As mentioned in my previous post, we have babies and lots of 'em! So, I wanted to make something for Amber's Wedding/Baby shower. They are pretty sure it's a boy (after this blankie, I sure hope so!) So, OBO really wants to keep this one, too. Really? He's a packrat! This is super-cute, though! An alien blankie with the soft minky dots on one side. Also, a burp cloth and bib set (well, two of them in the mix-and-match prints. I will keep the other set for more babies).
I'm having a lot of fun with my sewing machine, but there will be some bribing going on soon. I have a cute pattern for a diaper bag, but I think it may be a little beyond my ability at this point. I tried interfacing once; it didnt work out so hot. I am in the process of trading spinning for sewing. My cousin is a fabulous seemstress (sp?), as is my "bestie" (hehehe, sorry, Im a little punchy). Haley, however, lives in NYC, so not so practical at this point.
Finally finished up my samples for the Phat Fiber box this month. It was a rough one, mostly because I really wanted to do my signature stitch markers, but my finger nails had other plans. It hurt. My thumbs were swollen for about three days, but it was well worth it! This month's theme was "Master Painters". I went for inspiration by Warhol. I love Andy; he's a genius with color and inspiration. So, I give you: DK weight wool in "Warhol's Marilyn" and stitch markers inspired by his "Butterflies". I sure hope they get there in time for the box!
