Inspired by Alabama Chanin

For a few years now, I've been totally inspired and awed by the designs of Alabama Chanin. So when this little sewing chair unexpectedly entered my life, I decided to give it an update by doing some stitching:

A castle in progress...

OK, so this castle has been in the works (and in play) for about 2 years now... but this past week, it got an additions since a certain girl received additional residents on Christmas. Thankfully, Christmas also brought with it additional boxes (including klenex boxes it appears) and so an addition was possible... outside of addition, particularly the third floor, still needs finishing but all in all... not bad! :o) A little hard to see with that mess in the back... will post again when I get the addition finished...

That`s it for tonight...

Some handmade Christmas 2011

Note: Thanks to Attick 24 for this lovely pattern... I gifted a number of these this past Christmas and they were very well received... and I really love them as well. They're quite addictive to make and so great for using up little scraps of yarn that I just can't throw away!
