Yes, it’s been awhile. Computers! Arg!
Anyhoo, I have pictures to share. Let’s start with the oldest.
Our tea with neighbors.
It was a lovely Blue Willow day.
Next are two of my dollar store finds! I need a bag for every project or they get lost. I found these in several “Bikini Bottom” prints and solids. Now, almost all summer projects have a bag!
I’ll insert a cool flower that bloomed. DD#1 received these flowers from the “best boyfriend in the world” before heading off to India. This one “artichoke” looking thing didn’t open until 2 weeks after she left. Very Star Trek looking.
Now for the Pot Sock I did. I have several cast iron pans and needed a hot pad for the handles. I made these and will post the pattern for it in a day or two. Very quick with double stranded kitchen cotton.
And lastly, I made a felted wine bag. What a fun project. I think I’ll sell these around town. I used Patons SWS yarn which is wool and soy. One ball.
Here it is before felting.
And after the washing machine magic!
I loved the stripes! I blocked it with a 1-liter soda bottle. Boy, felt is fun!
Ok, that’s it for now. I have more tea menus to post as well as some knit patterns. I’ll get to work on those now!
Cheers!
