Past Projects ~ Clothes Remember when I posted about finding the Spring-Summer 1970 McCall's Needlework & Crafts magazine? I had shared the outfit that inspired me to snatch up the magazine and the pink dress that LoriB had chosen to be made...first. There was so much more that I still want to share with you.… Continue reading Throwback Thursday ~ McCall’s 1970 ~ Past Projects

Crochet Pink Dress: So much more progress since last time! The back, front, and both sleeves are complete! They are folded neatly and awaiting being sewn together. Meanwhile, onto the decoration! The decoration consists of 22 pink and blue crocheted flowers. Once I completed a couple of "practice" rings, I felt good about how they… Continue reading Workbasket ~

Crochet Pink Dress: The work on the pink dress continues. I am really just starting my crochet journey. So far, it hasn't been much different than my knitting projects in that I have to start, re-start, & re-start again before making any real progress. For this project I am working in cotton. It has little… Continue reading Workbasket ~ Foxy

Dolly Dearest 9 inches I really don't have large blocks of time that I can devote to working on this project. That shows in the length of time that it has taken to make the progress that I have since starting this project.

Bees Dress #1 On July 11, 2022 I saw the pattern "Bees in the Thistles Dress" by Bridget Pupillo for Knit Picks. It was WAY-TO-CUTE! I HAD to have it!! I ordered it that very day.

Workbasket – W.I.P.s
This week's works in progress Just over a month ago I shared updated progress on many of these projects. Some of these projects have wonderful forward progress and some are frustratingly stalled or in backward motion, this being a side "benefit" of new and improved knowledge, especially if the project isn't completely finished. Although I… Continue reading Workbasket – W.I.P.s

Projects I have worked on Bees in the Thistles This dress pattern was designed by Brigit Pupillo and I purchased it through Knit Picks. This was for my granddaughter's first birthday. The dress was so cute that I got enough yarn to make 2 more for my co-worker's daughters. I am currently working on Bee's… Continue reading Workbasket
Workbasket – Like a Duck or an Iceberg…
Doesn't look like much on the surface, but there is still lots going on out-of-sight. That has been me the last couple of months (OK, not so much when it comes to running. Health issues and cold weather). This is a quick look at things I've been doing or finished. A little more detail will… Continue reading Workbasket – Like a Duck or an Iceberg…
