Sew Dance

Multiple things in a week! Yay for ornaments. And got more stash... And added to my figurine collection... And visited Clyde on Memorial Day, but he kept running or turning away from the camera. Guess it was a bad fur day or something. Near the end you can hear his meow.

Do not adjust your screens, the page is one color, DMC 939. (Still haven't been able to find a cone of this color.) And I made a Christmas ornament that is part of my newly acquired stash. Took me about an hour. And new stash. I need to go through my patterns and find no backgrounds to match with them. I know I have the planet dragons... Time to stitch some Christmas ornaments...

So, as I said, my HAED challenge piece has a very uninteresting first page (or two, three, seven...) However it did get cool for a few days so I did some crochet. Started this one. And restarted this one. Still can't get gauge, but I don't care. Maybe it'll stretch out with weight/rounds. Some new stash I mentioned. This was a mystery pack of an alpaca/silk blend from Expression Fiber Arts. I like the colors. Also came in the cute (matching) owl envelope behind it. And new fabrics. No clue what I'm putting on them. Maybe the MAP mystery from Ink Circles on the top right? More stash in the mail.

Baby blanket complete. A little wavy, not sure it's my tension or the pattern, possibly a combination of both. It's getting warmer here, to the point where I don't want to have blankets draping on my legs, even with AC. I started participating in the latest HAED challenge with a new start on Secret Carousel MC. Would post, but it's 18 lines of the same color. In fact the first two pages are all one color, so picture a small rectangle of DMC 939.

On the final parts for this CAL I did finish the top as directed, but as you can see, it's a little short on me. I'm not surprised. Now to figure out the best way to lengthen without completely screwing up the pattern. Also may have to widen it a bit so it doesn't bunch up around my hips... (I hate selfies)  And here's Clyde exploring a box.
