apologies to any real german speakers...
as i was making my latest project, this phrase kept running through my brain...so there it appears! i wanted a smock/apron/housework-dress-type-thing. i got inspired by this japanese magazine i ordered from superbuzzy (and love, by the way). so made up a little smock/apron/housework-dress-type-thing! one pocket left to sew on, and details need to be added to the pocket, but the whole motto behind the dress is: simplicity, enjoy the little details, take pride in the process. therefore, the hand stitching on the bodice, handsewn pockets, lace trim, etc etc...i love it and feel like i will be inspired in the house a bit more. i've already decided that when we have a house (which hopefully will be very soon!) i want a shoe-free home. so i will make little "house-shoes" (aka slippers) for all visitors to don when they arrive. chris actually loved the idea too! the slippers were inspired by this book here!
so...next project...to finish my t-shirt embellishment for the Project of the Month and then the doll quilt for the dollquilt swap! i'm very excited about this!! still time to sign up, folks!!! i am thinking about doing the pincushion challenge, but don't feel very inspired, yet! we'll see. i do have to make a baby shower gift, a bridal shower gift and finish my musicianship work for the walden course i've been working on for OVER a year now!!! yikes!!! i think that's enough work for right now.
so here is the hausfraukleid...
