what I would have done on my own. This project was worked on in conjunction with a couple friends, with some minimal tutoring, they were able to work my sewing machine and cut the fabric (the rotary cutter makes this very easy), allowing me time to plan out and supervise, and complete the parts that involved a little more know-how. It was a fun experience though, working with friends, as I usually complete a project start to finish all on my own!
