 {for S}

Have you ever sewn with knit fabric? I have had, but such a failure when I did.  A few months back, I was in local fabric store and found the blue floral print on sale {$5 at the time}. I though I could get a yard to try while I was in the store, but the bolt was put back after walking around the store. A few days ago, I went back to the store and the same bolt of fabric was in the 50% off section {$2.50}. I took the bolt and took them home with me. It is knit fabric and I am still not sure if I'll be able to make something cool, but it would be great to try something new. The fabric has been washed and tumble dry and not much shrinkage on the print. The print is soft and comes with great texture and the colors are just great for skirts, dresses, or tops.

The single girl quilt arrived earlier this week. The edges are trimmed and still thinking about the binding fabric. It will be a nice weekending project for me. The quilting is really sweet! more on that later ..

As you can see that our plants have left our home to a new family. It was sad to see them go, but sure they will be happier to be in a larger home. S has started to pack her books. Her packing style is really fun. She is being careful to pack her books, so she will know when we settle again. She is packing slowly, so she can enjoy books that she always loves to read and always ask where is the book came from, who bought the book for her, and when was the first time she read the book..

The knitting project didn't go so well; too many mistakes. I wish to have a knitter friend live close by, so she can help me to make a nice scarf and I can make her some yummy cakes in return. 

The weekending posts will be randomly being post for now. As the weather gotten warm that S likes to be out and about more. For next few weekends, she is having many music recitals to attend.  I hope not to disappoint you without regular weekending posts.
