Some things I want to try...

* Elsie's Woodgrain Mat (from a Simple Mat) Katherine's Fabric Shower Curtain (from Vintage Sheets) I'm going to make mine from this sheet I've been saving... Lacy's Mini Album (from a Clear DVD Sleeve) I can't wait to use my Flight of the Concords clear sleeve!... Amy's Little Tunics Red & Grey (from Big Shirts) Tonight Jill and I are picking up takeout and getting together at her Studio to work together and hangout :) I'm stitching Camera Straps and she's making some kind of superlong Finger Knit Garland. I think it's like this... Katherine's Finger Knit Garland (Knitting with No Needles) What are you working on or dreaming up these days?

  1. Love this! That gray shirt redo is EXACTLY what I needed! I bought this gray dress at Tarjay last year and have never worn it because it's so unflattering on me. But this is perfect to do a little redo. Can't wait to work some magic on it!

  5. i really need to try this finger knitting i keep hearing about! but in the meantime, i am working on making my own 2010 planner/organizer, plus a daily december art journal, plus coming up with some ideas for homemade/handmade xmas gifts (actually it's more like i need to just decide on a few ideas, i have WAY too many in my mind right now). i want to try and make every single gift i give this year (which is kind of hard for some of the boy-recipients, but i'll come up with something)!

  14. My kids bathroom is in dire need of a nice shower curtain (currently only a liner) my goal is to raid my moms linen cupboard (she keeps everything!) and see if she still has some of our old bedsheets...what I'd really like to find would be my old Holly Hobbie bed set, or the Strawberry Shortcake set....{dream}
    Hope you're well LA xx

  20. Love the idea of making a mini from a dvd cover, genius! (also love flight of the concords). You should check out The mighty Boosh. It's insane, but brilliant. I'm currently crocheting a bag, it's my first attempt to crochet anything!
