So, I have fallen out of the blogging habit, again, and now I'm behind. I actually don't know where to start. How about the beginning of school projects? That sounds reasonable. A1 and I decided to DIY back to school this year. Instead of buying a new school bag, we decided to up-cycle a pair of jeans that had holes in them. This is what we came up with.
She wanted short handles so it didn't bounce around too much. She loves it and now I want one!
A3 and I made fall napkins with "Pumpkins gone wild" from Moda and "Big Dot" also from Moda.
I feel like I'm back in my mom's kitchen circa '78. We had canisters in these exact colors.
I have also been busy knitting and making soaps for a baby shower. It's twins, so two blankets and two little cupcakes soaps for the shower guests.
What fun! The blankets are knit with Blue Sky Alpaca, Skinny dyed, with a pattern from Larissa and Martin Brown's Knitalong. It's Larissa's pinwheel blanket pattern. It was lots of fun to knit. I'm considering knitting a giant one for my living room, all in fall colors. Add it to the list.
Seriously, Can I just come live with you? You are so inspiring! Love the baby blankets and everything cupcake!
Sorry I didn't get to catch up with you on Sunday. Hope to see you again soon.

You can come and stay with us anytime you want! I would love to have you come and make when you are here, but you are always so busy. Call me when you are in town again.
