Craft On: Stitch Along Inspired Designs
This design was sparked by some remarks in the SAL last year and inspired by designs I saw while in Saudi Arabia, and I'm hoping to have it ready to release before the SAL is over this year.
I'm also making Rich a little coffee press cozy for his coffee at work. The Margaret Tie-Top Tea Cosy is one of the delightful designs from my fellows designers. I love the construction she uses, and if you know me, you know I am a sucker for interesting construction.
Not much progress in Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge, but I am about two thirds of the way through Mrs. Pollifax and the Hong Kong Buddha. I did, indeed, finish The Fatal Unpleasantness at Netherfield last week. The author managed to keep most of her modernisms out, which is an improvement, but explained the Bingleys and Netherfield, as though the people reading this book weren't doing so because they already love Jane Austen stories, and then created three new sisters for Mr. Bingley. That is insupportable. The stories are still delightful, so I shake my head and roll my eyes a little at the author's ideas of what needs to be changed/added to these people and places and move along.
