Far Between

My recent posts haven't been. Starting a new job this fall has taken some of my creative efforts. My cousin Roxanne has been unavailable for our weekly sewing efforts, since she has been taking the tests to earn her doctorate. I'm very proud of her, but I hope she hurries up & gets done. I miss sewing with her, and that regular crafting time.

I have been more active with the Society for Creative Anachronism, and since I'm the current Arts and Sciences officer, I should share some of those activities here as well. For instance, I had the idea to make bunting to go around our area for the local Ren Fair (and to use at other SCA events as well). Here's how it turned out:
spiffy bunting!
I've been busy making bags and fabric baskets. Many of them are/will be gifts so I haven't felt like I could post them yet. I did, however, turn this                                  into this

tote for Roxanne


















I can post it, even though it's a gift because Roxanne isn't likely to come and look.

She and I did get a chance to sew for a little while over the long Thanksgiving weekend, though. We worked on some fabric baskets, which made both of us happy. a great gift, and a great holiday decoration!

'tis the season!
They can hold all kinds of things, like for instance, the basket on the right is holding pieces for some more baskets!

Crafting of other kinds has been worked on, too. I've got some crochet to show off soon, and I've even done some cross stitch, which I'd set aside for several years. Just, nothing has been consistent or something. I'm getting back into the swing of it, though, and will be sharing more, and more consistantly.
