Laurie had a vision for a portfolio case for one of her current archetecture projects. I love to sew and have a ton of patience for figuring out new sewing projects. So, I offered to make these three for her. We're both quite infatuated with them. Unfortunately, we figured out that we needed to have cut out a bigger sized flap to cover the entire top opening, but it's okay as is. It's for looks, not for function, so maybe the judges of the project will think it's intentional.
I finished knitting these tonight. My mother bought the wool yarn in Santa Fe at least four years ago and just this year did I get around to using it. I'm deeply in love with them! Bring it on, winter!
This is the strangest sock monkey I've ever seen. I came across this because my coworker knows someone who knows one of the roller girls, (and I'm freaking out like a 12 year old on Jolt cola,) we've been talking about since Saturday night's bout. The one and only, Cupcake makes these creations. 
Kevin Hayes of Lovely MPLS was showing at the art crawl last weekend. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw his poster that was sewn. There are stitches in the hand made poster. There were many of these. Kevin's posters and art are incredible.
