Unfinished business, purses, and DOLLIES!
Elegant Buttercup Bag
So…Ravelympics came and went, and I’m still only about 45% done with my Geodesic Cardigan. I was pretty broken up about not meeting the deadline for about 15 minutes, and then promptly got over it. And that’s totally ok! I had been making pretty good time (and realised I’ve gotten to the point where I can knit really fast!), but there was just too much Other going on in my life, not to mention my creative funk that hit me about two weeks ago.
Violets Are... Buttercup Bag
You know, I really should be prepared for these spells when they hit me, but each time they do, I totally forget that I can kill all the blah by just getting up and sewing or knitting something different. It’s as irrational as writers block can be (which I often suffer from, lemme tell ya!). In the end, I got my butt out of bed and made a Buttercup Bag out of some brown and white scrolled fabric. It went together so easy and so fast that I did another right after it. They’re really precious, use up a small amount of fabric, and go together super-fast (about 1-2 hours sewing time, and that includes all the pressing and pinning I did). I’m going to totally buy a licence to sell these.
I spy...
I mentioned in my last post that my honey set up his own wordpress to promote his art dolls at Black Toy Box. Today I got to go out with one of his dolls and shoot some photos for his site, and then updated his site for him with the pictures and purchase info. It’s a pretty sweet deal for any fans of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series. She’s $50 and can be purchased at this page.
