Sewing Projects

One of my goals this summer was to start sewing. I've been working on a patchwork pillow, but it's going slowing due to my lack of organization. In the meantime, here are a few sewing projects that I'm liking lately:

This skirt by What Would a Nerd Wear - I love that shade of yellow

Also this skirt tutorial - Pockets!

A make-up bag by the Purl Bee

This quilt by Posy Gets Cozy

Not a pattern, but I like this dress by Wikstenmade

Yet another skirt, this one by Angry Chicken

And many more that I can't think of right now...

Back to the real world

I just got back from a very relaxing vacation to Florida and am now dealing with the post-vacation blues.




I've been knitting hats during my break. I finished one and started another. I also have some new necklaces almost ready to put up for sale in my shop that I'm excited about. Just need to put some finishing touches on them.

It's amazing how much you miss when you're away for a week. I've got lots to catch up on...

4th of July

Hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday! I'm off to celebrate by drinking lots of iced tea and staying in the a.c. I'm also planning some necklace ideas to put up for sale in the shop. Stay cool!

Planning

I haven't been knitting for a few months due to that fact that I've been finishing college and applying to grad school, but lately, I've been seeing a lot of patterns coming out that I like. This usually happens to me more when the fall collections are coming out. I really love the look of this sweater. I wish they had more pictures that showed more of the details. That mustard color is calling to me! I'm feeling the urge to pick up my needles. Although, sitting with a pile of wool in my lap when it's 90 degrees outside is preventing me for now.

Shop Update

The shop is currently stocked. Visit it here. I hope everything is correct. I was working on it during that nerve-wracking World Cup game. Go USA!

Hello

I'm Margaret. Welcome to my new blog. I've been wanting to start a blog for several years, but have never got around to it until now. I am starting an Etsy shop and decided people might want to see what inspires me. I love getting inspiration from other blogs and websites and I hope I can provide some of my own here. Thanks for visiting!
