Time for a project update! Craft-time has focused mainly on the Ogee Afghan , for the past several weeks. I've decided I finally have enough motif strips and have begun joining them using the "zipper method" . Next, there's the border to consider. I think I'll keep the border very simple (and probably fairly narrow) on this afghan, but that depends on how it looks when the time comes. Here are a couple of photos of the joining process: - - - - - - - In between motifs, I've done a few other small-scale crafty things. I hemmed a couple of sets of (store-bought) curtains. We've been using them for a while, but one set needed hemming because the fusible tape (applied in lieu of stitching) was coming loose, and I wanted to hem the other set because I was tired of having them at "pooling" length. (Pooled curtains just aren't practical with two long-haired indoor dogs and the resultant pet-hair tumbleweeds.) Then there
quilts, treadle sewing machines, crochet, watercolor, dogs, & other fun stuff
