Long Overdue Halloween

I had a great time this year making Halloween costumes for Hamilton, Dane, and myself. I love homemade costumes!! Batman, Robin, and Cookie Monster are my doing, and the cookie is Amanda's handiwork- great job!

Snow in Doylestown

someone has cold hands today!

always quite tempting to run through a huge patch of untouched snow, this one was too deep for me
jump
icicles
obligatory county theater shot

lovely peaceful snowday in doylestown, though i was under the impression it would be snowing all day... lies! ham and i went for a nice freezing walk, and thankfully i did not have to go into work! considering myself extremely lucky today to live in so beautiful a town!

Sewing for Home

A lovely little project from Anna Maria Horner's "Seams to Me", handy for my bedroom!

I have had the fabric with the lovely girls on it for so long and never could find a suitable use, but this was absolutely perfect!

sweet cuppin cakes

Baking cupcakes with an old friend- perfect Sunday night! Check out these cute minis we made for an event at the bookshop today, complete with halloween purple and orange icing and ghosty sprinkles! We used the snickerdoodle recipe from martha stewart's cupcake book. Delicioso!

making books

I signed out a copy of Eco Books by Terry Taylor and have been messing around learning about bookbinding and such. This is a little book I made to test out the techniques from a bud light lime case and some legal and graph paper. Very happy with the results, and looking forward to learning lots more complicated techniques! Highly recommend this book, stay tuned for more.

Second Sweater for Knit Class

Here are some photos of the second sweater I made for my knitting class last semester. The top bit is knit on the machine with a mock drop stitch and the circles are all hand crocheted and assembled. Hope you like!

I've just finished this sweater for my knitting class this semester. I am so very proud!

The yarn I used is actually many different colors of donated yarn held together to make a crazy marled effect, and only one extra red yarn is added for the ribbing compared to the main body of the sweater. It was knitted on a hand operated Passap machine and then assembled by hand. Hopefully it will be accepted into the fashion show, if so more pictures will follow in a month or two!
