I'm fixin' to jump back into sewing mode, having been sidetracked by hurricane Katrina and resulting moral questions regarding self-responsibility (I'm a take care of me and mine, teach-a-man-to-fish, Free Republic kinda gal myself), and the imminent birth of our grandson.
I also started a new hobby: Beading. So far I've made 2 pairs of earrings and replaced the irritating lobster-claw clasp of a necklace with a handy-dandy magnetic one that won't make me late for work. Beading and jewelry work is portable and can be done in the living room when I want to be in there with dh instead of at my sewing table.
My faithful fitting double, Mrs. Dinky, has been patiently wearing my princess seam blouse fitting toile and soon I will take that project up again.
Unique has emailed me asking for some measurements so they can re-draft my pants pattern.
I've got a 15-yard bolt of blue cotton knit and a bunch 'o buttons on order from Trim Fabrics that will be turned into work shirts for dh.
I've got some black polyester with which I plan to make my Unique Jacket and a pair of pants, when Unique comes through with the re-draft.
Of course, it all comes to a (temporary) halt when dd goes into labor.
