Well, I’m officially in Big Trouble. My youngest daughter, M, has been witness to the excitement and enthusiasm surrounding N’s debut into the World of Sewing, and naturally, she will not be left behind.
So I dutifully drug myself to the nearest Hobby Lobby and purchased her a $15 Kids’ Singer (hot pink, of course) and some sale bin fabric. She has announced to me her list of project goals and is more excited about learning to sew than eating or sleeping. I’ll sneak some photos at least of the cute little machine (and my ever-expanding stack of sale fabric) tomorrow and get them online for ya. But Big Trouble, with both girls wanting to sew now.
Speaking of Trouble, the cute little LYS where the Yarn That Has Stolen My Heart is having a party/sale evening tomorrow and I’m being lured in that direction. Don’t buy the yarn. Don’t buy the yarn. Don’t buy the yarn. (I’ll have to let you know how this works out…) Details about the object of my obession are here.
And then there’s Little Bit of Trouble: M has the role of a cute little ornery lion cub in an upcoming children’s play in our area. (Can you say typecasting?!) And–Surprise! Parents are responsible for the costumes. Mom to the rescue (not ME, silly…MY MOM, the costume-maker and woman-who-can-create-anything, to the rescue!). So the little trouble, is really trouble for which I have a partner in crime–team lion cub creators.
I am also knitting monkey tails for the same play. Really. Monkey tails. But seriously, once you learn to make an I-cord, you can’t really call making eight brown ones while destashing some of your old yarn trouble, can you?!
SO–I promise soon to post photos of:
1. M’s new sewing machine, hopefully with her in action
2. N’s latest sewing adventures
3. The lion cub costume WIP
4. The monkey tails
5. Hopefully nothing from the yarn store–but if I break down, I’ll confess to it all here. Seriously–I’m just going for a visit.
At last my photographs are up and running again. As promised in my earlier post, here is M’s very very pink market bag!
As I said, very very pink.
The sisterhood of the traveling market bags? (Yes, I know, lame. But the bags are cute!)
Big enough for a (big) buddy or two:
These bags go everywhere with us. And obviously, they stretch to fit the task at hand!
Well, after N began using her market bag and getting all sort of neat comments about it, little M decided that she needed one–top priority! I’ve been working on a pink one in Plymouth Fantasy Naturale #9992 to suit her princess personality. Photos should be up tomorrow, as I’m expecting it to be finished then. (So is M.)
This pic shows the Plymouth Yarn version.

Nothing like a little sibling rivalry to re-prioritize your knitting agenda!
What the Craft?!
