and another

since i totallycopped out on making molly's halloween costume this year, i had to make SOMETHING....so i made her udders in which to carry her delicious, delicious candy (or bert).

i bought a $4 fleece baby blanket from kmart for the fabric, winged the pattern and voila! i had four cute little vintage buttons that i used as an accent on the handles, which totally make the entire thing:

and here we are in action at the parade. it was FREEZING and for some reason she wanted to be carried the whole way, but she got lots of "oohs" and "aaaws"! (i was a farmer, in case you can't tell.

o, it's been SO LONG!

i'm actually embarrassed that it's been so ridiculously long since i posted anything. i have been busy (i always say that) the problem is i've been too busy to post!

anyway, here are some of the things i've been working on:

molly's blanket: finally done. it was a debacle. i sewed the layers wrong, ripped it out, the lining fabric caused problems, ripped it out. FINALLY, with a warm middle layer of flannel (courtesy of an old sheet) it was finished.


i quilted random bugs and hearts throughout the entire blanket. it turned out really well. eventually i want to quilt more, but i ran out of red thread on my bobbin and then molly woke up from her nap, so work time was over for me.

another project i did was this yummy scarf. i have a thing for scarves. i grabbed 2 balls of this yarn awhile ago and then sat around wondering what i was going to do with it. when all else fails...knit a scarf!

i usually make absurdly long scarves, but since i knew i didn't have enough yarn for that this time around i decided to wing it. i like how it came out, and it keeps it nice and snug around my neck. (it's actually more neatly done than it looks in the picture.

that's all for this post!!
