a Scrap of Life: July 2012
http://ascrapoflife.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 6, 2012. Shortly after arriving here in Saskatchewan, I realized that I was going to really miss being without a sewing machine for the entire summer. So, the hunt was on for a new-to-me vintage machine that was inexpensive and that wouldn't require a lot of work to get up and running. After stalking Kijiji for over a week, the perfect machine finally appeared:. And this weird brownish stain on the machine bed, that almost looks like a kind of flash/burn mark. Hopefully I'll be able to r...

Simply Sewing and Knitting. Shhh It’s A Secret. December 15, 2014. I made this for my mom to go along with her gift card for Christmas. My mother loves gift cards and thinks the notion that they are impersonal is hogwash. Even so I wanted to include something from the heart. Ice cream is the great love of her life other than her children. So she will know how much she means to me. I hope she likes it. A Repeat Was Sewn. One thought on “ Shhh It’s A Secret.

Simply Sewing and Knitting. Monthly Archives: January 2015. What’s Been Going On? January 3, 2015. First of all I hope everyone had Happy Holidays. It went by in a whirlwind didn’t it? The yarn is my favorite workhorse yarn Austermann Step in color 31. The people at Austermann Step have it easy. They don’t have to think of cutesy name for yarn colors. I don’t think I could dye yarn because I couldn’t name it. I would just be like this is called Brown. Bam. Well Happy New Year. What’s Been Going On?

Simply Sewing and Knitting. Monthly Archives: December 2013. December 30, 2013. This month from Plucky Classics is a nice purple called I Feel Pretty. The inspiration for the color is A West Side Story. Yes the yarn is nestled in fabric. There is some heavy quilt work going on in my household lately and it seemed appropriate. I was asking myself when should I cancel my Plucky subscription. Well cancellation has a few things going against it. This is the only yarn coming in right now. December 27, 2013.

Simply Sewing and Knitting. Monthly Archives: January 2014. The Upside of Frogging. January 15, 2014. 1 The yarn can be used for something new and exciting. 2 New projects can be cast on without guilt. After seeing beautiful Tanis Fiber Arts yarn at AmphibiaKnits. It reminded me of my own stash of Tanis. I knew I wanted to knit with Iris so I wound it up quickly. Isn’t she pretty? January 13, 2014. My daydreaming is officially over. Thanks for taking the ride with me if you are still reading ha! I’...

Simply Sewing and Knitting. Monthly Archives: September 2014. September 30, 2014. Last week after my perceived epic quilt fail I decided to make a bag I had been wanting to make for a while. Instead of relying upon my husband or daughter for help in fabric choices I went to a Facebook group I belong to. I’ve found a new enthusiastic helper in the masses on facebook. Its great! So when I got to the paper piecing portion I had no choice but to dive in. There were some hiccups. Luckily I have extra ...There...

a Scrap of Life: Teach a Class, Take a Class

Monday, March 11, 2013. Teach a Class, Take a Class. I have a couple of fun adventures coming my way in the near future. First, I'll be teaching a class next weekend at my LYS (local yarn shop), Trish's Crafty Corner. The class is learning the two-colour brioche stitch, also known as slipped-stitch colourwork. The pattern I'll be using is the NewsPrint Cowl by Haven Leavitt. Here's one I did for last year's Ravellenic Games in Patons Silk Bamboo:. I foll owed the pin to her incredible blog Elvie Studio.

a Scrap of Life: April 2011
http://ascrapoflife.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 21, 2011. A Design of My Own. Several weeks ago, I went to my weekly knit-in and brought my current project in a little Japanese Knot Bag which I'd made from a Martha Stewart pattern. Patterns for two different knitting project bags. They're each sized to carry a smallish project. socks, mittens, a scarf or similar. Friday, April 8, 2011. So a few posts ago, I shared the awesome home decor weight fabric I had picked up to make Amy Butler's Blossom Bag. A couple of detail shots. The ha...
