Long time, no sew!

I haven't been sewing much lately, but that trend is about to stop. I have several projects I need to work on. Last week, I hosted sewing night, and Becca, Christa, and I repaired a beautiful old rug she got from her grandmother's house. Here we are with it:

I am disturbed by how bad I look in this photos, but the rug looks great. It looks even better in Christa's family room, which is getting a new coat of paint. It's a really awesome rug.

Here's what's coming up soon here at Brandie, In Stitches:

• two aprons (one for Thea, one for Vanessa)
• curtains for my kitchen
• a matching drape for around the craft/puzzle/games cart in my kitchen
• curtains for the master bedroom
• a tote bag of sorts for me

I can't promise when these things will be done, but I'm getting there! Also, I'm going to add my knitting to the blog. It's a type of stitching, right?
