I’m usually pretty superstitious about sharing works in progress. Mostly because I’m never totally confident that things will get done to my satisfaction, if at all. But it is time to spill the beans on the most ambitious project I’ve ever attempted:

In case you aren’t quite sure what you’re seeing there, I’m in the process of making an actual human being! That picture was from very early on. By current estimates, it should be done the first week of March sometime, and we find out what variety of human being it is this week! Moondoggie and I are super excited, for all obvious reasons. And of course I’m also excited for crafty reasons (explaining, if you were wondering, the rash of softies around here, and the lack of wardrobe refashions, though I do plan to make myself some skirts with jersey waistbands).
So that’s my big news! Around here there will, of course, be continued crafty items for small people, like Peanut (after Hillary Lang’s pattern in Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts)

but I haven’t forgotten about new tutorials and other goodies for those of you not necessarily into baby crafts. I’ll be doing a sewing workshop at the SF Bazaar Bizarre in December, and I’m participating in a couple other fun holiday craft projects that I’ll let you know about as they come up!
