Design mode

I seem to be in design mode this month. I have a pattern for a really cute sweater jacket for a little girl, but I wanted a sweater jacket for an adult, so I took the pattern, expanded and added as required to make it into an adult sweater. It's coming along very well.

I received my copy of "A Needle Pulling Thread" magazine yesterday. Looks good! Julia Bryant has a fabulous pattern for a little purse in there in Tunisian crochet. I love it! If you have never seen Julia's work, it's just amazing. Very easy to work with, the colours are bright and well blended.

I have also been working on sewing projects this week. Although it has been awhile, I pulled out one of my many bins and sorted into what could be done, what needed ironing, what was ready for sewing and started sewing. I am half finished a flannel nightgown, half finished a pants suit and half finished a pair of shorts. It's amazing how quickly things go together when you actually work on them. I finished the shell of two pop tops as well, but I thought I might crochet an edging on the top and bottom.

Well I suppose I should do some work today.

Busy month

The last month has been very busy. With a birthday and Mother's Day every weekend in May, it was hard to keep up. But I made it through...

I just got through the Mississauga Heritage Garage Sale last weekend, which was long. I arrived at The Grange at 5:50am and left at around 5:00pm. As I said, long...

Sunday, I taught a class with my Mom assisting on Basic Crochet. It was a three hour class held at Mississauga Heritage. I think it was a success as we talked about having another class in July.

I have recently been moved to the Sales Department. Although the desk has changed and I rarely do accounting functions, everything else is pretty much the same. I still do travel arrangements, print liaison, filing, phones, couriers, etc. The only thing is now I don't have twenty things to do at once, I have one maybe two. I think I am going crazy with boredom.

Ah well, lunchtime... be back later.
