The Mojo is back!

All,

I got a lot done this week!

Handmaiden Yarn crocheted up into a flirty scarf. The colors are not showing as nice as in person. They are a beachy type palette.


Here is my weaving off the loom...Woohoo...Am playing with the new colors to figure out a nice pattern. I'll be using Tsumagi silk in medium and dark grey along with black and a red to punch it up. I love the yarn from Habu ! You always get such interesting results...love love love it!


That weaving was fun to do...I used some on my Kuri Kura silk. It was lovely thick and thin.

I crocheted this little pinafore for Mimi. This was out of my stash work! No buying yarn for this little project. No pattern...kinda made it up as I went along. Hubby and I went to Target and picked up a little white dress for underneath.




Here is Mimi with her hooded blanket made by the lovely Ms. Pam. Ms. Pam is one of the ladies at work who gift every new baby at work with a handmade blanket.

This blanket was made by Nanny Franny. Isn't it fluffy?



For next week I have Mimi's summer dress to sew. I've cut it all out. I am looking at a sweater for myself. Coming up this month I am taking a class on two Saturdays at The Point NYC. A baby sweater class. That should be fun.

Am working on an art project that I am hoping to show at my favorite Park...more to follow on this one.
Enjoy your week...Daffys are starting to poke out of the ground!!

Mimi is a very well dressed little one. The pinafore is so cute.

Weaving project in the sun

Hello! It was a wacky crazy horrific week at work! There wasn't too much time to work on projects. I am working on one new baby blanket and of course my Weaving II project. Here is the inspiration picture along with the work in progress. A sunny spot full of the yarn I am using. Light blues through black with a tiny touch of yellow as an accent color. The warp is a light grey tencel. The weft is a mix of yarns. I have yarn from Habu there as well. Thank you for the nice comments on Hubby's garden. It has come a long way since we moved in. Here is a close up of the Dogwood flowers on the west side of the house. Enjoy the great weather! Hugs, Marie

Thoughts of family

Here is a picture of Princess S at her 1st Birthday. The lovely auntie holding her is my sister the Artist. The Artist and I have a lot in common. We both love museums, traveling, and exploring the city. We are peas in the pod. My other sisters are terrific as is my brother, Dad to Princess S. We are a pretty tight group. My mom taught me how to crochet when I was a tiny thing...I think she taught me so I would stay out of her hair for a while...poor mom! Mom was a master at creating Halloween costumes out of ordinary things. No plastic masks for us. I remember being a gypsy, a country singer, a 50s style girl and my favorite a flamenco dancer. In the summer we spent a lot of time in the library and the zoo. We spent so much time at the Bklyn. Botanical Gardens we knew the security guards by name. The Brooklyn Museum was our home away from home. So many great memories. With that Happy Mother's day to all of you out there. Spend time with your children and give them

Progress!!!!

You all were right! The fuzzy funky picture was of the Empire State Building from the West side of the city, around 28th street and 9th Avenue. Look at Chocolate!! I buckled down and worked on this all weekend..well I did stop to take a ride with Mister Hubby out to Ikea to see if we could find something to keep my linen in. No luck! It was very crowded and full of screaming kids. Poor kiddies! I did find this cool basket to keep my current work in process in. I normally use a small shopping bag, but the yarn would tangle. This is much nicer. I also reorganized my craft corner. My books and yarn were getting out of control! Lola's room is finished! A little house I made. It didn't come out too great..the next one will be better. This is the very first embroidery I made and kept for myself when I was about 13. I always gave away everything I made to my aunts and stuff. My mom taught me to sew when I was really little. Whenever someone would give me cast off clothing I would
