I've got two scarves started - the pink one will probably be donated if it's not too hideous :)

The green one is about to start being mixed with the blue in the picture - and it's for me!

I can tell this will be a dangerous hobby - I've already started buying yarn ::shakes head::

I made a drawstring bag out of one of Mom's shirts.

I can sew! Not in a straight line most of the time, but still...

Which is good because I just bought 3 new pairs of pants that need hemming.

I've been enjoying my sewing class and thought I'd show you some of the things I've done so far...

Hobby Lobby was having a sale on patterns, so I went and got a few - and one set is for laptop bags, so I'm going to go get some fabric for my netbook :)

Me latest cross stitch be finished!





I have the "Why work when you can pillage and plunder chart" (with treasure chest charm) and am planning on getting the "Arrrrrhh! Another day, Another ship" chart (with cutlass charm). Possibly will get the "Yo HoHoHo" Pirate Santa (with map charm). Very cute and very quick to stitch.

did a vertical version too :)




I think I like the side by side version better. And luckily no one but me can see the errors in this one :) I somehow managed to reverse the x's in the top 8 rows of the full moon. (I started in the middle and went down, did the bottom crescent and then went back up to the top.) Didn't realize what I had done until I had started the top crescent and was *not* going to undo all that. Mostly you can't tell when looking at it either - it looks more like the tension in the stitches is tighter or something, but you have to really look at it to see that the x's are going the wrong way :)
