What's Goin' On

Good morning y'all. Here is a crummy indoor photo of Butterick 4985, View C, just to prove I haven't been a total slacker lately:
I'll have a better photo later and a complete review. It's storming outside right now and I figured wet photos wouldn't be too cool.

I have temporarily changed my schedule at work and I haven't been home in the evenings this week, so my stitching time has suffered. I doubt I'll have Nan's garden finished by the end of the month. I've reached the "big cross stitch" section of the design which features a fountain and some flowers:


I still think those turtles are just too stinkin' cute! I'll be putting a few stitches in here and there when time permits.

My March Burda Style arrived this week. Unfortunately, I'm not too impressed. I was all excited about sewing something from every issue this year, but I guess I can forget about that. On the other hand, I do have a couple of things in the pipeline from previous issues that should keep me busy. For every "dud" issue, there's another one that is just chock full of stuff that I want.

I hope your sewing/stitching week has been more productive than mine. And for all you folks out there who are in the path of these thunderstorms- stay safe and dry!

I'd say that you have been very productive! Any stitching done is progress forward. Love the colors on the blouse--it looks like spring!

From what I can see, the shirt looks good. I love the Spring fabric. I agree about the March Burda Style. Although I have a ton of patterns to sew from other issues, a dud issue is a disappointment.

You're the furthest thing from a slacker that I've ever seen....

That's a very cute blouse, and perfect for spring. Love your handwork, too. Doing it is so relaxing. A good stres-reliever.
