FAL, Quarter Four, 2015


2015 FAL at On the Windy Side

To be fair, a lot of is being carried over from last quarter's list.  Then I got bit by the SHINY bug and added a crapton more.  Yup, that's how I roll.  On the upside, the mini Stash Bash is in Oct, so maybe I'll knock some of it out.  I am well aware that most of the knitting goals, at least, will roll over into 2016.  I'm cool with that.

FAL, quarter 3


2015 FAL at On the Windy Side

ALYOF Sept finishes (and more)


I finished my items for the #whedonverseswap15.

I decided to make an apron for my partner as she likes to cook.
I went with a Captain Hammer emblem.

#whedonverseswap15

I decided I needed to add more, so I made a cross stitch of a quote from "Firefly."

#whedonverseswap15

I'm adding a bunch of other lovelies to the mix.


In addition,  I finally finished the socks for my SIL.

I also finally got around to taking pictures of my C&S improv...which turned into two pillow covers for the guest room.  I have Misdirection pics, too (also now living in the guest bedroom).

I finished the Heal Circle quilt over Yom Kippur.  It was, sadly, the first quilt I've finished in a while.

ALYOF September Goal




I feel like my sew-jo has gone AWOL.

Going back to school is just making me feel exhausted.  I'm coming home and snoozing with the dog.  I'm not eating as well as I should either.  Blarg.

I'm setting a goal that needs to happen this month.
My #whedonverseswap items are due to be mailed the first week of October.


#whedonverseswap

I'd like to get it all sorted this month!  I have a plan for a big and a little.  I have all the supplies.  Just need to get my booty in gear.

ALYOF- August finish!




I spent a huge chunk of time handquilting at the front end of the month.

Then my hands got sore....and I got into back to school mode.

But I rallied over the weekend....and just worked on this project.

And it's done!

I love it!


Gypsy Wife complete!

August ALYOF goal




Keeping it straightforward.  Trying to get it done before my birthday midmonth.

I want to finish my Gypsy Wife.


Gypsy Basted




I'm handquilting using a boatload of perle.

I'm not a huge fan of handsewing, but I kind of love this quilt enough that I mentioned to my husband that I might make another.  It's got that ugly pretty thing going that I kind of dig.
