Whats on my table

Oh it's been a while since I've done one of these!Lately, I've been a busy bee, flitting to different projects here and there like many flowers. It's keeping me content, thankfully.I'm craving a beautiful 1940's suit, and McCalls 4184 is just the ticket. I finished tracing the skirt, and will be perusing where to get…

Working in Progress

Hello everyone.Lots of things in my life are works in progress, this blog being one of them. I want to do a nice revamp, and I often mention it every other time I post. I think this weekend I'll work on it, as well as photograph some things I've acquired, and over due sewing projects…

Works in Progress

Earlier in the year I told myself I'd make myself lovely pieces of clothing, and blog about it. I've been slowly doing the making part, but slacking with the blogging. So I figured showing some of what I'm working on would help.I'm sort of stuck on which fabric I should use for the blouse, though…

Getting some sewing done

I meant to have this up a couple days ago, only to realize I hadn't even written the post. Woopsie!Well, after buying Gertie's book, I said to myself, I need to make more clothes. I noticed I feel more confident in something I've made, and a confident Carla is the best Carla to be around!…

My room is a black hole.

I'm truly convinced it is. It has managed to gobble up my blog scheduler, my camera card reader, my crochet hook I use to make granny squares, all of my written notes for crochet/knitting lessons, numerous socks, etc. I'm sure once I compete in my least favorite Olympic event 'The cleaning of the room', I'll…

Gonna be seeing spots

Ok, I was going to post Monday, but I was so lethargic. Same on Tuesday. Thankfully I can shift those posts around. Score +1 for attempting blog organization?Hopefully by this weekend, I will have started on my circle skirt.Yes, remember, ehh, this time last year when I mentioned I'll be following Casey's circle skirt a-long?…

I have plans to venture out with friends, hang out with my younger sister, and of course, craft ALL the things!I plan to do a bit of embroideryA little bit of knittingSome sewingAnd some readingThankfully for me, most of these…

Shaping up

It seems that this is slowly turning into a 'I only post my sock progress, and show you with cellphone photos' blog. Oh well.But I have made some progress with this sock knitting. It's really a nice take-a-long project. I can work on it while on my commute to school, while waiting for classes to…

Sock progress

Sooo, I started these socks on Monday evening, here it is, Thursday evening, and I'm about to start work on the heel!(apologies for the cell-phone photos, I seem to have misplaced my camera's battery charger)The pattern I'm using is A Nice Ribbed Sock from Knitting To Stay Sane. It seems pretty straightforward, but I'm sure…

Busy Weekend

I'm trying to get as many things done while I still have ample free time. Don't want to have that overworked feeling so early on in the semester!!A friend asked me to make her a panda hat the other day, and this is how far I've gotten. I need to sew on the ears, and…
