A winner, a finish and a new direction

First off, I forgot to draw a winner for my hand warmer/sachet yesterday. Here it is now:

The winner is Gwendellyn who loves eucalyptus (the King of all fragrances). I will get that to you in the mail as soon as possible. Congratulations!

I got some work done yesterday. I finally finished up the three  tablet covers that I had been working on for the last few weeks. The first two that I made worked up pretty fast and these three were hanging around for a little while - assembly line doesn't work well for me. Eh! You live and you learn. I have four more that I need to work on - a project for another day.

Three pretty tablet covers all in a row.

Simply Style and Road 15 (I love my little labels, too)

Geekly Chic tablet cover - MINE!!!

New direction refers to Barbie clothes. We are having a bit of a Barbie obsession in my house these days. I talked about my Barbie roll idea in my last post and I have since moved on to think about Barbie clothes. My mother bought my daughter five  Barbies at our flea market but they didn't come with any clothes. I started a teeny sweater last night with some sock yarn and thought I could make some black leggings out of an old t-shirt but I think a trip to the fabric store is in order. Now, I have never made a wearable garment. I have bought a few patterns, but I haven't been ambitious enough to try to make them yet (I'm thinking about it, though). I think constructing a Barbie outfit is the same as making person sized outfit... hmm... I'll have to keep you updated.

Linking up to Needle and Thread Thursday. Go make something!

And we have a winner...and stuck in the funk

Thank you to all who commented on my blog and entered to win the Comma charm pack. Mr. Random drew number 82 - Cloud 9. I have informed her and she will receive her prize later this week.

I had so much fun both doing the hop and the giveaway that I'm planning my next one. I hope that you will all come back and enter.

There were so many lovely comments about my April Showers mug rug that I'm feeling a little mug rug let down now. I have a few projects working, but I'm feeling a little less than inspired. Work is a little bit stressful, my pretty princess has been sick, we got a new (giant) puppy and sewing has not been something that I've wanted to do. I kinda wanna do this: 

giant arm knitting - doesn't this look amazing?

I started knitting some socks - something I usually love to do, but I hadn't made socks in a while and kinda forgot how. The second one will be much better.

Do any of you ever get the sewing blahs? What do you do to get out of your funk?

Sew uninspired.
