UFPP update

Okie—time for a reality check. 

I have been working on projects—making good headway.  However I am not devoting myself solely to one project at a time.  It just doesn’t work!

I tried knitting for 8 hours straight—wow did my hand hurt!  Those little size 1 needles will kill ya.

Plus—I am a distracted crafter, I will admit it.  I probably should’ve been labeled w/an acronym years ago, but we will pretend that I’m perfectly focused and organized.  So…wanna see what I have been working on?

Little Miss Crafty has been into her dolls lately—and perusing a certain catalog like it was a holy grail or something.  So…what is a mom to do but get to work and make some clothes.  This outfit was fun because I used on of her old shirts that didn’t fit anymore.  The long sleeves became pants, the body of the shirt became an A-Line dress.  I trimmed it with a few strips of gathered fabric—super easy.  It has velcro in the back for getting on and off. 

*I had to put the bit about velcro in b/c my sister still thinks I sew things ONTO dolls—where you have to be cut out of them.

I have several items cut out, ready to be sewn up, as well as some little knitted projects in the works.  As a result Little Miss Crafty has been banned from my workroom.  She might see something.
