Things are happening behind the scenes here in my studio. Sometimes it is stuff I can't talk about while I am working on it, sometimes it is stuff that has taken me forever and a day to actually finish (so embarrassed) and then there are those ongoing projects that I just wish I could snap my fingers and be done with them.
I recently wrote a fun tutorial for Craft on how to refashion old or ill fitting tee shirts, into this tank top:
The tutorial went up onto their site today, so check it out when you have a chance. It is a pretty quick project, some basic sewing and crochet skills are necessary.
Remember this post from way back in October, about starting the Stitch Diva's Hourglass Jacket? Well, it is finally finished! Geez, took me long enough. I love it. I did need to rejigger a few things, but I am happy with the end result.
Oops, I just realized I forgot to button one button, before taking the picture. Typical.
Another, sort of ongoing thing I have been working on has been reorganizing the studio. It has been a challenge, since I also still need to work here, but it is coming along! I hope to post some before and after shots soon. I know I always like to see where people create, especially when they have small work spaces. My studio is not huge, it is only 9' 6" x 8' 6" and I have a lot of crafting crapola. Don't get me wrong... I know I am lucky to have a room devoted to just me and my work, but I still can't fit all of it in here. I have been able to bring more of my stash out from the basement, which has triggered some new ideas. My next project for the studio is to make fabric valances (is that what they are called), to hide my rolling window shades when they are up. I will keep you posted.
We love your blog and are featuring it -- and that adorable tank top -- on StyleSubstanceSoul.com as part of our Do It Yourself theme at http://stylesubstancesoul.com/themes/DIY/craftzine.html. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent.
