WIPs: These are for the Babies


Some WIPS currently being worrisome in my brain:
  • a roadtrip to plan (Arkansas+Tennessee-Nashville+Kentucky+the kids-my partner=yikes!)
  • a book proposal to finish, which is spiraling OUT OF CONTROL!!!
  • a timeline to draw on the basement walls--sort of like the roll of paper timeline, but on the walls
  • unit studies on Arkansas and Tennesse and Kentucky (and Elvis) to create
  • children's swim lessons to schedule
  • etsy products to list
  • Crafting a Green World posts to write in advance of beforementioned road trip
  • laundry to do
  • etc., etc., etc.
However, I've put much of that aside for the short term to focus on a project that's been on my to-do list since the last Goodwill 50%-off Storewide Sale:



T-shirts I'm transforming into bags for Barefoot Kids include Velvet Revolver, Wolverine--


--and Jimmy Hendrix, hell YEAH:


I've decided to use my jersey knit binding method for the neckline hem on ALL the bags, now, because I think it looks terrific in the same pattern that I use for the contrasting sleeves, and no, I canNOT get Electric Ladyland out of my head while I'm sewing.

P.S. Want to follow along with my craft projects, books I'm reading, road trips to weird old cemeteries, looming mid-life crisis, and other various adventures on the daily? Find me on my Craft Knife Facebook page!

Check out Dinosaur World in Cave city, KY. You can see it from the exit off of I-65. And also, check out McKays Used Books, off of Charlotte Ave in Nashville.
