Winter crafting




Every January, I get stricken by the "love-bug", wanting to craft Valentiney stuff, in lots of reds, with hearts. So started in small scale, and sewed up some American Girl-ish stuff for the grandnieces' dolls, and it started a sewing trend. I had not been at that machine for a month and a half, and it was like returning to an old friend, just sort of picking up the friendship where we had last let it lay.

Then I tackled a recycle project, turning a sweatshirt into a jacket, cutting it down the front, removing the stretchy bands, and sewing quilt borders on instead, then doing some quilted applique on front and back. This is a birthday present for Mom, which I plan on sending out this week. Hope she likes it enough to wear while walking along the beach in San Diego.
