Pink Felted Slippers
This is my first attempt at felting slippers. I think they turned out fairly well. Not sure what my learning curve will be so that I can accurately predict the finished slipper size. The shoe length is just over 6 in. I think they will fit one of my younger nieces (my nieces ages range from 4 to 39, great nieces from newborn to 7). The pattern is Felted Slippers (toddler/child to women sizes) by Crystal Lybrink. The yarn is Plymouth Yarn Galway Worsted. I’ll add an anti-skid to the sole as I did with these non-felted slippers.

Farmer's Market Bag
I ran across a couple of skeins of cotton yarn in my stash and though they might make a nice market bag. The pattern (Farmers Market Bag by Kathryn Ashley-Wright) looked like a good one to use. My bag measures 13 in tall by 15 in wide though I have no doubt it will "stretch" and be deeper when used over time. The true color of the blue is darker than shows here. Here you can see the stitch detail . (Source: Suture for a Living)

Hat and Fingerless Mittens
I made these mittens mostly using some yarn given to me by a colleague's wife. The fiber content was unknown and a ran out just shy of finishing the second mitten. I guessed at the yarn (baby alpaca) and got close but not an exact match. The pattern is Fallberry Mitts by Anne Hanson. I then used the remainder of the purchased yarn to make this basic hat. The pattern is Regular Guy Beanie by Chuck Wright. (Source: Suture for a Living)

More Fabric Postcards
Here are more fabric postcards done this summer. This first one features an "orphan" rushed rose which didn't make it into a quilt. It measures 5 in x 7 in. I mailed it to my roommate from college. This one might have been improved using the shading techniques learned at the Drapplique workshop, but it works well as a redwork piece. It measures 5 in x 7.5 in. I mailed it to a longtime friend for her birthday. This one definitely could have been better using the techniques from the Drapplique workshop. I may have to try another version of it. It measure 7.5 i...

Drapplique Workshop and GAQS3
A couple of weeks ago a attended a daylong Drapplique workshop given by instructor Pam Holland. It was one of the workshops associated with the Great Arkansas Quilt Show 3. Had I known the techniques I learned, my quilt entry for the GAQS would have been a better quilt (assuming I had achieved some measure of skill with the techniques). Here is my small quilt from the workshop. It measures 11.75 in x 12.25 in. As you can tell from the roots in this photos I am currently better at coloring than drawing/shading in colors. I hope to improve with time and practice. I don't have good ...

Three Hats
As you may be able to tell from the post last week and today after finishing the pleasingly black shawl/scarf which took months to complete I have resorted to smaller projects finished in a short period of time. These three hats fit nicely. I used left-over Plymouth Yarn Baby Alpaca Grande. The first two hats are an adult size and an infant size beanie. The patterns are Regular Guy Beanie by Chuck Wright and Ali's Premie/Newborn Beanie by Tajie Maxedon. The pattern for this wide-brimmed hat is Brangelina Hat by Laurie Perry.

Non-felted Slippers for my Husband
These slippers were knitted for my husband using yarn that a colleague's wife gave to me (thinning her stash). The yarn is Plymouth Yarn Baby Alpaca Grande. The pattern for the slippers is Non-felted Slippers by Yuko Nakamura. And like I did for these slippers the bottoms were treated to make them skid resistant. (Source: Suture for a Living)

Labiaplasty Trending: This Surgery Helps Women Feel Sexier, More Confident
This cosmetic surgery procedure — which has grown by 44% over the last year* — has been reported by some of my patients as helping them to feel sexier and more self-confident. What is it? It’s labiaplasty (also called labioplasty), one of the most popular procedures that I perform. This surgery has increased in popularity by 44%.Over the past few years women of all ages have become more concerned with the appearance of their genital area. Most patients seeking labioplasty feel that they do not want hanging of the labia minora beyond the labia majora or outer lips. Others feel bulky in pants or a bathing suit to the p...
