progress has been made...

on several fronts! progress! that's all you can hope for most times, progress huh?
i am almost done with mom's belt, really. i know i've said that before but it only needs a few more inches as most of the length from the waist will be fringe so it should be done this week and a pattern for the belt posted on my patterns page. the sweater, the as yet un-named sweater is still not any more done than it was before, still sleeveless and dreaming of sleeves but i have purchased buttons and sashes. i love these tiny irridescent buttons. they are exactly what i was imagining when i went shopping for buttons. i love when that happens! and i love love love the turquoise lace sash. i think i love the lace too too much but i couldn't leave the stripe at the store so the stripe will be a belt with jeans or maybe with the teal wool sweater/jacket i have planned. hmmm waist length, single botton, embellished sleeves. i also have big plans for the fad classic i started, i love it's crochet like stitch, and i plan to make it a midriff length and add a mid thigh length silk skirt to it, to be worn over jeans. should be trendy and i have to keep up with the trends so no one guesses how old i am! ha! double ha ha! that would require a lot of hair dye and i'm not doing it! not never! i've come to love the texture of my hair without chemicals and anyway i earned this gray! and speaking of both youth and progress the guy bought a new bike and it is sweet! it is gorgeous! it sounds like thunder! more bike pics here. i think it will keep him young and take off some of the years that his illness and surgery added. and he likes it! hey mikey! he likes it! he's out taking it for a spin around the block as we speak! we only put 75 miles on it yesterday and we plan to do better today so we're off! later...love g
