Reoccurring theme? I chalk it up to getting burned out after nearly a semester of school and work, but I know that is just an excuse. Anyway, the reoccurring theme being that I have books to read, homework to do, research to find, and 3 papers to write (I won't go into it again) and what do I do?
That's right. I made a grocery/tote bag. Did I mention what a pain in the ass these things are to make? Ironing plastic bags together as lining just takes FOREVER. Why do I make so many you ask? They are just so handy. Well, this is a Christmas present for my mom (who likes bunnies, obviously) so I kept away from writing anything terribly political/controversial on it (unlike my 'I'm mmmmelting' sad world/globe). And I took Lady Jane's suggestion to just put the back of the bunny on it. All cut felt, machine appliquéd, blah blah. I added some pink to the back side of the ears after I took the closeup, but you get the idea. One present down, a gazillion more to go. Just one a cute little apron 'how to' from the 40's on ebay. Sweet :) *recites mantra: Itisagift.Itisagift.Cannotkeep.Cannotkeep.*
You'll be happy to hear I did get that jacket done that I was working on last (a while ago). I really need to take pictures of some of the projects that I've finished, I have tons of them that I never posted.
I did other things, started some other projects, went shopping to buy more patterns and fabric for things I won't get around to, you know, the usual. Friday-Monday I swear I'm locking myself in Starbucks and writing essays.
Happy Thanksgiving USians.
