Wish me luck ...


Wish me luck - I am trying to sew the EASY snowflake table runner again. 
After sewing the side fabric on the main fabric - at least three sides are finished - it is still looking good. 

I feel so stupid ...

Today I was going to finish the bracelet I began with yesterday.
I didn't know how many beads I would need so I put ten on the string - thinking that I could remove those that are unnecessary. 

Take a close look at the photo. Do you see why it isn't possible? I do!

FNSI - Friday Night Sew In

Sigh - I was going to join the FNSI today. Everything was ready. I had bought beautiful wintry fabric, found a very easy pattern for a table runner with appliqued snowflakes - and it went wrong. 
My rotary cutter isn't as sharp at it should be so it made a mess out of the fabric. I had actually sewn the "side panels" on the center fabric when I realized how wrong and twisted it was so I threw it away. I tried to save it but it just didn't turn out good. 
So task for tomorrow - buy a new rotary cutter. 
Instead of sewing I am making a bracelet called shamballa-bracelet.

Julklappar på G

I lördags åkte jag till Hölö kyrkskola och det gjorde att jag hamnade på samma ställe i går kväll. Båda två besöken resulterade i julklappar - lördagens inköpta konstverk till min mamma och gårdagens egengjorda till en av mina döttrar. 

Det som syns på bilden är tre saker för inuti asken finns någonting. 

Varje måndag träffas en grupp människor - konstigt nog bara kvinnor - för att återbruka. I går var vi 5-6 stycken som höll på med diverse projekt. Mig hade man lockat dit med dagens tema "knyta ihop ölflärpar till halsband, väskor eller ljusmanschetter" och ett smakprov av det jag gjorde syns på bilnden .
