My curre...I'm there with you on the books too. My current project is Brothers Karamazov. <br /><br />Sewing: I have tons and tons of fabric just waiting to sew ... shirts for DH, blouses, dresses, etc for DD and myself. A beautiful wool that I want to make a lined, winter cape for myself. So much fabric that I really should take out insurance on it. LOL Although I don't seem to be able to find time with sewing right now, due to schooling with DD and all her PE activities.<br /><br />I, too, want to make a quilt. I took a class on hand-quilting in my previous life (before DH & DD). I want to a quilt for our king bed ... someday.<br /><br />And I want to learn to spin the wool that we have from our (previous) sheep. DH gave me a beautiful spinning wheel for Christmas a few years ago, and I have yet to learn. :-( Of course the band that runs from the treadle to the other side got broken in the move (rather by the DD who was messing it when we were distracted by the move), so I have to fix that, AND find a time when DH can watch DD so I can take a class. Of course, it took 3 tries to get a half hour to see a trainer at the gym, so the chances of me being able to take a class on a particular night for 4 consecutive weeks is pretty slim. Maybe someday, when I feel she's old enough to leave with a sitter ... and I find a sitter. <br /><br />And, btw, I'm right there with you on the ETSY shop. I thought I'd do it this year ... I was really into knitting again ... and then ... no. Not enough time.<br /><br />Blessings!Rebeccahttp://www.xanga.com/living4God_no_regretsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-65189107072102212302010-10-19T13:55:16.064-07:002010-10-19T13:55:16.064-07:00Link seems to have gotten truncated; it was May 5,...Link seems to have gotten truncated; it was May 5, 2007<br />http://mymountainhome.typepad.com/my_mountain_home/2007/05/snow.htmlShelleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-71906181504383524162010-10-19T13:53:47.164-07:002010-10-19T13:53:47.164-07:00I made a really cute AG outfit of traditional Russ...I made a really cute AG outfit of traditional Russian clothing.

I'm not finding the mommy-of-a-toddler season of life very conducive to crafting, and I'm slowly accepting that. :)Tawninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-64123022046309163992010-10-19T08:42:35.299-07:002010-10-19T08:42:35.299-07:00Hey Anna, I'm up for any scraps you may want t...Hey Anna, I'm up for any scraps you may want to send me!Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02169732072381476940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-28431543492150700172010-10-19T07:26:26.780-07:002010-10-19T07:26:26.780-07:00Need some more small floral prints?
