Re: Just a couple of projects to keep me busy

I took a few minutes tonight to put pictures of my recent projects on my web page:

The infamous pillowcases:

Very nice, indeed. I hope they thanked you on their knees as is their duty! ;->

My sister's (very late) Christmas present, finished after the pillowcases were delivered:

Lovely, indeed!

And a new shirt I just made to wear on vacation next week:

Ah yes, just the thing for the beach; the cotton is easy care, I take it? Anyway, the colours are so deep, and rich, and juicy - just like the plums in my parents' garden that are ripening now. I really like that. I'll try to make something for my trip to the seaside, too, but I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it. Anyway, you set quite a pace and I'm striving to keep up with it (I've given up following Kate's, since that is far too fast for me), and all in all, I'm quite proud and happy to be part of a group of such diligent and creative people as is alt.sewing.

The item I'm making for Ursula's DD is done, but I won't put pictures up until after she receives it. I won't be able to get to the post office until after I return from the beach. :-(

Ah, don't worry about that; the little darling is spoilt enough as she is; we redid her room, meaning that we gave away the couch that took so much space and now she has a little kitchen there with a table and chair. She is so proud of it; she decorated the table with all her plates and cups and is expecting guests all the time. On her door, there's a 'wind chime' made of a fake lei in Germany's national colours, a key strap with bottle opener and a plush 'Hello Kitty' (rattles nicely when the door is moved and the lei and other parts tend to get stuck in the door, but dear me, what has to be has to be). And the door is to be closed at all times. Perhaps it's about time to hand her the 'good' IKEA toy china, cutlery and glasses... ;-)

You take your time and have a smashing time! Take deep breath of Pacific sea breeze for me, too.
