Yoga clothes

So, we've been working out and riding our bikes to the gym.

I found that I either have to wear shorts or yoga pants that threaten to get stuck in my bike chain.

So, I made some pants and a top to go with it

Of course, they both have pockets

A little something

I knitted a green headband while watching the Hulk

not quite the same color, but the yarn has big chunky parts and skinny parts, so it's appropriate

Wow, I'm a slacker

What with all the wedding planning, going back and forth across the country, and working on a re-model, I haven't been making things on a daily basis. But, there are a few things I've been working on over the past month or so and I feel the need to post.

I don't know why harassing my cat is so amusing to me.

I think she looks great in a hat.
More Cat Hats in 2010!

This is my first pathetic attempt at a slipcover.
Now I know why people buy them.
I need to fix it this week

And last, but not least, today I finally finished the painting that I plan to use for the wedding invitations. It's gone through several phases and layers, and yes, there are seams because it's painted on jeans that we stretched onto 1x4s

I say it's done because I'm afraid anything else I could do to it would mess it up.

I would love to say that I will be more consistent again with my production and posting, but, I don't think that's realistic.

I will at least make an effort to photograph and post the things I've made, though, because there are many other things that I've made, but I have no idea where my camera so I only have what few pictures I've taken on my phone.

sorry for not posting

So I've been making things, just not posting.
After making the drive across the country, and many breakfasts, the tax spreadsheet for the accountant and various other things, I figured I'd make a post.

When I was sewing yesterday I realized that a big part of making things for me now was showing it off, too. Whether or not anyone saw it. So, here's the things that I've made in the past few weeks.

I got here without a headband.
Big mistake, that was the first thing I needed

First attempt at men's wear. Pants from a pattern.
After many fittings, they don't need a belt!

Little cotton knitted tank top

Hemp crocheted bag.
It fits a kitten!

Hoodie top! With pocket and stripes!

Matchy skirt

I love my guitar.
It's an old guitar that I bought online...without a case.

Since I don't plan on flying with it, all I really need is gig bag, and since it's bigger and differently shaped than most acoustics these days, it just seemed easier to make one.

Small pick pocket up top, a pocket for strings

and the big pocket for music etc.

I had to have something cute on the back, besides the strap

and, yes, all the petals are pockets

Yesterday I bought ski jackets,
today I made a swimsuit.

Go figure

Most of the day I spent running around to thrift stores.
I found some cool yarn, which I tried out with this little wristband/bracelet thing
