MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Road runner

 This has been a week where I seem to have been on the road pretty much all the time or at least the lion's share of every day has been spent outside the house.  Needless to say I haven't had much time to spend in my sewing space so I'm in mid-go with several projects.  

# 1
Of course is the landscape which hasn't had a 
stitch added to it

#2
The beginning of a knitted scarf which is
planned to be a take-along project when
we go away next month.


#3
The current pair of socks (I usually have
a pair on the go all the time so I have a 
quick thing to pick up when I have a little time)

shhh - don't tell Resident Chef but these
are going under the Christmas tree for him

- THIS is a really pretty fall project.

- Have a peek at the work by THIS artist!

- THIS is a cute project you might like to try.  While I was poking around on her site, I discovered THIS too.  I'm certainly nowhere near that organized!

- Have a peep through the galleries of THIS fabric artist (look along the bar at the top and click on 'Galleries' to be taken to several different ones).

Today I give you a quote from Mother Teresa...."Be happy in the moment, that's enough.  Each moment is all we need, not more"

    1. They're both using Paton's Kroy Sock yarn which is easy to work with and not too expensive.

  2. Great take-a-long projects on the go for you;)))
    I am still pondering how to make a cover for my "Chunky Monkey" BB which I've now called finished. I am used to sewn in
    signatures so i will most likely go that way--maybe a woolen cover would be nice??? So many possibilities...

    1. I can't stand sitting and doing nothing so I had to come up with a project to take on our trip and one that, if the airport confiscates my needles, will be easy to replace when I get there.

  3. I love the color combination of that yarn. Looks like you have some good projects to keep you busy.

    1. They're nice colours for sure. Didn't realize they were so similar until I posted the pictures.

  5. I see I'm not the only one that's been MIA. I'll be traveling backwards in time to see all the goodies you've posted and your progress.

  8. The yarns are such nice colors! The landscape will benefit from some time on the back burner. You always find such interesting websites.
