finished objects

Welcome to my most image-heavy entry ever!

To begin with, here is the finished Haiti!

Here is a full length picture if you are interested.

I’m glad that this one is finally finished. Mom pulled out the edging several times (and changed hook sizes several times) before she was happy with it. I am very happy with it – Haiti is a perfectly delicious tank.

And here is the finished Mercury:

Princess Arjumand is right inside, with room left over for the power source and the camera cable. I may never felt another thing again. My poor bag looks like it’s made out of a muppet.

Last but not least, I’ve been trying to finish up Sitcom Chic. I spent the afternoon pinning, basting and sewing the ribbons onto the front edges. And look at the lovely disaster I made.

The fronts don't match up!

Three guesses what my Genius Self did wrong.

I managed to get one side of the front attached to a MUCH shorter ribbon. That takes Skills, people. It gathered just beautifully. I’ll get out the seam ripper and try again tomorrow. Incidentally, that was the only shot I got of my disaster. I was going to take another but something got in my way.

Off to fix supper, work on That Sock, and watch the Olympics.
