This winter has been a long one - February has been interminable - BLECH. Hubby and I are headed to Florida in a week - I think that's why the last month has been so hard to get through! Here's a photo from my front steps - I took it this morning when I got up:
Yeah - that's a lot of damn snow - it LOOKS pretty, but in reality, it's very wet and heavy and oppressive! I can't wait for spring! Or Florida. Whichever comes first ;) (SARASOTA HERE WE COME!) :)
Here are some of the projects I finished this month while I was hibernating :D
 |
| Boxy bag trio :) Pinecones - 7w x 3t x 4d. Guitar - 9.5w x 3.5t x 4d. Purple floral 11w x 3.5t x 5d. (Inches, not cms, lol). |

| Earbud pouches - about 5" in diameter (I increased the size to 115% to make them easier for me to sew). Tutorial here :) |
 |
| Skull tall pouches :D These ones measure 10w x 10t x 3.5d :) |
 |
| Drawstring gift bag for Christmas - unlined - fabric was a remnant (Joanns probably) - 20w x 19t :) |
 |
| Aaaaaaaah I love Kristin Link from Sew Mama Sew - she provided us with a lovely free tutorial for these bags, and then further sizing information so we could make them in multiple sizes. I'm addicted! The larger ones measure 10.5w x 11.5t and the smaller ones are 9.5w x 5.5t :) |
 |
| Santa Sack - shhhhhhhh don't tell Maddie what's coming! Tutorial here :D |
More photos to come :)

I'm wintered out as well. You've chosen a great time for that vacation. When you are back, there should be enough warm days to keep up the spirits with the promise of green instead of white.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to get to Joann's to get some of that seasonal fabric on sale!
Well, I guess hibernation for you means work'in away in your sewing cave ;-)
ReplyDeleteLots of wonderful projects you made!
A trip to FL is just what the doc ordered for oppressive weather, lucky you.
cute fabrics, lots of pouches, pretty good hybernation :-)
ReplyDeleteYou've been one busy bee for sure!
ReplyDeleteWe don't get snow so to me it looks beautiful. We've had a very mild winter, a bit like Spring really. I dread Spring because I know Summer is just around the corner. You've been very busy during your hibernation. Everything looks wonderful and you always choose such pretty fabrics. Hope you enjoy your trip to Florida.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was going to Florida! Your snow picture looks just like it looks here right now! I need spring to come, you have been busy, love the pouches.
ReplyDeletelook at you go lady! I wish we'd had some snow like that, I never get bored of it! It used to snow every day for 4 months of a Polish winter - bliss! Enjoy Florida, don't forget the sunscreen!
ReplyDeleteThe snow does look very pretty, especially covering the trees. I have never seen that much snow, other than in photos. Good idea to enlarge the earbud pouches to make them easier to sew. Enjoy the warmer weather in Florida!!!
