cowl

yesterday i finished this cowl. it was really easy to crochet, and went fast using a bigger hook. it's big enought to pull up for a hood, and very cozy. which i like. i modified a pattern i got from

here.

next on my list: slippers

tights

i like all of this.

back from vacation

well, i'm back from visiting my family in minnesota.. i had all these plans to do crafty things and sew the whole time, but i ended up mostly just reading instead. and i think i needed the rest from being out on tour,it felt very good. but i did get a few sewing patterns from my mom so i can keep learning after we get home at the end of the month.

today we're in mississippi on a day off, so i got out my crochet and made some little hair bows that i've been meaning to try for awhile.

and now i am going to go eat some burgers.

skirt: made by me

this skirt was my first sewing project. i had a few troubles with my sewing machine, but it turned out, and now i am very much looking forward to sewing more when we get back to georgia. we left for a two month tour on friday, so that won't be for a while.. but i brought some crochet and cross stitch to keep busy, and i'll be visiting my family in minnesota for a few weeks in september. my mom is a great seamstress so i'm excited to get some help from her.

mad muffins

today i made blueberry muffins, last night i was trying to think of what to do with all these blueberries i had and started thinking about muffins and couldn't stop.

i also had a sewing party with my friend vanessa, and we worked part of our way through the 2nd season of mad men, which of course inspires us to sew even more.
