Day 2 -TMAD

Back to work tomorrow. :-( This will reaaalllly cut into my crafting time. Well, I am employed and that a good thing. It supports my fabric, fiber and toys that go with it. Well a quick update:

Weaving: another 6" woven plus a start of pattern repeat
Knitting: OWL project-started the first row of the lace pattern, when complete it's time to separate for the sleeves
Spinning: spun for 40 minutes. Had to finish the portion I separated
Quilting: Texas BOM-1st of 2 panels together. I will be using pearl cotton #8 to do the buttonhole stitch.


Have to get ready for a 0230 wake up! The gym calls me at 0430, MWF.

Until next time.......

Day 1 -Thirty Minutes a Day

This is how I began my day. Indeed a perfect day for crafting. Project updates:
Weaving - I added 4 more inches to my "AKA Sorority Color" table runner.
Knitting - completed the eyelet increases, 7 rows of garter stitch on my OWL project. I think 1.5 - 2 inches more of garter stitch
before starting the lace pattern.



Quilting - decided to blanket stitch "Texas Out Texas" for block #1 instead of machine applique.
Spinning - Corriedale fleece, lots of it! This is what I spun today:



This is what's left. BTW, I have five more of the same to spin. Thanks MDS&W!



Until next time.........

Thirty Minutes A Day

It's Saturday morning with snow falling outside. Just enough to give a "dusting" to the ground. While watching the snow, mentally planning my day, I decided that I would devote thirty minutes a day working on the fabric and fibery things I enjoy. Not to say this is the only time that I will give to my projects. I will certainly work on some a little more than others. This is my solution of working on each individual project every day. With the snow outside, what better day to start than today? My goal is to post daily for the next 30 days in hopes that it will become second nature. At times my posts may only be a "snippet" of progress, but a post none the less.

So, with that stated, I will be adding a new post later today starting the beginning of "Thirty Minutes A Day".
