Another school house tunic and pillows

I was looking at our fabric in the shop on Thursday, thinking of another Schoolhouse Tunic. The Ceylon line from Hoffman caught my eye and after getting everyone's opinion, I decided to try it. I really love the way it turned out. I finished it in time to wear it to our big sale yesterday. When I got to work, there was Lizy in her's and then Katelyn walked in with her  awesome version of the Torii Tunic by Serendipity studios. Let's just say, I think our outfits sold a few patterns.... I wish I would have thought to have the three of us in a photo. I grabbed Jennifer right before she left for home to take these for me.

One of the squares of pure green made into a pillow at my sister's request. The stamp pillow is for the father of one of my daughter's friends. On my trip to see Jessica I was carrying this purse. He collects stamps and told me that all the stamps depicted on the fabric  are actual stamps, some of which he has. Can't think of a better person to share fun fabric with.

Blocks of Pure Green

I love traditional blocks. A few nights ago I decided to make a few eight inch blocks. Practice never hurts. Not wanting to do the math, I looked up a few free patterns. Other people can't to math very well either, so these are not all the same size. I'm not sure I'll ever do anything with them, but that wasn't the point. It was just the process.

My sweet cat is still not feeling well. I'm just not sure if she is going to make it out of this. You Know Who tries to tempt her with toys. I think she appreciates the effort but she just has no energy. I looked over last night and this is what I saw.

Just makes me so sad.

Flannel Shirts

I made these for my youngest at his request. I have one more left to make. I used to make You Know Who's shirts all the time and forgot that it is something I enjoy. I had to trudge through a foot of snow to the park next to our apartment building searching for an open enough area with some light.... we've had a bit of snow the last few days.

Hope he likes them.

Thanks Jennifer for braving the snow with me.

The pattern is easily put together and very comfortable to wear.

Amigurumi......a labor of love.

Note to self: Do not start another teeny animal right after a long day at work. Oh, and find out HOW to pronounce that word.

See, his head ended up a bit small.... tension... it gets you every time.
