[Lana]

Well, can you believe that the magical month is here again!!!

Only 3 week-ends left (and 1 payday) before Christmas.

I have a few scarfs to do has gifts and some ornaments to work on.

Vanilla is still getting shook so will have to get some bottles for it.

Also hoping to do Jaymees stocking yet.

Made 74 reindeer feed yesterday and did forget 1 so have to do it. Have maybe about half delivered.

What do you all have on the list to do yet?

jampss, you have accomplished a lot this year so far!

I picked up two pieces of Thanksgiving/Fall fabric for aprons. Nothing very cute for Fall in the store but I grabbed them. Went to Han**** and JoAnns.

Picked up fabric for DD's sewing class. Not sure they will work so I asked for someone to call me about making adjustments to class fabric. The class is for a baby's changing pad. It uses cool waterproof baby fabric and wicking fabric ($12 plus a yard). We do not care if it is waterproof material since DD is making it to brush Twillow on. No one in the store knew much about the class and they didn't have a sample out on display. By the looks of it in the picture (2 inches square) it's just two square pieces of fabric with a zipper on one side and probably with the wicking fabric inside. So I think almost any material will do but it will need something inside to keep its shape. By the materials list I think fleece will work for the outside since they say to buy baby fleece. Hopefully someone will call before the class.

Stopped by Red Lobster for take out on the way home. The bartender is getting to know us. Will have to stop stopping there!

My laptop decided to die a couple of weeks ago and I very rarely get on the desk top anymore so I haven't been on since. Lana we have made a bunch of the same scarfs. I had to get 4 of them done last night for Randa to take back to school for her roommates as Christmas presents. Have quite a few more to do before Christmas also. My SIL went nuts with the ones she wants me to make her. Plus more fleece blankets not sure how many but getting ready to get my dad's done so he doesn't see it.

My brother and myself are really on my mom about buying that embroidery machine. He is getting so much business with the vinyl and screen printing he really wants it. I went and just priced Kenny's letterman jacket. $179 for jacket $55 to put school and two teams on back another $6 for his name then $10 to sew letter on but mom has same commercial machine they do so will do that myself. Even with my 15% sport's team card which will only be off jacket its way too much.

Ok lets see this week I will be working on:
mom's christmas geo mesh wreath
ruffle scarf's
fleece blankets
fleece scarfs (have to still get blue and white sequin material first)
snowman oranaments
if I have my little miss we need to send a package of grinch poop out to Maranda her idea

Gosh

jampss, you have accomplished a lot this year so far!

Gosh. Thanks. But I feel like I haven't. Wanted to do more. Cut things off the list. Didn't start in enough time ... wasn't feeling crafty for awhile. No particular reason ... just didn't look at my list or think about crocheting. Ah, well, a season for all things ... :rudolph:

 

[jampss]

Funny

Ok lets see this week I will be working on:
need to send a package of grinch poop out to Maranda her idea

Funny! LOL .... is it .... green???

Kim, was wondering where you were!?! Thought you were crafted under, lol--sounds like you are.

Jampss, I know I do this weekly thread and then every year in January I think okay I know some items so no problem it is cold and I can start on stuff and be done EARLY----But things are always marked off mine too! Time just goes so fast!

Hey everyone!

This week I am trying to clean up my sewing space and inventory and put away items left from my craft show. I had a lot of orders from the weekend for monogrammed infinity scarves, so I am working on getting those finished today and tomorrow.

Tomorrow I have my knitting group. I am finishing a hat, but I don't know just how to bind it off correctly, so I will wait for some help. I have another hat pattern that I would like to start, I ordered it as a kit a few weeks ago.

Have a great week!

Just need to make the garlic and chilli oil on Thursday and that is me winding up for the year.

 

[Lana]

Carol, glad you had a good show. I love the items that you show. They are so pretty and items that get good use. Even tho the tea towels are to pretty to use!

Katrina, time for me to add things (some I will do yet) to a new 2014 list!

Jumpss it's green M&M's is what we use I think green tic tac's also. There is a poem for it that I have to refind. We made them for my brothers last year and my niece then 4 wrote out the poem, she is going to for Randa too that is a gift in it's self to Randa. My niece actually sends her something every week a card, letter, or picture because she misses her.

Lana haven't really been doing too much working on scarfs, did get one fleece blanket done waiting to see if I have to get three more done for my brother's girlfriends girls

 

[sweetpumkinpye]

Garlic and chilli oil is done and I think it will turn out well. It will be great with pasta.
I am starting to write my to do list for the new year, there is so much I want to do, and Pinterest does not help at all. First thing I will have to do in the new year is go threw the craft cupboard and see what UFO's I have and work from there.

 

[Lana]

I just noticed I didn't spell December right for this weeks thread.

Katrina, yeah, pinterest is and ISN'T a help! lol!

I have to finish a few ornaments to hand out with cards.
