Project 1, 2, 3 and 187 items.

-

Already I am a little behind on my
Project 365.
Four days to be exact but who is counting other than me.
Shelby's poncho.
 
I know it looks a little weird.  
It is sort of asymmetrical,
but it looks cool on.

 
At the risk of oversharing and mostly
because some of you people might
think I have it all together.
(Only the ones who truly don't know me)
This was the dumping of my sock drawer.
 
Honestly,
I like the after picture so much better,
why can't I keep it that way?

A chair headed to the shop...
wait,
can I count that as 188
and the poncho
as
189?
 
Of course,
my count, my rules!

 
Trying to make more of these.
 
I found them all cut and ready to be sewn.

If you can figure out how to keep a sock drawer neat let me know because mine never is.

I have one of your blue jean table runners that I had won in a giveaway that you had a couple years back. I still have it on a table in my living room. Love, Love, Love it. Still my favorite runner.

Are you related to my husband?? At least every six months, I have to go through his sock drawers (yes, plural...one for whites/sports socks, and one for darks/dress socks)....and I am not even going to tell you some of things found in them... (But, I bet you DO know how to CLOSE your sock drawer, right?) ;o) Anywho...HELLO my friend...I've missed the dickens outta you. Yes, I've been gone a good long while, and my apologies for that. I know there will be a large "catching up" curve, but I know it's so worth it. Hope you had a wonderful holiday...Wishing you a new year filled with miracles and magic.... Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
