Fun after dark

When the sun shows it self like it did this weekend, there isn't much of a draw for me to be in the house, until after dark. This weekend when the sun went down(&kids went too) I went up to my machine and worked on a few projects. The first two is a blanket that I found at http://www.alewivesfabrics.com/ such easy directions for a throw blanket and the fabric is so lively it will look and feel great anywhere. The second project with the burlap was inspired from  http://mayamade.blogspot.com/  It is the the burlap scrubbie, which I lined with the left over wool batting from the blanket, so not only does it have great texture for scrubbing counters, pots, & dishes, it is spongy too. After it is all used up I won't feel anything but joyful to toss it in the compost bin! So when the sun goes down or when I need a break from those bright rays of sun, I love to go upstairs to that singer and get sewing.
