Hooray for free time!

Hello everyone!

I'm on the tail end of a two week break from school, and I've gotta say, as stressed out as I was by the end of the semester, I sure do miss it! BUT, these two weeks have allowed me to be very productive! I have made two dresses, got started on a few knitting projects, and opened up a new etsy shop. That's right! I'm selling dresses now!

So far, there are only three dresses in the shop, but I have three more cut out to be sewn up, as well as a dress for me (selfish sewing rocks).

The two dresses I made over the break (so far anyway) are these pretties:

They're simple sundresses of my own design, that are very much a style that I like to wear myself. In fact, I'll be making myself a couple of these very soon :)

I have a few more ideas that I'm working on right now, so stay tuned for something new within the next few weeks :D

Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I have signed up for a couple of classes over the summer (well, they are only in May and June, so I'll still get a bit of a break before the next semester starts), so I'll have a little less free time as of next week. But that's fine by me, as there will still be time to sew! Which is good, as I have four weddings to attend this year, and I need to get started on dresses to wear!

The first wedding is a more laid back backyard party, but I still want to have something pretty to wear. I've narrowed down my choices to five different fabrics from my stash, but I need your help deciding which one to use. So please, dear readers, help me choose which fabric to use. The pieces I've picked  out are:

Red and Black Poppy type fabric

Roses fabric (pardon the blurriness of the pic)

Skulls and Roses fabric

Black, White, and Blue Hibiscus fabric

Lobster fabric (just for fun)

Please let me know what you think in the poll below. 

I can't wait to see what you choose!

BRAAAAAINSSSSS

I really haven't had a lot of time to sew lately, with the exception of school stuff, but I do knit when I get the odd chance. One of the things I've recently finished is this awesome Zombie Cowl.

Remember a while back when I spun up the fluffy, fluffy brains yarn? Well, it finally jumped onto my needles and ended up as a crazy awesome scarf.

As much as I am in love with this one of a kind creation, I've decided that it's going into my shop. I have lots of scarves as it is, and I figure someone out there will love it way more than I ever will. Perhaps they would appreciate is as a Giftmas present?

I think it's perfect for all the zombie lovers out there!

Procrastination

School has had me crazy busy, and to be honest, I'm getting a little burnt out. And do you know what happens when I start to get burnt out? I procrastinate. BIG TIME. And today, that happened. Want to see what I did instead of homework?

I made a few circle scarves....AND got them photographed! (That's a feat in itself!)

I also pulled out some OOAK yarn I spun a while back and started knitting an awesome OOAK scarf....will post about that when it's finished.

I've kept one of the scarves I made today for myself (I made many), but the rest have all been sent to my etsy shop to seek new homes. I have the feeling I'll be making many more of these though. They're super quick and addictive to make!

What do you do when you procrastinate?
