as well as our lil puppy. She's about three months now and called tigger. oh, yeah, if you are wondering. we have no clue what she is. Some kind of mix. By looking at her you can definitely see some lab but that's about all I can tell for sure...

car and puppy
So, I thought it was time to present... our new car
as well as our lil puppy. She's about three months now and called tigger. oh, yeah, if you are wondering. we have no clue what she is. Some kind of mix. By looking at her you can definitely see some lab but that's about all I can tell for sure...

my first sewing of my own...
So, I finished two pillow cases. Well, almost finished them, I still have to sew the buttons on... This is how it looks like:
the buttons are going on the inside, so when Susan sleeps on the wrong side of the pillow, she won't directly sleep on the buttons but have some fabric between her and the button.
and this is how it looks from the front:
I also finished another pair of socks today and I'm a bit upset. I started the second sock exactly at the same point of colour as the first but for some reason, it didn't come out the same and now the one sock has more orange at the toes than the other one... But I'll live...

it's a first
we just moved in our new house (with still a few bibs and bobs to get from our old place), fall is starting, winter coming soon and little kids grow fast. So you can imagine, there is a lot to do. From curtains (mainly finished...), to pillow cases and clothes.
I've just gotten my first own sewing machine, before I'd only worked with my mom. So I'm rather proud that I managed to finish curtains and a pillow case without her immediate help (though I had to call her a couple of times and ask for advice).
Once I'm done with the last two pillows (pictures to follow), I'll give clothes a shot.
Knitting is another of my hobbies, I'm just finishing up a pair of socks for myself, after that I wanna make some house shoes for Susan and then I still have to finish that sweater for a friend...
With me working full-time and a 2-year-old in the house, there is not a lot of time but knitting comes in handy on the train (I'm commuting) and sewing is just nice for the evening hours.
Plus, I got a week of leave ahead...
Let's see how long I'll last on this blogging thing...
