Ironing Board Makeover

Before I get too busy with my internship, I wanted share with you a project I finished a few weeks ago.  

My very kind room-mate let me take over her ironing board with all of my sewing projects for the last 2 years.  After hours and hours of fusing interfacing to fabric, the resulting damage to the ironing board cover was... yuck.  

Sooooooo... I used The Stitchin' Chicken's ironing board cover tutorial which you can find here.  

It was super easy & came together very quickly!  

Catch-up

Wow, it has been a while.   So much has happened recently I don't know where to start!  

But we'll start here I guess.

I moved to San Diego.  Yesterday!  That's another story...but...it prompted some very fine people to celebrate with me before I left Fort Collins.  

The gals at Mama Said Sew were so sweet to throw me a wonderful dinner 

at what I thought was going to be a low-key crafty night.  

...the delicious cake Susan made!

....just a few of the crafty things I was gifted at the dinner.  An awesome beach bag the girls made, a great knitting bag my friend Tara of Tinkerfrog made, and a yard of Liberty of London fabric.  How lucky am I???

My long-time friends of Boomer Music also threw me a shin-dig, and my very talented friend Nicole made this awesome cake, complete with little gnome friends!  

Thanks friends, for the great send-off!  I will update soon with my adventures in San Diego!

Fishy Fishy! (part 2)

Looks like the cat likes it!  It went to a good home...

Fishy Fishy!

That's right.  It's done!  

The cat bed in the shape of a fish.  

Done.  

Finito.  

And let me tell you......never again!!!

Ok, it wasn't all bad.  

Turns out, it's the perfect size for your head.

Yarn Over

Ok...soooooo....this wasn't on the list.  

But plans change.  

I needed a project that was mindless...and portable.  My knitting project doesn't really fit that description at the moment, so I picked up some sale yarn & started crocheting these cute little hearts.  (find the free pattern here) 

Adorable....if I do say so myself.  

"What's it for?" roommate said....

"Stress relief."

And so it is. 

love.
