Butter & Sugar: February 2012
http://butterandsugar.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 22, 2012. I've finished a table runner. This is the only project I've ever designed myself, down to researching quotes and songs about Virginia until I found the one that seemed just right. And the birds are still merrily singing away.

Butter & Sugar: A Sewing Lesson
http://butterandsugar.blogspot.com/2011/01/sewing-lesson.html
Saturday, January 22, 2011. During Christmas break, we invited three girls over for a sewing lesson. My niece received a sewing machine for Christmas and was eager to break it in, and two of my daughter's best friends are also interested in sewing. We used Simplicity pattern 3553 (Learn to Sew series) and some fun flannel from JoAnn Fabrics. Four hours (and one glass of wine) later, they modeled the result:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Butter & Sugar: November 2011
http://butterandsugar.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 18, 2011. The Miracle of the Knitting Loom. I've been knitting. It tickles me to say that, because I'm not a knitter. My Nan taught me how to knit more than once, and I made a scarf a long time ago, but I just never reached the point of being comfortable with it. Remembering how much I enjoyed spool knitting when I was little (mine was made with an actual spool and nails, but Lion Brand Yarn has an adorable modern version. I asked for a set of knitting looms. All hail the knitting loom!

Butter & Sugar: For the Tuesday Afternoon Sewing Guild
http://butterandsugar.blogspot.com/2011/10/for-tuesday-afternoon-sewing-guild.html
Thursday, October 27, 2011. For the Tuesday Afternoon Sewing Guild. Inside the box.bittersweet from her yard:. Cotton she picked. I've never seen "real" cotton on the stem. It's surprisingly soft and completely charming. Feathers from the ducks, geese, birds, and peacocks she volunteers with. And in case we weren't already Cloud 9 with all these goodies, she's sending us to. I'm quite sure there's never been a luckier Tuesday Afternoon Sewing Guild. Thank you, Aunt Suzanne!

Butter & Sugar: July 2011
http://butterandsugar.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 31, 2011. My Brownie troop rallied yesterday to raise funds for the upcoming Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk by donating crafts, home-baked goods, their time, and their remarkable sales skills. Some of the girls made potholders, bird houses, and friendship bracelets; and the moms baked all sorts of goodies, including beignets and caramel cake. Olivia and I made keychains using the weaving technique. We learned at Girl Scout camp, cinnamon-scented soap, our favorite granola from Smitten Kitchen.

Butter & Sugar: The Pom-Pom Scarf
http://butterandsugar.blogspot.com/2011/11/pom-pom-scarf.html
Tuesday, November 01, 2011. I placed an order for linen and pom-poms the minute I saw this scarf posted on The Purl Bee. I have mixed feelings about Purl. I adore their projects, but when I finally got to visit the shop in NYC one year, the staff wasn't as warm as I'd imagined they'd be. Maybe it was just the naivetee of a small-town girl in the big city, I don't know. My finished scarf didn't earn the seal of approval around here ("Really, Mom? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Butter & Sugar: December 2011
http://butterandsugar.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 13, 2011. I've had to edit my Christmas stitching list down to only a very few items for lack of time, but I'm happy to say I finished three of them recently. The puppet scarf ( pattern via Red Heart Yarns. Is for my niece. And the hat/scarf set is for her little brother. I used my loom. For the hat and made it in less than an hour. The coordinating scarf took a bit longer, but both were the products of a rare and wonderfully quiet Sunday parked in a rocking chair next to the heater.
