One month has passed since the last update on my projects, so I thought I'd write down a little on how far I've gotten on all of them. This is the last update for all my projects this year, and I’m thinking of continuing next year too with  this regular posting  about how work on my WIP:s and UFO:s are continuing. It keeps me on track, and it’s nice to see how much I get done during a month. During December, the month started with me having the muscles in my right thumb really aching and sore. I blame Rainbow Scraps for that. It was already the second time I had gotten that particular problem, and I knew the only thing I could do to have it get better was NOT to use my hand. So, it meant no hand-sewing. No crafting. Basically, trying to use the hand as little as possible (which was nearly impossible) and having to eat ibuprofen and the like. Yuck, how boring that whole episode was. Then, my son got an eye infection. Then my daughter got it, and of course me too. A...

Look! More shelves for fabrics! (I know, I know, the rest is a mess, but that’s because I desperately moved stuff from the living room table to the studio before I thought I should take a photo of the new shelves...) After seeing Lorena using ordinary card board to organizing her fabric stash , I wanted to try it out on my stash too. I’m glad I did, even if it meant a LOT of re-folding my fabrics and cleaning up in the studio. I even had to figure out a way to fit those shelves in the studio. Which meant moving around a lot of stuff and then vacuuming away all the mini dust bunnies and fabric threads that suddenly saw daylight. One thing I started to see immediately, was that I have a LOT of floral fabrics. Like, at least 20 fabrics. Now, the thing to keep in mind is that I usually buy fabric in second hand stores and flea markets, so I usually just take what I find. But it was still interesting to notice that. (They’re located on the second shelf, just look above th...

I am a bit behind on listing what quilting supplies I've bought, so I will just list them here so I can get an accurate account of them. I've bought my first ever cotton batting, just to try out how it is to quilt with. I've also bought more glue for EPP, and also more spray glue so I can finish basting more color block quilts. I also bought half a meter of a quilting cotton print that happened to caught my eye in the bins of handicraft  fabrics at Eurokangas I found a better photo online of the print that's on the fabric, because my own photo turned out bad and I don't want to retake it :P Eurokangas   3,43   quilting cotton, 50 cm x WOF (114 cm),             "Soldier's Story II" by Jodi Barrows of Square in a Square for Studio e,             100% cotton print, patt 3376 14,45   cotton batting ----------- 17,88  € Halonen 33,80    2 can...
