not sure

yep

SICK

this is actually the worst plan

mrow

made a quilt

 

in retrospect, i should have: measured properly, pressed before i measured, pressed as i went along, BASTED (what a goddamn chore. but essential, really), not put that black/yellow/white daisy fabric in there, bought every last yard of that fabric i used as the backing because it is so beautiful, and more batting. it could be cuddlier but i'm not complaining. also a chevron or a ziggyzag over the squares to hide all the puckering. i give this quilt a 6 out of 10, strictly because the patterns are so cool together. it is pretty fuckin sloppy though. but i made it yaaaaaay!!! first quilt ever. in the process of drawing a step-by-step comic for it.  <3's

naaaaapkins

i made these napkins for my friend josh who just got married. josh, if you're reading this, stop. josh, you probably don't read my blog, so i feel ok about posting pictures of these. i am SUUUUUPER proud. i've never sewn anything by myself before, so when my friend sabrina gave me the pattern and taught me how to make them, i was really amazed at my own enthusiasm. i made 8 of these bad boys, two of each kind of the four different fabrics i chose. josh is pretty crafty, and he likes being in the kitchen. although i haven't met his wife sarah yet, i can just bet she's probably a crafty, cooky kind of lady, too. the colors are nice and summery and farmhousey. I'M REALLY PROUD OF THESE IS BASICALLY WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET ACROSS HERE. i really hope they like them. i wanted to give them something they can use that didn't come in a box. it made me so happy to make something for my sweet friends, especially when the something i made is something that i'm proud of. which doesn't happen too often.
next project: banana bandanas for the baltards. i <3 baltards so hard
