We still have workers in our loft, and I've been too embarrassed to take photos of myself while they're here - lol. It was stormy and overcast yesterday, so taking photos outside wasn't an option, but maybe today when Mr. Not-in-Pajamas and I go to lunch I'll take the camera along and show you what I'm wearing. For now though, I'd like to share with you a project I've been working on. It's a tea towel made from deconstructed t-shirts that I bought at a thrift store - it's a green project! I got the instructions for this project from the
wonderful book by Natalie Chanin, Alabama Stitch Book. Check out
her wonderful site here - there's even
a kit to make tea towels similar to the ones I made.
Here's the finished piece:

And here is the next towel I'm creating - same stencil, just different colors. After this I think I may try creating a shawl or a skirt.
