I've been in the Lao northern province of Luang Prabang this week celebrating PiMai, or the water festival, or Laotian New Year.
You read that right, week! It's a 3 day celebration, and includes New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and a day in-between they call "No Day". I don't quite understand that part, but it's a day not part of either year.
Before we ran off to Luang Prabang, I finished this cute little thread catcher as I mentioned with some simple geometry to calculate the last piece I needed to upsize the pattern.
So while it wasn't quite what I wanted elasticity-wise (it was a bit too long) it still folds down and works great!
I also started working on a mini I've had for ages. I've been so creatively stifled I think I need a quick finish to bring back my inspiration.
I'm making it out of Piecemakers by Moda, a cute little sewing print collection I picked up a few years ago.
I like to keep quick minis on hand to help me get rolling again. This Moda Candy book I picked up a few years ago along with some stash and I'm rolling!
The colors look a bit bland when you first crack it open, but pair it right....
And I think it will pop even more once I have the light binding on it.
