Oh projects - how I love you!

Okay - these have been consuming me the last 2 weeks. Sigh - I'm in love with sewing right now.
The projects are as follows;

I just started quilting. I've tried sewing off and on - but have developed a new found patience for it. I have an awesome sewing machine that Daniel bought me while we were dating [when I decided to take up sewing the first time]. I'm so happy it's finally being put to good use!

So far on these two I just have the squares done. I still need to find a border and backing - then buy interfacing.
I've put those ones aside for now - cause I'm doing this yellow [below] one as a gift. Almost done!

Here's the project I was working on last week. It's not a secret anymore - cause I feel like blogging about it :)
Stockings! I attempted to make Daniel one last year out of a kit - no good!
I designed these ones myself, made my own pattern and did everything [minus the names - thanks mom!] myself. Lol I was so proud! First project I actually took time and finished XD
They are sequintastic!

My mom made all us kids stockings when we were born. They were the felt and sequin ones. I loved them! They always seemed so special - so I want to start that for mine and Dan's future [and now] family.
I'm currently working on a Sugar Plum Fairy one for my sister Candice. My mom started one for her when she was born - but never got around to finishing it. And can't find it. Guess that's what happens when you're the youngest. Sucks to be you Candice :P


K - I was inspired to make these bags. The first one was so fun - I decided to make more!!
Here's the "Sara" XD


The "Debby"


The "Cassie"


The "Candice"


And here's one of the draw string bags I made to [try] organize Dmitri's diaper bag.


Oh so fun! Lol but I think I need to find a new, new hobby. Sewing's expensive :}

Oh - and I decided to go back brown. I've done this before and hated it [weird that my natural color washes me out]. But anywhos - I'm enjoying this time! It's not as dark as I've done it before - and I left a blond stripe in the front.
Lol only a few moments have I looked in the mirror and seen Cassie staring back at me XD


Ok - have to put Dmitri in. I love my sweet precious boy! Poor guy scratched himself between the eyes the other night :(
