japanese pattern project
i had been wanting to make something from a japanese pattern for a while but was a bit intimidated since i do not read the language. i finally gave in to all of the beautiful images of these projects and decided to buy a pattern log. when i opened it up i was even more nervous. i can't believe how many patterns they squeeze on to one sheet!
while i located all of the appropriate pieces, then traced and cut,
i sent suki and adam to the fabric shop. this is the fabric they decided on, it is called "heavy metal".
over all i am pleased with how they turned out, and it was not as difficult as i expected. i did not even seem rip once! hopefully i will make her one of everything on that pattern sheet.

yarning for you
this fall i was planning winter projects. the brisk chill of hat and scarf season inspired me to make something with yarn. i had been neglecting these types of projects since our beloved, local yarn shop closed last year. the hat in this photo i made while i was still pregnant. i love accessories for children! the scarf shown here is one of my favorites. suki's uncle b learned to knit so that he could make her this scarf along with a little hat and a beautiful afghan. the afghan is shown on the far right in the photo below. now that the weather has finally turned cold for the season suki has been sleeping with it at night.
i decided to make a few afghans. i had visions of keeping warm with my crochet and hot coffee while listening to records and watching the snow falling softly outside. unfortunately, i was already finished with my fourth afghan by the time the first snow arrived. i enjoyed my time making these and they did keep me very cosy in the process.
my current project is this little embroidered drawing. it will hang above suki's play kitchenette when i finish. adam learned to crochet last week and has been working on an afghan for his grandfather. it is turning out beautifully. i will post a picture of that one soon.
for now enjoy this tune by karl blau. one of our favorites from 2010.
