Here’s another version of the easy peasy pouch. This is basically the same pouch as I posted last week but I’ve changed up the flap a little and used my Cotton & Steel fabrics. Now my music accessories match! I’m using this pouch to hold my snark, capo, and picks for my music bag. All alien words unless you play … ….oh there’s more
For many months (years?), I was using Thursdays to post about whatever quilt (or quilts) I had in progress. But I’ve really been burnt out on making quilts. Entirely my fault. I had intended to take a break after the Splendid Sampler but I jumped into two quilt-a-longs and then foolishly decided to make 3 extra quilts for Christmas gifts. … ….oh there’s more
While I think that this is an easy peasy project now, it wasn’t easy peasy for me to figure out how to make it work. I actually made three of these before I got all the bugs worked out. Here’s the last two. (the first one is in the trash!) The pouch is 6″ wide x 5 1/2″ tall and … ….oh there’s more
I planned on revealing a new pouch design today to go with the music bag from last week. But…what I’ve created so far has not been exactly what I envisioned. Still needs more work. (a lot more work!) So maybe next week. I needed something easy-peasy to whip up and when my husband suggested I make him an apron for … ….oh there’s more
Haven’t made a tote in awhile and the bag I usually drag around to my music jams was looking a bit bedraggled. So it was time to whip up another Handy Tote! Me and my uke are going north for a short visit in about six weeks so my new Handy Music Tote should coordinate with my gig bag and … ….oh there’s more
I think it was waaaaaay back in 2016 that I decided to learn how to hand embroider. And how to free motion quilt. Total failure on the free motion quilting. I bought a class at Craftsy and just can’t get into it. Maybe 2019??? (maybe never??) But I’m enjoying the embroidery. Which is a little weird because I used to … ….oh there’s more
Glad I don’t sew for a living. As long as this project took I would go broke! And here’s the story…. I bought a baritone ukulele a few years ago. Hoping to get my two granddaughters, Addison and Kendall, interested in playing. Kendall LOVED carrying it around in the bag on her back at my house. Addison wanted a guitar. … ….oh there’s more
Several years ago I planted white azaleas, white caladiums and blue hydrangeas in an attempt to have a “blue and white” garden. The hydrangeas all turned pink even though I have added the recommended fertilizer that is suppoed to keep them blue. Slowly pink flowers joined the bunch and I since then I had wished that i had planted pink … ….oh there’s more
I haven’t posted much this month. I’ve been sewing but not doing it well. Seemed everything I did turned out WRONG! For instance this little gig bag…. Some background here first. I took up the baritone ukulele several months ago. Mostly because it was sitting there in the corner looking lonely. I bought it for my two of my granddaughters … ….oh there’s more
or Winter is coming? Crazy mixed up weather this year! Where have I been? Not posting here, that’s for sure. Actually not posting anywhere. Stuff happens. Lost my network drive which really sucks since I hadn’t backed up in a few weeks. Now arguing with Western Digital. Soul crushing how long it takes to get through the bureaucracy. And then … ….oh there’s more
