Metamorphosis

Remember this?

Well, things are beginning to take shape. The past couple of weeks have been busy on several fronts:
  • Gardening (between thunderstorms)
  • Working on the consulting project
  • Entertaining and enjoying company
  • Training for the upcoming half-marathon in Seattle
  • Reading a couple of fun, summer-style books: The Girls from Ames, A Salty Piece of Land
  • Sewing. Lots of it. Between some custom orders and other items, it's been fun to play with fabric and exercise some basic math skills in the design process. Here are a few finished products:
File tote for a mobile office

Laptop sleeve

Cord and charger case for a road warrior

What hasn't been happening? Knitting. Must fix that. But right now, I have three more handbags to complete this week.

  1. These are awesome designs and functionable accessories everyone must have. Terrific sewing and beautiful fabric collection. I am full of envies...wish I can get to my sewing uninterrupted, like I'd with my knitting!

    By the way, we all miss your great presence at KnitUp. Hope to see you soon.

  3. These are wonderful! What a talent! I always find that my knitting urge drops off in summer. Come a cool fall day, it comes roaring back. I miss you - can you pick a day for an after-work drink and visit?
