I still go to work onsite each day. I have very little contact with my co-workers and no contact with clients. I am working my regular schedule which gives me 2x15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch free to work on mobile projects. Even then, I don't always use breaks in this fashion. This… Continue reading Workbasket – Not working from home

Lavender Layette
Although I don't mention it very often, I do other things than crafting. This last weekend was second weekend of season for teaching motorcycle safety. Upon arriving at the range, ice was observed, directly in the path of travel. Not good. In consulting with the lead instructor and On-call, a delay in riding time was… Continue reading Lavender Layette

Besides last week knitting night (where I was knitting one row and tinking out 2-3 for the whole two hours), I haven't had any large blocks of time to work on… Continue reading Workbasket – Pleasantly surprising progress
Workbasket – WIP’s, UFO’s & PHD’s
Recently I have been able to post finished projects. This is not a true reflection of my reality. In the real world, my workbasket is full of WIP's (works in progress), UFO's (unfinished objects) and PHD's (projects half done). If they aren't in the workbasket, then they are hidden in the sewing room, allowing for… Continue reading Workbasket – WIP’s, UFO’s & PHD’s
Workbasket – Flannel NightGown
For this project I used a modern commercial tissue pattern. After cutting out all the pieces, I set to transferring the pattern markings onto the fabric. This is the first time I have tried to use tailor tacks. I had varying degrees of success. For these tucks, not so much. I ended up using blue… Continue reading Workbasket – Flannel NightGown
