My office is less than glamorous, but I'm grateful to have a a quiet space to do my work thing. One issue: I never know where to put my coat in my office, so I fixed that!

My mother brought me some wool from Iceland in nice heather colors.  I  found a pattern in a book called Knitting for Baby.  They don't take long to knit, but the other parts: seaming, felting, stuffing, finishing... that takes me forever.  Finally finished knitting and seaming them all up today!

Day 13: Finish Knitting & Share

I turned this pattern for Totoro's little friend into a finger puppet and finally posted it to Ravelry as a finished project.  I love this guy.  I'll have to make a Totoro one day to go along with him.  If you haven't seen My Neighbor Totoro, you should go do that right now!

Day 12: Stuff the Toys!

2/12/2014

I've been looking for simple baby toys to make. I saw some cute play cubes on Pinterest and sewed up a few following a tutorial, but I never finished them.  The last part was to stuff them and sew up the last seam, so today was the day. It's a great feeling to finish projects.  Done!

Day 11: Dress

2/11/2014

One of my favorite little black dresses busted at the seams from the last time I wore it.  This fix was going to be tricky because of the top stitch finish.  I ended up keeping the top stitch and just going under it to mend the open seam.  I'm particularly pleased with this project.  I did all of the work on the inside and when I turned it right-side-out to check how it looked, I couldn't find the place that I just fixed!  Perfection!

Day 10: Sweater Hole

2/10/2014

My dear husband HATES labels in his clothes.  He rips tags; I follow with warnings that he's going to rip holes. When he tore out the label of his light blue sweater and heard the tell-tale sound of a massive hole, I responded with something that starts with "I told you" and ends with "so"; but, today I fixed it gladly.  TAH-DAH!

Day 7 & 8: The Land of Lost Socks

2/8/2014

0 Comments

 
I have a bin for lonely lost socks that I have been meaning to organize for ages.  In order to reunite lost socks with their mates that meant I had to do all the laundry, and that meant it was going to be a two day project.  This became a much more involved fix-it project than I expected; however, in the end, I paired lots of socks and fixed the lost sock problem.  I can now declare some of these lonely socks officially single and let them go.  YAY!

Day 6: Making a Mess

2/6/2014

0 Comments

 
Everything I tried to fix today, ended up being more of a mess.  This was a horrible, terrible , no good, very bad, fix it day of February.  Asa result, all I fixed was the contact page.  I did fix a very nice breakfast for myself, but that doesn't really count.  Ah well, tomorrow is a new day of attempts to mend and make something better.
