Updates

I was getting ready to do a long update, then I realized that more than half the pix I took was so blur they are not usable. Sigh... So some updates then until I can retake the other photos. I've completed sewing a blouse from Simply Chic. I'll have to retake the photos before I can post. I've also started a jacket from Lana Grossa free pattern archive. I'm already eyeing some other projects.

Life is still busy. Lots of things in planning and set in motion. As for blogging,
I'm begining to wonder bout keeping a blog or bloglines for that matter. I get a bit batty nowadays cause everytime I log into Bloglines I have 400 over posts (and counting) to contend with. I no longer enjoy it. :( I feel like I'm plowing through them Darn it, no fun. I do still enjoy reading the blogs of people I know or are close with. Apologies all round, I do try my best to drop by whenever I get some free time. You girls totally make the effort worthwhile. :)

Just in case I don't get back in time for another post before Christmas day itself.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPAY HOLIDAYS everyone!

Butterly

I never thought I'd feel this way but Butterfly is starting to bore me to tears and I'm only at the hips. Before I started Butterfly, I was bit hestitant cause reading the forums, they've encountered problems with the pattern. I'm just glad that Kiri was my first lace project. I learnt a lot from it. Butterfly is actually quite a simple lace stitch. Only 2 lines of 6 sts to remember. It's fast, but because it is a dress, it's still very slow going. Worst is I can't watch TV while doing this to ease the boredom. If I ever get to the finishing line, I'll be very glad to finish it.

Bangle Bag



My bangle bag was done quite some time ago, but I didn't get around to finishing it. Now finally the lining is completed. I think I could possible try a side pocket next time. These 2 pics are all I got. The rest of the pictures were so blur they gave me a headache just looking at them. This is the same color lining I'm using for the bamboo cluth. Though, I have a feelin I might redo the bamboo clutch to sort out some pattern problems.

Butterfly is looking good, but I understand what you mean about the boring part. Thanks for showing the inside of the bag. It helps me to see what should be done with the lining. I also know what you mean about bloglines. In an earlier fit, I deleted all my subscriptions. Now I have resumed bloglines subscription but it's less than 50. That makes it more manageable for me. And when I have time, I surf the other blogs. Have a happy, relaxed and blessed Christmas, Laura.

Same thought as Joy here, I definitely would love to read your posts. As for Bloglines, don't make it a chore, otherwise it would no longer be enjoyable.

Just mark everything as read when you are feeling too overwhelmed ... I don't blame you ... I felt like that too sometimes. I think we all understand. It's not a job ...
Your bag is so cute ... having lining is definitely important.

looking forward to seeing your blouse and jacket!

Great job on your bangle bag. The lining is so well done that at first glance i thought it was a two way bag.:)
As for the pressure about blogging, I feel it too. So we all should take it easier. I just hope you continue to post as I enjoy to read them!
