Gonna be seeing spots

Ok, I was going to post Monday, but I was so lethargic. Same on Tuesday. Thankfully I can shift those posts around. Score +1 for attempting blog organization?

Hopefully by this weekend, I will have started on my circle skirt.



Yes, remember, ehh, this time last year when I mentioned I'll be following Casey's circle skirt a-long? Well, better late than never, right? My dad helped me pick this fabric when we were in the fabric store. As I was paying for it, I saw him ogling the sewing machines, and I joked that he should buy himself one, and sew my skirt for me.
He just laughed, that's yes in dad speak, right?



I painted my nails blue the other day, and it's already chipping! It seems that red polish stays better, so why not do the polka dots again!



Oh, did I mention I have a spindle now(I've had it for almost a year)? I'm on the look for another, as I would like to make some fingering weight yarn someday.

So I've got my fingers crossed that I'll have things worked on by the weeks end!

I hope you all are having a great first day of summer!!

Link Dump

I should really make a nifty graphic for these posts. I'm pretty positive people only comment when they see pictures.


Casey posted some pretty Summer Inspiration from 1949.

Charlotte posted up some pretty 1940's Lingerie. I kinda want a couple of those pieces, they're so cute!

Tasha asked her followers to give her Tips to get over a crafting slump. Very helpful information, especially when one is prone to crafting burnout.

Diana showed off her craft fair display, and it's super adorable!

Naomi gave a very fun guide for if you had only one day to visit Paris. I may or maynot have taken notes.

Hope you enjoyed this weeks link list!

Works in Progress

I've been making it very important I'm working on something for these next few weeks, to ensure I'm not vegging out in front of my laptop. I think its working out just fine. So here's some progress from Sunday and Monday.



It's summer (well, technically late spring), and I've got friends asking to borrow my books. Now I don't mind lending them, it's just I've had friends forget they've been keeping my book. My solution, make a million and seven bookplates to remind them, that book isn't theirs!



I'm still making slow progress on the second sock. I usually will pick it up when I feel like some tiny knitting to calm my nerves.



I'm actually much farther along on this. But it's where I was yesterday afternoon. I've made the back, the right side, and this is the left side. I'm sure by the time this publishes, I'll be working on my first sleeve if I pace myself correctly. =D



I've been gathering up stash fabric, and making bow brooches. Well, I think I'll make bow brooches. I'm thinking making them little hair bows if I get my hands on some alligator clips. What do you guys think?

What things are you working on?
