WiP Wednesday: I See How Its Gonna Be Edition

And by that I mean that I can see that progress is going to be slow if non-exsistent on a lot of these.  Pastille is stalled because I still haven't gotten more muslin, The Sophia Cowl is stalled because I started something new that has a deadline, Scrap Vomit is still stalled because of the glue.  The rest is stalled for what seem like perfectly legitimate reasons though I'm sure that they aren't anything more than weak excuses.  I'm just not making the time like I should be.  I will work on that.

What's worse is that this blog post as been in the works for weeks now!  WEEKS!  

Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (New!)
Check out the slow but sure progress on this project here!  Virtual Craft Night is a life saver on this.  I get so much done that I don't think I would if not for this dedicated sewing time with my girls!

Beard Hats (New!) (Complete!)
My friend is throwing  threw her husband a lumberjack themed birthday party.  Jinx had even started growing out a beard just for the occasion   Alas, we gals aren't so facially inclined so I HAD to make us a beard to wear for the party!  I found this pattern on Ravelry and got to business.  Knitting down to the wire, I got them done!



Even better is how the cats conspired with the dogs to destroy the nice (ahem, expensive) knitting needles that I'd gotten to make these hats with.

Owly Images
At least they waited until I was done with the hats.  Assholes.

Sew the Perfect Fit Craftsy Class (New!)
I was offered a GREAT deal on this class and just had to try it out!  I am only in the watch-the-videos-and-learn phase but already feel more equipped to tackle the fitting on my Pastille as well as any other dress or blouse that comes along.  Claudia is going to be an invaluable partner in this endeavor.  I am waiting to get my pattern for the class, but as soon as it gets here (and I get more fabric), I will be making a muslin.

  2. Firstly, I am in love with the beard hat. How did I now know you were making these? Second, now I know why you were so upset the other day. I hate when my cat ruins perfectly good notions... tho she just usually eats my bobbins. I can't wait to see all the progress you make at this week's #VCN. I know you can do it.
