HAPPY
NEW YEAR!
I hope everyone has
a wonderful and safe New Year! I have
been lucky enough to get quite a bit of time off around the holidays this year,
so I have been sewing some. I downloaded Mr. Mercedes (by Stephen King) on
my Nook and have been reading that. I also have discovered Sons of Anarchy on
Netflix. I know, I know. Where the hell have I been? Well, I can only watch so
many shows a week as we don’t have a DVR. But, boy I am glad I found it. The
added bonus of watching 5 or 6 episodes a night is now I have been dreaming
about it as well. I wake up and think- “when was Gemma driving a school bus in last
night’s episode?” and “when did we get a pool table?”. I then realize that it was
all a dream haha. I have really enjoyed it- wonderful acting, great characters
and Charlie Hunnam’s naked butt now and then. What’s not to love? I highly
recommend it if you have not seen it yet.
Now back to sewing. Last weekend I sewed a new
cover for my Nook and a matching bag to carry it in. My old cover wasn’t bad,
but there was not anywhere in it to store the charger. The pattern is by
Whistlepig, and patterns for both the cover and bag were included.
Then I moved on to my latest BOM block from High Prairie quilts.
Then I decided to
sew a few bags with a pattern from Fig Tree. I had the canvas on hand-
shocking, I know. I also had a charm
pack and yardage stashed and used a little bit of that up. I thought at first
the pattern sucked, then I realized of course it was the dumbass reading the
pattern that was the issue. I should have labeled all of the parts as I was
cutting them, but NOOOO. I had to rip apart a few seams on the first bag, but
the 2nd went a lot more smoothly. Must have been the ham hangover
from Christmas day- yes, lets blame it on that. They were fun to do, and you
don’t need interfacing as the canvas gives the bag plenty of body. Added bonus!
That is about all I got done- that damn show
has been taking up a lot of my free time. I hope to get more sewing done this
weekend and will share pics for you!
Hugs to you all!
Thank you coming along with me on this blog ride! I hope to do some fun things
next year with you!
