Stitching Again
Lucien has been napping for almost two hours this morning. Despite waking up with him at 5:30 this morning (in addition to being up a little at 1:30am listening to him fuss through the baby monitor), I decide not to take a nap myself. Instead, I've finally made some decent progress on one of my many stitchig projects.
This particular project is a tiny English garden, which will eventually be framed inside a window shaped frame. I bought the pattern and frame years ago, and actually began the stitching about three years ago. It should be pretty cute when it's finished. I'm just glad to be making visible progress on the darn thing.
Once Lucien wakes up I'll be able to break out the sewing machine to put the final touches on a gift for mcsassypants (mcsassy: remember that Facebook '5 Things' you responded to months ago? Well, I've almost finished it). I wish there was a place in the house where I could have my sewing machine set up permanently. I have a feeling I would sew a lot more if I didn't have to set up and break down my sewing set-up before and after each session.
In addition to making random gifts and upcoming holiday gifts for people, I've got some fancy plans for stuff to put up on an etsy shop. It seems that everyday I have a new idea. I've started writing all my plans down in a little notebook so I don't forget about any of them. If I actually get going on these plans, I should work through my stockpile of fabric very quickly. This means I'll get to go shopping for MORE fabric!
