and i'm happy to report that i still have all of my fingers and they haven't been sewn together. so in my opinion - even if i didn't have anything to show for my endeavors - i'm still winning.
so here's my baby.
i haven't named her yet. i'm taking suggestions.

[/caption]i've been to joann fabrics two, too many times and spent far too much money.
it may or may not be my new favorite place.

[/caption]i've been mildly successful. and i like that.
i've got a lot on my list of things to make.
curtains.
potholders.
pillowcases.
more placemats.
weird things for the cat to wear.
the opportunities are endless. well. there is a limit. because i'm not good and my projects still tend to look like shit.
