So as I work on a really big knitting project, one of those I wish I could tell you about it but I can't sort of projects, there are all sorts of fabulous things piling up around me just waiting for a little free time.
~ I picked up a copy of Sewing For Boys. I figure between that and the Growing Up Sew Liberated book Bubba will be one well dressed dude this fall/winter.
~ I still need to finish 2 Ice Cream dresses I'm smocking. I suppose at this point that by the time they're done Tater will be wearing them with leggings and a sweater.
~ And speaking of O&S my copy of the new Oliver and S pattern After School Shirt and Pants arrived in the mail. I'd like to make Tater some outfits and I'm planning to deconstruct the shirt, which has a yoke feature, to see if I can add some smocking detail to it.
~ With the sewing list growing by leaps and bounds I'm planning to jump on board for KCWC. This big project should be outta here by then so it will sort of be a reward to chill out and get some sewing done.
~ We've settled in to a pretty nice schooling routine. My biggest challenge this year is Bubba. He's at that clingy, grabby, chewing on everything, and ripping paper stage which makes things sort of interesting. We're using a cyber charter school this year and finding it rather nice. One of these days I'll post more about our experience so far.
~ In case you haven't realized it already... fall is here. Need proof? Martha has wee vampire pumpkins. There ya go.
