But the pictures first... as promised, here is my first Alabama Chanin skirt! I only did one layer instead of the two I was supposed to...but for the sail boat reverse applique, I cut a little piece of contrasting fabric.
I apologize for the wrinkles in the skirt. Most of the time, unfortunately, that's how I roll. My husband came home shortly after I took these photos and had a very puzzled expression on his face.
"Why are you wearing a skirt over your pants?"
"Because I had to take pictures of it on me."
"Oh."
;)
The slow cloth piece I worked on during vacation. Still not quite finished, but I think I might just leave it be.

My first english paper piecing experience! And after some time away from them, I already have several projects lined up in my head incorporating more hexagons!
And the mess that was formerly the craft room/office (affectionately known to J and I as the crawffice). With the new internet came the need to pull the bookshelf out, so everything on it got put anywhere there was room in here...
And in here. I'm happy to report that I went through all of it, got rid of a lot of it, and the rest is back in order in the crawffice. It will all soon be a mess, however, because we are getting new carpet in our bedroom tomorrow, so all that furniture will be all over the house. ;)
Last, but not least, a baby hat made for a co-worker's new little one, Piper Jane! (Isn't that a sweet name?? I love it!) She is so adorable! The pattern came from a search on Tangled Happy and can be found
here at the Aesthetic Nest.
More soon! Happy Independence Day!
Blessings-
