backlog!

I've been meaning to get to these for awhile... I blame a shortage of dog biscuits to keep my puppy occupied long enough for me to sew! First up: the wonky stars for Jessica. These were officially my second and third time making wonky stars... it took me a while to get back in the groove, but I enjoyed getting reacquainted! And I love the citrus colors - so cheery.


Second were Jess's blocks. What are these called, anyway? In my brain, I think I'm cataloging them as little hills... either way, I'm in love. This block took me longer than I care to admit, but I really like the look. I think I feel compelled to add lots of details to these type of blocks, especially if I'm only making one - hope that's okay. And I didn't really have a choice when it came to "pop of color" - I'm teal all the way! I can't wait to see the finished product!

Catching up... again

Here I am in my little self portrait for Wendy.

This sort of block does not come naturally to me. I struggled and don't really think this captures what I wanted. Oh well. At least I got pants, scarf, and layered tops in. I couldn't get my feet to look anything close to right and ultimately went footless. Let's just pretend my crazy pants cover my feet, okay? ;)

Digs's block was right up my alley. I was able to crank this out in no time. And I don't want to give it back.  But I will.  Since I was bribed with chocolate.
