BASKET IN PROGRESS, et al

Here is my basket in progress...I am struggling with needleturn...;000
I need to push that handle down under more...and try to relax as I go...

My previous post featured a screenshot of Jan Patek's finished block--
                        [See those lovely nails..certainly not mine!! ]

                              Here is her beautiful finish...
                                      "Look Ma--no lumps or bumps"  
                                                Don't I wish.....

Meanwhile, I much prefer the starch and press method so far.....
more time spent prepping, but a breeze to sit and sew....at least 
for me...

I've finished Autumn Dresden...............

                                                     Here it is on our cocktail table....
                                          With a collection of little candles to warm us up..

*********************************************
This morning I have my 6 month 👀 exam...maybe my headaches are
related to my glasses?  We'll find out....

************************Then............
Tonight's dinner will be my crock pot Beef Stew along with the other half of my No Knead bread that I had frozen... a nice comforting dinner on yet
another gray rainy day....

TGIF everyone...hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse (testing-euse)
