A Few Projects

Heres a few of the projects I've been working on while juggling the two jobs.

First I finished the Seed Stitch bag, now I just need to sew on a nice button and put the lining inside. Im really happy with how it came out except the strap is a bit longer then I would like it but I can just tie it for a quick fix.

Next is the tea pot cross stitch ive been working on. I got the pattern last week and ive been spending quite a bit of time on it but so far it still doesnt really look like anything.
Ive also been branching out and working with wire and beads. Knitting with wire is extreamly hard for me but i really like the way it looks. I havent been able to get alot done because after two or three rows my fingers start to hurt really bad. So it is a work in progress.

And then there is the never ending lace vest. I promise I will finish it but its been moving along really slowly. Ive been telling myself just a few rows a day and pretty soon it will be done!

Things Come and Things Go

With school over you would think i would have had a lot of time to catch up on my crafting but unfortunately that is not the case. When one door closes another opens and that new door is the dreaded summer camp...Filled with hot days, 100 children running around and the always much anticipated super fun field trips I wont have much time for crafting. Working at the camp and at the Gallery leaves very little time to do the things that I want to do. However my lace vest has been slowly making progress and hopefully by the end of the month it will be done!

Tomorrow knitting class turns into Jewelry Making class but I have found a way to combine the two. I am going to attempt to do "wire knitting" which I am super excited about. I love the fact that you can combine the two to create something very rich looking. Hopefully pictures will be up soon.

But for now here are a few of the projects that I have slowly been trying to finish.

• Vogue Knitting Lace Vest
• Seed Stitch Bag
• (hopefully starting) Taos Vest
• (starting tomorrow) Wire Knitting bracelet.

Pictures will come soon (my computer wouldn't upload them v_v
