Flying Times~

...or time flies! :-)  No, I'm not flying anywhere... yet. But the hands on the ol' clock sure seem to be flying around it!

 I can finally show you one of my  kinda secret projects. I made it for a birthday and now I know it has been received. :-)



This is kati cupcake's sewing machine cover. I made the medium size. It has pockets on the front and I liked it so much I actually used it on my machine for a few days! :-o (don't tell my friend!)  I was very tempted not to mail it off, but I did.  ;-) Now I need to make one for my machine~ it looks so lonely now without a cover! LOL

I've been working on the Fusion Blanket Crochet Along in the evenings. I said I wasn't going to start it until this fall... but.... :-/    First I cut out some vintage sheet squares.  Then I cut some flannel squares to put between the sheets because I thought they were rather thin feeling.  sigh Then  I thought... maybe I should crochet around one to see how it works. Then I did another, and another.... oh! I am weak!! :-o

After I had a few crocheted around, I thought.... I wonder how they will look together.....






I really couldn't help myself!!! :-o  Now I really have set it aside~ until I can get more squares prepped! :-) LOL  This is the most addictive little project!

I hope you've been still following the Bowls with Borders Blog hop. Today is day 11~ and there are more cute bowls out there!

August 23rd
Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!

ooh, love your little fusion squares! I want to try some, but I don't know how to make holes in the fabric to crochet in. Is there a tut somewhere?

That sewing machine cover is awesome! I just have my old Bernina cover :-( One of these days I will get around to making some things just for me :-)

I'm thinkin' the cover is very, very cool!! I've got two machines one that is always on and another that just kinda sits ad used for a few special projects. Love to have a cover for that one, sounds like a new project. lol!!

Cute litte squares you've got going on!

I really like the machine cover!!! Great job.

I gave up on my fusion blanket because I thought it too flimsy. I should have thought about the flannel.

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
