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

This was within a year of my learning to knit, and that project was never… Continue reading Workbasket – Pink Gloves
Workbasket – very little has gotten done this week
These are two different angles of the same thing. This is my brand new rolled hem foot. I practiced on a piece of the wedding dress that had already been cut off before starting on the actual dress. I had been attempting to do this by hand and... IT WAS TAKING FOREVER. This presser foot… Continue reading Workbasket – very little has gotten done this week
Workbasket – Pleasantly surprising progress
It is always a surprise at how much can get done when it is done in little snatches of available time here and there. 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
