New Toy!!!

New toy, new toy, yeahhhhhh!!!
It's a Juki DDL-5550-6 computerized straight stitch machine. You can also see (the box at least) my new gravity fed iron. I also got a button hole attachment, and a binder, and 4 different feet.....happy new toys!!

Loveys

As you can see, the bear did get eyes in the end :)
He also got two friends (who have already gone to their new home). Two lovies (or blankets with heads), they were fun to make! I also have a much higher respect of anyone who works with this stuff and/or fur in general. Sheds every where, slipper as sin, if you pin it, it still slips...like I said, fun!

Minky Teddy

I brought home some minky (aka microfiber fleece) last night so the boy and I made a teddy bear.

I know I keep posting "almost" finished things, such as he still needs eyes, but this is what I'm excited about :) The good news is, it looks like the picture on the pattern! I think I found a few ways to improve it for the next one...

Daisy Dress

I didn't know what to make yesterday and had the fabric, soooo.... It still needs button holes and to hem the bottom. I'll be darned if I can ever learn to tie the big bow like in the picture. Anyone need a size 3T dress?

Dark Lord

The long begged for cloak of Anakin...his first response upon see it was, "where are the boots that go with it?" AHHHHHHHH :)

We'll see how much of a complete costume he'll get, but in the mean time I have plenty of that fabric (poly suede) left to play with. It's actually more dark brown than the black that it looks like here. Didn't have a pattern, but it's just a hooded circle cloak with arm holes. It's been fun to make something for no reason.

Sketch

Train sketch from a while ago...I was planning on putting something in the middle, just never decided what.

2 months later...

Yeahhhh!! Working on something again!
It's been a long few months. Moved, filed divorce papers, general lack of sanity...:) But now life is starting to develop a routine again so I'm hoping this BACK notice won't be a one time thing. The pieces above are for a blanket I'm making for a friend. They are cotton seersucker, and I have a micro suede to back it with. They wanted a NO PINK girly gift.
