dancerjodiI spent time last night actually reading the manual for my sewing machine (while sitting in my kick butt rocking chair while brian sewed a muslin mock-up of a new Fett jumpsuit, given all of the weight he's lost . . . its looking really good!). You know, that kick butt, almost makes your coffee for you machine I've owned for years but haven't given much love to? I have to get some needles and I'll be ready to start my holiday dress (its a stretchy fabric, and I didn't want to mess with it, hence the reading the manual to make sure I have the right needle/stitch/foot). Next up, getting more acquainted with my serger and dress form! :)
I also found a neat free pattern via Lion Brand, and I think I may use it for a knitted gift in the spring. Look at me being all planning and crafty. I enjoy it, its just tough when there are so many things you want to make and you can't do it all at the same time. I have some really pretty stuff that I'm going to try and tackle for my first sweater (gulp) for myself. Its something I'd wear in the summer given its open, lace-like design. I'm going to need to consult with the master (Mom) on that one.
We met my Brother's new kitten last night - squee! Its an orange and white tiger with double paws that he's named "Chewie" (yes, as in the SW variety). Such a weirdo, he would chase the toy mice around, pushing them across the wood floor with his front paws on the ground (ala a zamboni) and his back feet running like mad. Cats are so odd, but that's why I love them. I still haven't met my Sister's new kitten, "Andre".
