knitting

I started working on the purl soho rabbits for the girls easter baskets. I cut the material for the rabbits and began to knit one of the sweaters. It is going to take a bit of time since I am only working on them at night while they are asleep, but I think I'll get everything done.

summer dressing

I just finished this summer dress for the girls. I found the pattern online, but I am not really happy with the way that it turned out. I found the directions a bit difficult to follow. From the outside the dress looks fine, but the inside is a bit sloppy. I like to have the underside look just as finished as the outside. So, I have decided to make a new one and revise the pattern to something that I am happy with.

easter

I spotted this great bunny on the purl bee. I thought it would be great to make them along with a few of the outfits to put in the kids easter baskets.

scraps

I have a huge stash of fabric scraps. I have been waiting for the perfect project and found it several months ago on the Spool blog.

I love the little birds that they made using scraps of fabric (you can download a free pdf pattern on the blog). I thought it would be great to make tons of them and hang them from the ceiling in the girls room.

I am still hoping to get to the shop. I seem to be the city when it is closed, but I am going in tomorrow, so perhaps I can get there, we'll see.
