Low Volume Patchwork Pillow

I've sewn quilts ... lots of those.  =)

I've sewn tote bags, messenger bags, market bags, and knitting project bags.

I've sewn clothing ... well, sort of.  Does the baby variety count?!

I've never sewn pillows covers or drapes.

I don't ever plan on sewing drapes.  Perhaps curtains, if I really must.  =)





But Friday afternoon I sewed a pillow cover ... 

Leftover prints from a Low Volume quilt 
 Stash fabric for the envelope back
 Ikea pillow form kicking around the Work Room.

Start to Finish in less then one hour.  
I am seriously in LOVE with the Built-In walking foot on my Janome!!!!


    





Waiting for me in my Favorite Chair.  =)

Have a Lovely Weekend ... Stay Safe and Warm!

New Year ... New Look!

DGD has been Spiffed Up!
I deleted any posts that had broken links.
I changed the background, clipart, and text to something Dotty, Colorful, and Happy.

Do you like it?!?!

This fall I got a new phone (the smarty-pants variety) and it was chock-full of pictures.  I successfully downloaded them all to the desktop and now I Can Not Find them!!!   Hopefully, Mr. K can locate them tonight. 





I was able to rescue this picture of my Work Room. =)
(yes, I tidied it up for the picture ... because I know you will ask)

Outside my window ... it is sunny but shivery cold.  I should not complain as it is actually warmer then yesterday ... 15 degrees instead of 7 degrees.  LoL  =)


I am thinking ... I want to blog LOTS MORE in 2013.  Last year was pretty skimpy here @ DGD and I am really sorry about that! (eta.  There are only 5 posts in 2012 ... that's pretty pathetic.  =(  )


I am thankful ... for all the lovely people who became followers of DGD last year even with the lack of blogging.  XOXOX


In the kitchen ... the dishwasher just finished running and I need to unload it.  Why is it that I so dislike that job?!


I am wearing ... a staple work outfit.  Cardigan with t-shirt and a Lacy Baktus on the top.  Skirt with tights on the bottom.  Would I be a total dork if I wore TWO pairs of tights one on top of the other so that I can stay warm?!?


I am creating ... a crocheted entrelac blanket for Abigail's 9th birthday (lots of hooky time yet as it is not 'til April) out of Stylecraft Special DK.  It is in Lucy colors + a "few" more that are coming from Deramores


I am wondering ... what to make for supper???  I made Zucchini Corn Chowder last week.  It was so YUMMY that I want to make it again.  =)  Thank you, Meg, for sharing the recipe with me!!


I am reading ... through the Bible with Mr. K and Abigail.  One chapter every night (when we remember =) ).  


 I am hoping ... that Abigail's presentation on the Netherlands goes well.  She made a poster and everything! 


I am looking forward to ... teaching the second session of Beginning Crochet today at Wexford Dry Goods.  I will tell you more about my new job sometime soon.  =)

I am hearing ... the hum of the furnance and not much else.  It is So Quiet when I am home alone.


Around the house ... lots and lots of baskets of yarn.  It is hard to keep them contained to the Work Room.  =) 


One of my favorite things ...Ravelry.  I've been tooling around it quite a bit lately and finding so much inspiration.   


I hope you have the Best Thursday Ever!
