Crafters Challenge Oct. 27th-Nov. 2nd

[Lana]

Notice the change of the month at the end of this weeks challenge!!!

I have finished the ends on all the scarfs that I have made. I need to make about 5 or 6 more I am thinking.

On my blog I just posted a picture of the scarf I did last night to wear on the 31st to work.

Friday night Allen and I cut all the 36 pieces for the quilt for Jaymee that I will TRY to do. Allen had maybe 8 or so cut. Was hoping to clean yesterday afternoon and sew last night but Jaymee came over yesterday about the time I got home and left about 6:30. So I just crocheted and finish several ends.

This week will be the quilt.

While she was here we ordered the material for a car seat tent to make.

What do you have planned this week?

Jampss, is it tulle? Sounds like a neat costume.

I also know that I will be spending a bunch of time at funeral homes this week as I know of three people that passed on in the past 24 hours. One a dear friends father, another friends 18 month old nephew, and an old neighbor son's 23 year old son was killed last night and completely devastating. I have known him for 14 years. Maranda want's to come home for this one

Ok think that will do it

KimD sorry about all your losses.

Finished 4 more christmas ornaments, did all my pockets made of ribbon to put chocolate in. Starting to work on my christmas cards.. prepping something special to add to my store-bought cards.

 

[Lana]

Kim, prayers for all the losses.

Lucie, WTG on the ornaments.

Kim, I have some cotton yarn also that I need to make up and move out or use.

Princess_Christmas, you have a busy week planned. How are you doing?

Last night I sat down and started sewing on the quilt for Jaymees shower. I have 1/2 of it sewn together. Then this a.m. I went in to iron my shirt for work and I sewed another fourth of it. It is 36 wedges and you sew 9 at a time and then 18 together. So maybe tonight I will get the top sewn and then to see about the bottom, circle and the edge. The edging is where I am not sure if I will do binding or I brought the giant ric rac--will see what I think I might be able to do! Fun sewing the wedges--so far!

Have to attend a benefit for one of my cousins today it was supposed to be to help pay medical bills for her fight against MS now it is to help pay for funeral she passed on Halloween

I have fallen off the crafting wagon at the moment, I have been trying to get all the crocheted rugs done before it gets too hot. I really need to get more serious though as I have so much stuff in my craft cupboard for all the projects I have in mind. If I am not going to find time I shall have to donate the goods to the charity shop.

I really want to make my mother a orange and clove wardrobe pomander, so I think I will do that next week, and I want to make DH and DB some chilli and garlic olive oil so will need to start that soon.
