WIP: jasmine & a little maintenance

I'm feeling behind schedule with my projects. I completed my July projects on time and I am working on my project due in September. I don't know exactly what I'm doing for my September project, but have several ideas. I simply need to decide which to do. Two other projects are nudging me for attention. 

Deep breath. Ah... the jasmine plant in my studio is blooming still. What a wonderful scent.

While visiting with family, I came across two wonderful textile products. They are wonderful for completely different reasons. 






















This Snoopy and Woodstock stuffable nightgown pillow (circa 1970) was originally created with a plastic back (with a zipper in the back to slip a girl's “nightie” and other slumber party necessities). Not surprisingly, after 40-some years of wear, the plastic back is ripped. I really want to replace it with something more durable. Perhaps someone might use it for a few more decades.


By mistake, this tiny knit dress found its way home with me. It is beautiful. I don't know if it was purposely felted (it is very small; looks like it shrank) or if that happened in err, but the dress is intriguing. I must ask about the history of this one. I love the tiny button closure at each shoulder.
