Roxanne Design = Love. Observations, opinions and the quest for all things beautiful. Walls… the forgotten element. I’m so knotty…. March 18, 2010. I haven’t posted in over a month. So sorry, assuming I have loyal readers out there. Wanna know what I’ve been obsessed with lately? Sewing… and more specifically altering. She’s a thing of beauty, and is now something that is looked at rather than used. Responses to “I’m so knotty…”. Feed for this Entry. March 18, 2010 at 2:19 AM. May 3, 2010 at 8:47 PM.

the slender grasshopper: October 2010

So apparently whining works. After lamenting about my poor knitting skills a few weeks ago. I've actually finished four projects since then! They are all small, but significant for me, since I have now managed to do some real lace knitting. Was a pretty easy knit - not that much effort for a really nice finished piece.

They both came out really well too! I guess I just need to find somebody with a large head. What do you do when a craft project goes awry? Thursday, November 11, 2010. Links to this post.

the slender grasshopper: I Can Sew!
http://theslendergrasshopper.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-can-sew.html
So last week I finally decided to buy the sewing machine I've been eyeing for months. It's the Brother CS6000i. Which I picked up from Amazon. I don't know that I could have found a better beginning sewing machine. It's super easy to use; I had the machine threaded and was doing practice stitches within half of hour of unpacking it. And it's a great value - there are over 50 stitches and it comes with seven different presser feet, including a buttonhole foot. Tuesday, November 09, 2010.
