Not dead -- yet!

My brother called a couple of weeks ago, worried that I might be dead. Apparently my niece mentioned that I hadn't posted anything in ages, and she was a little concerned.

 

Contrary to opinion, I am alive!

What's been going on???

I've been sewing like a madman, and blogging about it has fallen to the bottom of my "to do" list. I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and will share my exploits soon.

 

In the meantime, here's a sample of what's gone down in my world.

 

 

 

 

Because the world needs more fur bags.

 

 

And speaking of fur....This arrived from Scotland.

 

 

 

To be augmented with some kilt bling.

 

 

Pewter buttons arrived from a small business in Ohio.

 

 

 

I plowed through some "quasi couture" construction. Mon dieu!

 

 

 

I've done lots of pad stitching and basting.

 

 

 

Even more pad stitching and basting!

 

 

 

Weeks of tailoring and fittings via FaceTime. Seriously!

 

 

Topped off by kilt #2.

 

Oh, and Agnes has come home to live in my driveway, refusing to get her feet wet!

 

 

 

 

 

I'm a little burned out and at the same time greatful for a life that years ago I never would have imagined. More about all these projects will be forthcoming at some point. Until then be well, and happy sewing.
