Backtack III teaser

       
I am embarrassingly behind with everything in my life right now: housework, e-mail, sewing, reading, washing, (take your pick) - and it's after 2 am Friday night, but I just wanted to finally post a couple of teaser shots of the Backtack III Softie that I made for Eireann. About time, I know. Without giving too much away, the accent color is red as you can see, and I used a pattern that I bought in Sweden about 17 years ago (!). There was more  handsewing than I bargained for, but I really like the way it turned out. That's all I can say now, until it arrives safely in the U.S.

This week at the new job was a little better, but I still feel like I've been putting out a lot of little fires the whole time. And this weekend has to be better than the last 2- I mean a 3rd weekend with a 48 hour migraine just cannot be. And for once, this Saturday there is no school, no karate, and no homework- woohoo! So I plan to read, sleep, do something creative, and maybe even squeeze in a little housework (yuk)!

Wow. I LOVE discovering kindred spirits on the web. Your blog is terrific! And the fabric postcards are wonderful. Pat

Can't wait to see a whole picture of the softie !

I say skip the housework (or just clean the bathrooms, once those are clean the rest of the house feels clean too) and get some serious rest and relaxation in - you deserve it !

I have to say, it's looking pretty good, I love the retro flower.
