Sister M's Krafty Korner

I don't know what hit me this particular week... but I'm somehow channeling all of my junior high school home ec classes. It started, I guess, because I needed to fix a pair of pants for work. The seam was coming loose, and, well... a blowout in a room full of preschoolers would probably be a bad thing. So, I got the sewing machine out.

Once it was out and set up, I decided to tackle the under-sink curtains for my half bathroom. I'd bought the material not long after moving in here, and it has just sat for months. Meanwhile, the space under the sink has been useful for storage, but stuff has sort of piled up under there, and it's really not much to look at. So, a bit of ironing, a few pins, some meticulous measuring, and some simple straight line sewing, and voila! Now the bath is festive and fashionable!



(The hand towels will need to be replaced with some fingertip towels that match the color scheme a bit better, but... all in due time!)

Next, I decided to make another small object for baby Alex, who will be arriving at the end of the month. This is strictly "on a whim" knitting, and I'm totally making it up as I go along, but I'll be sure to take a snap and post before I send it off. The purple fingerless gloves are still a work in progress as well, but I think I was in need of something I could start and finish quickly in order to recharge my juices for tackling them again.

Stay tuned!! More krafty stuff to kome!
