Hi All!

Turns out the little sweater I made for DGD fits perfectly. She tells me the leprechauns keep unbuttoning it though. I guess when we go visit her in June, I will need to stitch the buttonholes up a little bit tighter.

This week’s challenge:

• *Craftermath Control
  *Christmas CCS motifs
  *Machine embroidery design for Mother’s Day card
  *Finish Mother’s Day cards
  *Recipe pot holders (hoping to finish as Mother’s Day gifts to DSisILs ... 2 are done, but I need 2 more)
  *Bear Paw pillow shams (start hand quilting)
  *Bear Paw king size quilt (sandwich and start hand quilting)
  *Knit red doily (round dish cloth pattern … want to make at least one more)
  *Knit socks for DSonIL

Good to see posters!!!!!

Yesterday I hemmed the 3 t-shirts for my bosses hubby and 1 pair of shorts.

I sewed and turned 6 wash cloths and 2 burp rags. Will have to iron and then close and top stitch them. Will do her 7 of each---I think.

Need to work on 2 washer necklaces and get them sent out for later in the month birthdays.

Got a post up of my mixed-media art. I think I might do that on the last painting I did and do not like.. hummmm...

Last night I finished the 7 washcloths and 7 burp rags for the shower that is May 9th. This a.m. I have the pages sewn together for a cloth book for it also. I just have to top stitch them and put the 3 pages together.

Hoping to finish that up tonight.

Lucie, will have to check it out.

Lucie, that is pretty neat looking. Love the colors. Tried leaving you a message but Google asked for permission to send me a text or call me so didn't sign on.

Hi All!

Lucie ~ Very nice work! That looks like it would be very fun to do.

Got the RV all cleaned at the lake, packed up and headed home. I did some CCS this morning while at the lake and then knit a dish cloth in the car on the way home.

 

[luludou]

Thanks! Lana don't know why Google did that

Been working on assembling my felt popsicles. Doing the hand-embroidery to close the sides.

I did 3 pee pee tepees last night and finished the cloth book. The book pages are a smidgen off but.......

DD, that sounds so nice to be by a lake and crafting!!!! A lot of people like beaches but I would take a lake, wood setting anytime!

 

[DahliaDoll]

Lana ~ Unfortunately our lake place is not in the woods. We are going on an RV "camping" trip (I struggle calling our travel trailer "camping" but we sure love it) on the beach in a woodsey setting for a week after Mother's Day.

Well, it's on Facebook, so I guess I can announce that DD#1 is PG! Baby due in November. So I'm brainstorming an idea for an Advent project for new baby. I made a set of Advent pockets for DGD, and I give her one more pocket every Christmas. At some point, I'll probably just give her "the rest", but for now it's something for her to look forward to every year. So I want to continue the tradition with the new baby. All of DGDs are done, so I just have to give it to her each year, not worry about making the next one.

I've got two recipe potholders ready to finish the binding on, then they will be ready to mail for Mother's Day gifts for DBro and Sis ILs.

DJ-Congratulations on the new grandbaby!! And yes that counts as camping-LOL...

 

[Lana]

Congrats on the grandbaby coming!!!!!!!

The camping sounds really nice. Nice to see and hear the water.

You have all been incredibly busy. I am sad to say that I have done no crafty at all for the past few weeks.
Will get together with my mum on Tuesday and make a list of what needs to be done and get moving.
Christmas will not wait for me to be ready!!!!
