Surprises!
Don’t you just love it when someone sends you a gift for no particular reason!?! I do.
I received a handmade needle book from one of the members of a group I belong to. It is precious! I love it. And she sent the pattern too so I can make it any time I want.
It’s decorated with hand embroidery and lace and beads. The bonnet holds a thimble and the skirt (under) holds the needles.
Thank you, CJ.
Scrub Tops
I’ve been working on a scrub top this weekend. It’s about time too, as my other tops are getting a little worn. They are easy to make and don’t take a lot of time. Thank goodness for that!
I just cut the one out. Usually, I layer the fabric and cut 2 or three at a time. Then sew them together at my convenience.
About
PHOTOGRAPHY: I love taking pictures. This all started when I was a kid. I had the infamous Kodak 110 and the Polaroid “shoot the picture out, coat with preservative” type, and 35mm Canon. Then I discovered digital. WOW! is all I can say. My first digital was a Kodak 2.5 megapixel. It was great for its time. Since then I have advanced some, currently owning a Kodak 10.1 megapixel camera with a wonderful zoom lens on it. I love being able to “see” my pictures BEFORE I print them and know that they are in the camera. Even though the 35mm was versitile, I didn’t know until the film was developed whether or not a particular picture was going to be good or not, or if the camera was working properly, etc. That can be a bummer if you’ve gone on vacation with a non-functioning 35mm and you don’t know it until you get back home.
KNITTING AND CROCHETING: Knitting is one of my most favorite things to do in addition to taking pictures.
SOFT SCULPTURED DOLLS I love sewing dolls or soft sculptured animals. They are just fun to create. Most of the time they never come out just like the photo on the pattern, but that makes them unique.
