I am progressing s-l-o-w-l-y on my n.b. t-shirt. I have come to terms I get bored and I know I dislike repetetion and I prefer instant gratification. Well this is my progress on my sweater t-shirt thus far and my hourglass sweater I started a sleeve and well... OK, so its been really hot here in SoCal and really I won't be wearing them until the winter and... I know what a lame excuse but truth be told they are currently lingering as UFO's. But I did make this cute stuffed felt poofy pillowy I don't quite know what it is yet thing. My fashionista daughter named it a strawberry shortcake. I should have put sand in the base so it could be a pincushion. I am getting reved up for my backtack work of art. I kinda have a gameplan for my notion/needle case for my pal but, I have too many ideas so there! Alert! The Big Green Monster has been spotted. I am so jealous I have been surfing some of the other blogs in the back-tack exchange all I can say is I am humbled. There are some very talented people in this group. The research and sites linked to their blogs and some of the fabric stashes alone. I know I would love a knitting needle/notions case and I would also love a travel type of small case to carry in my purse or knitting tote. Psst! in the picture under my knitting is my knitting bag it is made from vintage fabric and I just love it. About two years ago I needlepointed a scissor case and I ended up lining it with some vintage japanese fabric it usually is always in my purse but now it is so abused I have a darning needle in there and stitch markers and a cable stitch holder (for the long awaited day I learn to cable) and a seam riper. I am off to ponder on my artistic meanderings...
