Geez, even finding time to write a quick blog entry seems to have escaped me. I did manage to "de-decorate" the house. What a job. Why is it always much more fun to "put up" than to "tear down"? Anyway, I have the furniture back to looking more like a living room. I can actually watch the TV without leaning over in the chair to see around the tree....LOL.
OK, so I wonder if you all have gone back to a less frenetic crafting pace. I know I have. For now I have set aside the crochet hooks and in their place I've begun sewing once again. Way before Christmas I had cut out several items but with all the holiday hullabaloo, these projects were stuffed back into the closet. This month I have emptied the pile of sewing projects onto the table then picked out two of them to work on. I finished the chemise (more like a camisole) and found I truly like the fit. So I will now make a couple in a more expensive fabric like tricot.
Next, I put together a light weight bath robe made of a cotton fabric. It turned out well even though it is from a pattern that can be used for either gender. In fact, hubby liked it so well that I will be making one for him as well. I offered him the one I had just finished but I think the Chinese Red color didn't really jazz his jets....go figure.
I am now down to only about 6 or 7 items in my "crocheted gifts" blanket storage bag. Before the holidays I had two storage bags filled to overflowing. Guess it was a great gifting Christmas.

Hope you are having a great start to the New Year and keep on crafting.
