...I do amuse myself sometimes. 🐑✨
Do you use old containers to store things?
Hand holding a plastic Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups container. Fluffy balls of dark brown combed wool are visible through the clear plastic and stick over the top of the container. Top view of the wool. Each ball is chocolate covered hand-combed wool that looks very fluffy to touch.

Navajo Churro tog and þel 🐑✨
What type of yarn should I make with this hand-combed top?
Four balls of raw wool held in a hand. The left 2 are light colored and look coarser. The right 2 are a darker brown and look softer to touch.

I've since finished this red skirt but don't have good pictures. I love the blue cotton I used to line the bottom hem 🌹💙🍒
A red spool of thread and golden rmbroidery needles sit atop a blue floral fabric. The fabric has splashes of red, which matches the solid red linen in the background. A floral blue fabric is bring hemmed by an antique sewing machine. The machine's presser foot is a specialty vintage hemming foot.

Somehow this was my first pair of socks after knitting so many years? My next pair will be toe-up.
I...learned a lot with these 🫠
A hand with purple fingernails holds a single sock in cream yarn with hints of blue and yellow. The sock is almost finished, with double pointed needles still at the toe. A hand holds a sock near the heel. It's still on the needles by the toe. It's knitted in cream with hints of blue and yellow.

I recently went to my first sheep shearing at Stoney Mountain Farm and brought home a Navajo Churro fleece 🥹💕

Im slowwwly scouring it one bucket at a time (gotta love apartment livin'!).
A hand lifts locks of chocolate Navajo Churro fibers. Long staples of Navajo Churro fibers lie next to one another against a white mesh fabric. The picture is taken outside in daylight. Dappled sunshine falls on locks of Navajo Churro fiber spread across mesh fabric to dry. A hand holds a single Navajo Churro lock. More can be seen drying in the sun in the background.

This is a part of a test for the most important garment I'm planning to make 👀

I'm obsessed with smocking...
White cotton voile fabric finely pleated and smocked with a cream-colored embroidery thread. The embroidery featured a few rows of horizontal lines and diamond shapes.

I'm new to embroidery but enjoyed adding it to a short I was making. Also a sketch I made of my idea before beginning the project.
An embroidery hoop sits on my knee. Stretched across it is a purple cotton twill with branches and leaves embroidered in white wool yarn. A segment of a sketchbook page featuring sketches and written words. The sketches picture curving branches ending in elegant leaf shapes. The visible text reads "Blocks of space...filled with free...based on this"

My cousin made my this beautiful lucet! Here I'm making a chord out of cobweb-weight wool for a shirt (the embroidered fabric).
A darker-stained wooden lucet has a chord of wool coming from it. It sits atop a purple cotton twill with white embroidery in the same wool.

Some beauty shots of the 1912 Singer sewing machine I fixed up. I still need to find a name that sticks....
The full sewing machine body is pictured. It is one elegant piece of cast iron with golden filigree and silver-colored metal accents. Close up of the front plate of the sewing machine, which is a solid piece of ornately carved silver metal. It features a floral design. Close up view of the sewing machine's hand crank wheel and the leather drive band that connects to it. The sewing machine is black with golden filigree. Detail shot of the golden filigree adoring the black cast iron body of the sewing machine. The design is Art Deco featuring an Egyptian-inspired sphinx.

Merino and mohair fingerless gloves in the making ✨
As I'm new to Blue Sky, I'm probably going to post a few older things so it's not so empty!
