Spring/summer is here in my part of the world. Expecting 90 degrees today. I'd love it if it would stay in the 70's or 80's for a while, but, THIS IS TEXAS. So, I have been mowing, trimming, planting and on and on outside.
The bluebonnets are out. So, so pretty! and I have some Indian Paintbrush in my pasture. I do love them too!
This little gentleman had a birthday this month - a year old! How fast that year went! Here he is in my messy sewing room wanting me to play. He is a large part of the reason that even after the yard work is done, I get very little sewing done!
Sometimes, he will finally settle into his bed in the same sewing room, and let me get an hour or so at the machines.
So, while not much actual sewing, I continue to add to the stash. I ordered one of Emma One Sock's bundles in the navy family. I am happy with just about every piece!
And I get so inspired watching Peggy Sagers' free webcasts and short Thursday videos. I tend to want to make one of "everything" she shows, but being retired, I don't need to do that! HOWEVER, I did order three pieces of her fabric. I think two of the three I ordered are already sold out. All those pieces are lovely cottons which are great for summers here. Sorry, I haven't taken photos of them yet.
I am working on (in my short stints of sewing that Trooper will allow) this Style Arc pattern in a lovely navy/red rayon challis from the stash. I have no clue where I got it.
He gets the award for the best looking dog on a sewing blog! He looks like a lot of fun and mischief. I didn't know EOS had bundles, but then do I need more fabric .... Looking forward to what you come up with. Happy spring Linda!
ReplyDeleteThe SA pattern keeps speaking to me as well - but I just know my elbows would be worming their way out constantly! Trooper is so cute, what a nice sewing buddy. I used to be in Dallas-Ft Worth a lot (was a regional tech project mgr for American Airlines) and always loved the spring bloom.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to the sweet puppy! He looks like he had a grand time. Love your fabrics, and nothing adding to the stash! Looking forward to seeing your dress. What part of Texas do you reside? I'm near Houston
ReplyDeleteWe are SE of Dallas in Kaufman County :)
DeleteI also want to make everything Peggy shows in her videos. I have to remind myself that sewing and selling patterns is her business. Lovely fabrics from EOS.
ReplyDeleteAfter years of making excuses for my pups("
ReplyDeleteOh, their little lives are so short, they should just be happy"), my husband has finally conceded. It all goes far too fast, so enjoy every minute you can 😊
I really like this pattern. I'm with you on the cold shoulder thing, just a hint of the arm is so much more attractive. The pattern would also work well as a top.
