So Many Crafts, So Little Time

I have so many things going at  the moment it's difficult to know which one I should be telling you about. I finished another skirt, a longer version this time.
These skirts have gotten me some nice publicity. As I told you, www.allfreesewing.com featured the other skirt in their newsletter last week. Well, I got the idea for that skirt from a couple of books I picked up in the local library so I told them about the skirt being featured. To make a long story short, the library asked me to have my picture taken tomorrow to be put in the local newspaper.

In the meantime, I've been working on making my apartment seem more like home. Nearly everything here has been either donated or given in some form or another. While it's been nice of everyone, I have ended up with an eclectic collection of everyone else' tastes. Trust me, I'm eclectic enough all on my own. In fact, one of the items I added to my kitchen last night was a small rug sewn from fabric strips and squares.

To make it I simply gathered all the bright fun fabric strips I could find and stitched them together. I then sandwiched some batting between the finished object and some plain green cotton. It goes well with some of the other changes I made such as putting my dishes out to display rather than keeping them hidden in the cupboards.

I'm still working on redecorating this area so I will post more pictures when it's all done. I will also post the "before" pictures up on my flicker account. When I am done I move on to the bathroom.
Over the next few days I will be working on some articles and ideas for a new website friends and I plan to unleash on the world soon. As soon as it's ready, you'll be the first to know.

In fact, if you're into crafts, and are a decent writer, please contact me. We're looking for people to create articles, how-to's and other informational content. In the near future you will also be able to sell your own creations on the site.
The interwebs feels slightly lonely right now. I do think I'm the only one hanging out in cyberspace while everyone else is watching the Superbowl. Please, don't tell anyone I'm not paying attention, I don't want to be kicked off the face of the earth! In fact, I'll go pretend I'm watching now.
