Seven Minutes... #2

 



Seven Minutes— starting NOW!

Last time I did this I had fun. So I'm doing it again. Here we go!

I found this photo of my sewing machine that I took last fall. I was doing a lot of sewing then. I had sewn things to give for Christmas and other gifts. The idea was to find a project bag type that I truly enjoy making. Then, if I truly did enjoy sewing them, I would sew up a big batch and restock my Etsy shop. I've had it closed or on vacation for quite a bit now. 

I've thought of reopening many times through the last few years. I've thought of selling sewn items, vintage items, and maybe even a few knitted items. I just never seemed to get around to it. 

To me, the ideal time to reopen would be in September so that I could take advantage of holiday sales. That would mean a lot of making between now and then. I haven't been doing much making these days. 

Long hours at the office have kept me from doing much more than putting a few stitches in the reader's shawl that I began a bit more than a month ago. I'm using a solid tan held double with one of my numerous scraps. It's all sock yarn. Some is left from other projects, some is from a gift of 5-10 gram balls that I received as a gift last Christmas. It's been relaxing to work on since it's all garter stitch... until I realize that I've made a mistake several rows back! 

Well— my alarm just went off. Just a moment to check my spelling and...

PUBLISH!

Have a wonderful week ladies!
