I like to show pics of new supplies…new exciting exotic supplies. But these things I picked up this weekend are a very accurate representation of what’s going on around here so what the heck…
Bland pancake. Absolutely nothing is new. Same cold snowy weather, same stuck in the house with a toddler suffering, same no house for us anywhere story, same old.
I am doing some paper piecing. A slow pokey project for a slow pokey life.
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
Ahh, in not too long you’ll be wishing for the slow pokey-ness of now so enjoy it while you can. Plus, who doesn’t like pancakes?
I went through the same ‘bored’ and strenuous feeling of looking for a new house last year and did find one in the end.. and so will you, hang in there! paper piecing is surely a good way to unwind and release any tension…
Glad it’s not just me feeling like this đŸ™‚ anyway, Spring is just around the corner!!!
Mmmmmmm, pancakes……
slow & pokey, eh? đŸ™‚
Hmmm…very vanilla!
Bored maybe; boring never.
I never ever thought you could ever feel bored!
pfff that is good to know!If I get to feel like that I won’t feel so guilty about it!lol!

Spring is just around the corner and so is a new baby! Enjoy the slowness while you can!
well-I am diggin’ the hexs, anyway. I have some going too and was all excited-and then got burnt. I need to jump back on. . .
i hope it gets better soon, and you are not boring at all.
I’m with you sister. Ugh, what is it about this winter.
Ah yes, the fun and excitement of paper-piecing. I know it all too well. At least you get that sense of satisfaction when you look down and realize you’ve pieced about 50 hexagons in one sitting and you’re well on your way to your goal. Woohoo!
oh my word, you are speaking my mind…this weekend drove me spinny. there was just something about it that made me all anxious.
at least you got out of the house!
if you ever have a weekend like that, give me a holler. i need to shake some things up around here or i will be climbing the walls (my kids actually told me today that they can’t wait to find me climbing them one of these days…ha, funny them.)
You spent your weekend with the wrong kind of Caron. I had lots of fun. Look me up next time .
Looks quiet and soothing to me.
Heck, teach Oscar how to paper-piece!
Darling, that is one of the cutest posts I have ever read. If I were near you I would just have to hug you and then tell you off for being so cute!! đŸ˜‰

What color is your Caron yarn? I started my very first crochet project just a week before my daughter was born and now she is a month old and I cannot find a matching yarn to save my life. My mistake was picking the yarn up at the Goodwill and thinking I had enough but not accounting for the fact that it was a partially used pound. SO, now I have two and a half rows missing and I cannot find a matching color. I thought, for sure, the label read antique white (before I threw is away – mistake number two) but that color isn’t even made any more if it is. The color doesn’t make off white or white so I am at a loss. I am going to have to just use a different yarn which drives the perfectionist in me CRAZY! So, out of curiosity, I must know – what color are you using on your project??
