Haven't posted for a couple of days. I got busy, the sewing corner is up and running upstairs and I have been working on a coat that I had hoped to get done for this winter. It's still early I may get it done for this winter yet: we had snow yesterday. I don't seem to get be able to get over this cold, so I haven't been doing much at the treadle, the basement doesn't seem to be getting any warmer during the day so when I have been down here I have been under the covers doing some hand sewing.
The kumihimo is a lot of fun and it doesn't take long for the inches to add up, so I have been alternating that with the hexagon blocks. I need 14 tie ups for the treadles on the loom, but it's not warm enough to weave yet so I have some time for that.
The kids have a four day weekend so it will get noisy around here, they are over at Grandma's today so it will be quiet here at least for today.
Yesterday I finished quilting the little girl strip quilt I had done for when I need a baby gift. I noticed the table was cleared off when I went upstairs a few minutes ago so I can pin the little boy quilt and work on that when I get the coat done, so there will be a little less cluttering up the sewing corner. I can also cut out Etina's kitchen curtains and neaten up that pile a little more. Before I can do much more sewing I have to go to Joann's and get some sewing thread. I am out again. Thread didn't use to be such a high cost as it is now. I didn't even use to consider the cost much, I would just buy thread, but now it seems I spend a lot of money on thread and I am always out!
