In my free moments...crocheting, knitting, perler beads and a little sewing

The last couple of weeks at work have kicked my behind. (Oops!  I missed last week's Feature Friday!)   But I have been doing small projects whenever a spare moment came up.

Recently, my hubby and his friend have gotten into perler beads.  And I wanted to try it out, so I created a few coasters in a 70's design inspiration.  So far I have....




I think they are fun....(sorry, not the best pics ever...)

I have also been knitting on the bus to and from work.  I am using my new found cabling skills to make myself a laptop sleeve!


This is what I have so far.  I think I will be sharing the pattern once I have completed it, so keep an eye out for that, too!

I also just got some new cast iron cookware, which I am seriously loving.  No going back for me!  But the handles get pretty hot, so I crocheted us a few handle covers out of cotton....


I think they came out cute. :)


And finally, I just started cutting out a dress that I bough material for probably at least 2 years ago!  I am pretty excited for it, and happy to be getting back into sewing more.


I absolutely love the Sew Serendipity book that I have.  And I need to get the new one!  Here is the dress I want to make - mine will be out of the above material - the floral pattern is the main fabric and the pink dotted material will be the accents.



Can't wait to share all the finished products with you soon!

Slowly getting my etsy store going....

Today I added a new item to the ol' etsy shop, aka 23point4degreetilt.  It is a slow but steady process, with creating new items in the little spare time I have.  But I am getting better at it all the time, and excited to fill up the 'shelves'.

Today I added this laptop sleeve that I upcycled from an old cable knit sweater, and embellished with felt star appliqués and some fun vintage buttons.  




Thanks for checking it out!  

Happy Sunday!
