OH ME OH MY!!!!! Another month will be down!

I need to try the item that I picked out for the CIJ ornament swapand see if I can do it.

Also still have a few items to do for gifts. (dates have passed but... they know they are coming)

Need to see about the baby coming in June. A co-workers. Not sure when
the shower will be.

What would you like to do this week?

I still have quite a list and probably always will. This week, I'd really like to put primary focus on Easter and April birthday cards and gifts. I have CCS motifs and a couple recycled card fronts to use for the cards and fabric for placemats for one birthday. Also want to make some Easter egg holders (machine embroidery designs) for DGD as well as a machine embroidery prayer pocket for a friend.

The whole list!
*Craftermath Control (Keep at it!)
*Machine embroidery Easter egg holders (for DGD)
*Machine embroidery prayer pocket (for DFriend/Easter)
*Make April BD and Easter cards (8)
*Placemats (for DD-April BD)
*New knitting project (just been making dish cloths for now)
*Bear Paw king size quilt (piece blocks together)
*Easter chicken wall hanging
*February Fairy CCS motif
*Peaches CCS motif
*Schedule a time for machine embroidery with friend (I’m giving her my old embroidery machine)

Rudy Day projects:

• *Christmas cards
  *Christmas CCS motifs

I haven't posted for ages.
I have been preparing 14 drilldance costumes for the upcoming State and National Championships. it is really fiddly work and will need to put other craft projects aside until the costumes are done.

Got some wool today for a piano scarf for my cousin. It should be finished by Saturday but not sure it will happen since I have never done this and there is a pattern to follow.

Has anyone ever seen a styrofoam ornament? Not just a styrofoam ball, but one that already has the loop for the hook?
I've googled it, but only gotten just a plain round ball.

I have never seen one that I can recall---sorry!

Not me. Sorry.
​

Happy Rudy Day! I'm going to try to finish up some Christmas cards today.

Lowlias - I haven't either.

Crocheted a little at noon and will do more tonight. when the scarf is done I'll take a picture.

I was able to finish all the Christmas cards yesterday. Tried to make some machine embroidery ornaments, but they didn’t really work out. In the evening, I stitch a small Christmas CCS motif. That was all my Rudy Day crafting.

I might be able to get another row or two put together on the quilt today … and/or start on the placemats.

 

[Lana]

Lucie, can't wait to see the scarf.

DD, sorry the ornament didn't work out. Better luck next try!

Katrinia, how are the costumes coming along?

Lolwlias, any luck finding them?

 

[DahliaDoll]

Greetings!

I got all the rows of blocks sewn together for the quilt and put some borders on. I'll have several rounds of borders, but need to get a little more fabric today.

I finished a small CCS motif last night and had time to work on another CCS WIP.

No placemats yet.

Sunday here and my mum is coming over today and help me with the costumes, we have a dress rehearsal this coming Sunday so I need to have them done by then. I will post photos when they are done!!!

 

[Lolwlias]

I haven't found any yet, I will just have to add the hanging part myself. (I was trying to be lazy & save myself a step.) LOL
