Sew & Tell - Maria's Baby Blanket

So October has passed. It's time to sit down and get serious. I mean sitting down in front of the sewing machine. After all, it's November. It's getting cold. It's getting wet. And the days are getting shorter. The perfect time to stay home and sew. Maybe you need a new table cloth to decorate your holiday table. Or a pillow to befriend on the couch. Or a blanket to snuggle in. I have said this numerous times, but I will say this again. Nothing could be cozier than mom's handmade quilt/blanket. It is sooooo special. I have a picture to prove it. Baby Adella knows. She is just one special bundle of love for her mother, Maria, who, of course, is the creator of this adorable mushroom and daisy blanket. Such a happy blanket. Can't you tell that Adella loves it? Thank you, Maria!

Brown Clover Tunic

There, I finished my brown clover tunic. The same pattern that I used for Diane's tunic. I chose a small brown clover print and love it. This is such a nice pattern. Since this is my second time to use it, it went much more smoothly. See? The more you sew, the better you become. Simple! This is what I say when people ask me how to polish their sewing skills. Yeah, just sew. And as you sew more, pay more attention to detail.

Hello November

Hello November. And congratulations to the Giants. No, I'm not a baseball fan. I never watched any game during the regular season, but the World Series was a different thing. It excited me. I hurried home to watch the games. It was more out of patriotism to the city of San Francisco, but the games were actually fun to watch. After all, San Franciscans couldn't possibly lose against Texans, don't you think? Oh, and if you are wondering, there were no trick-or-treaters on our street. While watching the game, I waited for them with "The Cat in the Hat" hat I made for my son on. Candy in the bowl ready to go. Spirit so high. But, none. Nada. Zero. What was I thinking? I quit.
