360 Degrees
February 23, 2011
I went from not being able to make a decision to not being able to turn down a project. Yesterday, I started a new type of embroidery. It’s Sashiko, which I read about on The Purl Bee. They have a great tutorial. It’s not hard and moves quickly.
On Monday, I started some Granny Squares. I’m going to start with two pillows, having been inspired by this project. I’m using Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk DK. It is D-Vine. So soft. I luuuuv the way it feels in my fingers. I can’t wait to squoosh my face up against this pillow for a mid-afternoon nap.
I also started working on my February to-do list. I finished my mom’s bag today. I’m mulling over the “thing” I’m going to “create”. And I’ve been working on my scrapbook which turns the coffee table into a paper filled disaster area.
Finally, in my last post I mentioned how Gracie likes the mohair I’m using for my scarf. I had the project on the couch while I sat on the floor. At some point, I turned around to find this:
That cat cracks me up.
That’s it for me. I’ve got projects to finish.

About Me
Welcome to my spot on the web where I talk about needlework, crafts, and [many] other random things.
A few tidbits about me: I met my husband in college, flirting over tuba letters in the Penn Band. Our dog, CJ, and our cat, Sabrina, round out our family. I'm a sewist, knitter and needlepointer, and an occasional scrapbooker. I love organizing, reading, making jewelry, and hiking. A Chicago girl at heart, I am an avid follower the Cubs, Bears, and Blackhawks.
You can email me at mlynapier [at] pobox [dot] com. Thank you for stopping by!
My Etsy Shop
A place for me to sell my handmade goods. My style? It's fun and funky with a hint of romance.
