I did get some sewing done! One pocket hoop. The other one will be done tomorrow.

I also ordered a nice pair of pinking shears. We'll see how well they work when they get here. The cut should work for 18th c - it's not a sawtooth but sort of a wavy scalloped look. And it's for fabric, not paper.

Of course not! I wouldn't have posted 'em if I didn't want others to get 'em. ;-)

I'm still here! Sorry if I haven't commented of late, I've been trying to comment more but haven't always been succeeding...

The pocket hoop looks great! I'm so lazy I bought mine. ;P

Lol! I saw some on fanplus today and considered buying mine as well. I was just scared it wouldn't get here in time - plus I have 4 yards of hoop boning that needs to be used.

Yes ma'am! Lol! The other one should be done tomorrow and I *should* be able to start the mock up...I think.

Yay, pocket hoops!

Just before I came to LJ, I was looking at a pair of scalloped pinking shears, for fabric, on eBay, and trying to determine if I needed them or not. And then I come here, and here's a post in which someone has just bought some! I feel like this might be a sign that I should go back and get them. ;)

Or you can go to Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013OCNYS/ref=ox_ya_os_product) where it might be cheaper...

Thank you on both counts!

Yay pocket hoop! When the other one's done you have to stick something silly in it for a picture. ;)

Also, thanks, now I remembered I wanted non-sawtooth shears myself! More money to spend! :D *trots off to ebay*

I tried ebay and...their selection was not fun. So, I went to amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013OCNYS/ref=ox_ya_os_product) which is the Wally World of the internet, and found a pair I like.

Hmm...does putting the cat in the pocket hoops count as something silly?...I wonder if he'll let me....

Oooh, I see not one, but TWO pairs I like! And not a bad price either. Now we'll all have the same wavy scallops instead of the same zig-zag! Yep, think I needs to own those.

If at all possible, doooo iiit! Kitty in da hoops! If mine fit I'd try it...but he's far too large, sadly. He sits ON them, though...

I'm reading lj! I'm behind because I'm traveling right now (Mike and I are in Williamsburg/Richmond right now, stopping on the way back from Durham).

Looks great! On to the second one--I hate two part projects like mittens, socks, etc. I never want to do the second one.

The second one is done! Yay!

Awesome! Congrats on beating "second mitten syndrome"!

*waves hi*

Oh those scissors are neat - I think I might have to splurge... :>

The good thing is that they aren't anymore than a normal pair of good sewing scissors. There are a couple of other designs but I likes this one. :-)

Awesome shears! I'm definitely getting a pair of those.

And yay for pocket hoops!

There are a couple of other designs, but I liked those the best. :-) Plus, they aren't a whole heck of a lot of money.
