Weave Away/Crochet WIP

Image
Totally not talking about hair weave. So this is what I have been working on. I decided to try something new yet different with fabric. I've always liked how weaving looked in baskets. But, I yet to give it a try. So I cut up some stretch denim into strips As you can see here: I cut a lot of strips. So now work with me so you all can see what is this going to be. No not a basket lol. Here I laid it out into the weaving order. Pinning it into place and top stitching over it to keep all the strips in place. Still wonder hummmm what am I doing. Here I then cut out the pattern I wanted. Can you tell what it is? Now you can see what it really was. See some capris shorts whatever you like to call them lol. Cute aint it. Front Started on June 23, 2008 Finished June 24, 2008 Took some brakes in between time but, got to finish around 1 am No pattern followed Use stretch blue denim Back I just was trying something new yet different. Liked how this turned out. But, now I would like to give th...

Update Nesa/Crochet/Sewing

Well TGIF :) A quick update on my daughter Nesa. Well finally decided to update my blog been feeling all down and mopping around the house lately can't sleep due to me worrying to much but, trying to stay strong. Well Nesa had yet another surgery on Tuesday. It went somewhat ok but, not what I thought it would be. I was told by her GI doctor that due to Nesa's veins in her chest and stomach growing to big that they can burst and she can bleed to death. Now that set me off right there. They have been doing these little surgeries where they go in and inject Nesa's veins to keep them from not getting bigger but, it seems to not be working so now the next step is to put Nesa back on the liver transplant list. That was the last choice so that is what they have to do. Me hearing this just set me off all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I have been worring keeping a very close eye on Nesa. Making sure she wont bleed. Grrr me typing this just making me ball out in tears. But, I...

Me and my girls plan on going to the zoo sometime this week. They more want to go to the water parks to get wet. Our weather here in Milwaukee is to confusing for me to have them going to get wet. Nesa have another surgery coming up this Tuesday so I wanted to update my blog this weekend because aint not telling when I will have time again. But, I do get to get in some crocheting from time to time. I was supposed to had put my hook down for awhile, while I worked on some sewing projects but, I found myself picking up my hook again from time to time at night while watching tv. I guess I couldn't keep the hook out of my hand to long. So here are my latest crochet projects. Have to say I totally loved how Nellie outfit came out.
