Sewing Project Finished

Image
I finished my sewing project. This is a case for storing circular knitting needles. The pattern I used is an old Butterick Pattern B5006 . I found it on Ebay but it's also available on the Butterick web site . The outside is from a remnant I found in the stash. It's from Timeless Treasures Tree of Life collection. I used this fabric to make a small knitting bag for carrying small projects called  the boxy bag  a few years ago. The pockets are made with some quilting fabric I bought for another sewing project that I didn't get to yet. It's supposed to be lining for a tote bag, but I liked it for these pockets. The background fabric is something I found at Joann's a few weeks ago. There are 12 pockets in this little case. Every one of them with curved corners. I got pretty good at sewing those corners by the time I got to the 12th one. It will hold a lot of needles. As sewing jobs go, it's not my best, but better than I expected. Except the top stitching. I am so ...

Silver Rope

Image
I have a new silver rope necklace. Finished it this week. It's just a simple piece done in Spiral Rope stitch.  I used matte black for the core, and silver lined crystal and nickel seed beads for the spiral. It has a simple toggle clasp. Nice to have it finished. Hmm, I think I'll start a Christmas ornament cover next. Layette set #26 is just about done. I just have to block it and sew a button on the cardigan. We're getting lots of rain. It has cut back on the wild fires around here. I'm glad about that. More rain is expected for the next few days. As long as it isn't snow, I'm happy. Live long and prosper. \\//

Summer Update

Image
As I said yesterday, It's been a busy summer. Here's an update. The Ocean Spray we transplanted has died. Gonna try again. My knee is healing, slowly. I have periods with no pain now. I've been getting Physical Therapy which is helping quite a bit. We went on our annual week long camping trip to Priest Lake. It was a lot of fun. I did a lot of walking, which was hard on my sprained knee, but I think in the long run it was good for me. Despite the knee, I find I'm in much better physical shape than I've been in a long time. For instance, the walk from our camp site to the beach involves a steep hill. I've always had to huff and puff my way up it. This year I didn't huff and puff. That was a surprise. One day we went on a hike up Lionshead Creek trail. I wanted to go up to my favorite place on this trail. I forgot my main camera, but I had my phone with me. It took surprisingly good pictures. One of the granite peaks viewed from the parking lot of the trail. I...
