Snippets
My shoulders are doing better, so I've slowly been working some knitting time in and managed to finish a hat that I've been working on since October. Crazy. But I don't have pictures of it yet.
But I do have sewing to show you. With the sewing the FOs are fewer and farther between, so it seems like all I show you are snippets of things being worked on. And here is just such a snippet. Sewing these letters is pretty fun individually but I'm having some major issues sewing them all together. Maybe its the fact that my spacers are really thin, but my machine just won't stitch a quarter inch seam on them. It keeps running the seam closer and closer to the edge. My mom suggested putting a piece of paper under them and sewing through both layers of fabric and the paper and that helped but definitely did not eliminate the problem. Ugh. Well, I'm doing a set of numbers next and plan on making the spacers bigger so maybe that will help. Cuz I'm out of ideas. Any thoughts?
There's not much major on the calendar for this weekend, which is a nice change of pace and perfect timing since I'm feeling exhausted. So I plan to rest and catch up on stuff around the apartment. But I'm sure I'll work some crafting in there at some point. On and if you can see it, please, please don't judge me by the hideous state of my kitchen. I'll get to cleaning it eventually. Promise.

Who is this for?
I'll give you a hint:
I'm still having problems with my rotator cuffs (yes, plural), so no knitting. But I am sewing; slowly plugging along on the back log of baby quilts/projects.
