jampss ~ You have quite a list there. Good luck with it.

I got the quilt top completely put together yesterday ink:. It turned out much larger than I expected. She will be able to use it in college. :rotflol: Just need to take it to the lady who does my quilting for me now.

My kids are home from school today, so I will get some help with the cleaning. Then hopefully take some time to craft this afternoon/evening.

Jackie ~~~ Well, it's a list ... but if I really do it all ... that's another story ... it's all my UFO, too. We'll see.

Quilting sounds fun! Have fun with it. I've only done a quilted pillow top ... years ago. I did like doing it, but haven't ever done anything bigger.

Finished a doll dress today. They are calling for some snow tonight. I have the house all cleaned up. Would be nice to kick back and craft tomorrow. :bigsnow:

jampss ~ My "quilting" is very plain. I have never tried anything very complicated. It scares me. Good luck with the list. :grin:

Not sure how much if anything will get done this week. I have alot of hours at work, am so sick and to top it all off we got dumped 5ft of snow within 24 hours. Not really too bad but all at once was crazy. Thank god for 4 wheel drive because I would have not got to work with out it yesturday.

[]moms cross stitch
[] get felt to make sucker covers
[] start sucker covers
[] make new cushion for Marandas vanity seat

Ok think that will do it for this week

 

[johnasmom]

I'm a little late but I'm in for this challenge.

Part One-That's pretty much done. I spent the last couple of weeks getting everything sorted and stored.

Part Two-I am rounding up the supplies for vinyl siding birdhouses and making the pattern for my DH to start cutting.

Part Three-My ongoing project for me is getting my pictures from years-past all scrapped and in the books. I'll be working on organizing 2005 this week so I can get scrapping on them! :applause:

 

[jackfrosty]

I sorted my things for this week into 'kits' and spent about 1/2 hour on my mitten hanger. Keep up the good work everyone!

 

[Twinkle]

OK I got pics copied and will get mailed tommorrow :grin:

This weekend I bought fleece to make 8 no sew blankets (2 kids & 6 adults) alot more than I previously planned :slap: Last year I bought material in Jan for 4 blankets and did them all in Nov/Dec. so my goal this year is going to be doing one a month starting in Feb.


( ) Gather materials for making Christmas Cards
( ) Gather materials for Teacher Thank you cards
( ) Buy new blade for fabric cutter

Kim ~ It seems so funny to me that 5ft of snow and people are out and about. That much here and the world would come to a screeching halt :haha: A couple of inches and they cancel school :rotflol:

Finished a doll dress today and cut out a couple of outfits for my goose. Also put out some Valentine decos. Will probably have to take 2 of my kids to the dr tomorrow. So will probably get some crocheting done there.

Kim-it could be worse. You could be living in Newfoundland Canada where they get that much in 24 hours a few times every winter. There have been times when they have gotten hit twice with that amount in less than a week.

 

[KimD]

Jackie side roads are still a mess but main roads are great. The DPW roof colapsed during the snow storm with some of thier equipment in it. Mainly garbage trucks since snow plows were out. I live in a snow belt so we are used to it.

Rose we do too most winters but this is the first real snow fall for us this year. The other time we got snow it was only a couple of feet this year.

Well I haven't got any crafting done, between working and fighting this bug off.
