It has been a while. I was doing so well blogging regularly, then life happened. I like it when life happens in a good way. But I also miss blogging and updating.
I visited my hometown Alexandria, Egypt.
I finished my second color affection.
I bought an insane amount of yarn.
From a really ancient yarn store, so ancient in fact that this is the cash register.
I started to use up the yarn.
And finished the knee highs for my daughter. They turned out awesome, except for the fact that I made the decreases on the wrong side on one of them. But you can't really see it unless you are a knitter and I told you about it.
I cast on a pair of gym socks for myself. Because nothing beats hand knit socks at the gym.
Crocheted a little more squares for my sock yarn blanket.
Started reading Pipi Longstocking with my daughter. She is loving it. We just finished Ramona and Beezus. I also want to read Mary Poppins with her next.
I bought this cool fabric from IKEA last week and planned on making totes with it then coloring them, but the 6 year old said she didn't want a bag. So she got a skirt instead. It has pockets too. She loves pockets and so do I. I just love these quick and easy sewing projects.
She was so excited to color it in. We did part of one side then left it to completely dry because it felt that it might bleed. We used a thick page of cardboard underneath while coloring and it did bleed thru a little. I am going to seal it in after it is all done by ironing it.
So there you have it. A busy couple of weeks. But the good kind of busy.
Hope you are all happily making stuff too.
