Got the baby stuff done.

Started on the reader wrap for g'ma for Christmas. Had some done on it twice and ripped it out so on the 3rd attempt and my golly, I think it is a go. (As of now---but only on my 5th row--farther than the last 2 times tho.)
Hope to continue on it this week.

Take Care!

Woo - glad to be back! Why is it when I'm busy, the first thing to go is taking the time to sit down and get organized???

Actually, I did real good 'making' a list ... so that's a great task for me. I was inspired by everyone on here! Now, if I could just not lose steam and keep making stuff a little here and a little there!

Yes, when I'm busy, I just pile stuff all over the place and then when I'm ready to craft ... the craft area is messy! Then I organize eventually, but lose crafting time! :frown:

I had been working this week on the readers wrap for my grandma for Christmas. My granny died today---unexpected. My mom found her and she went in her sleep last night, so she was at peace.
