Crafts "To Do" for this week:

( )Make more embellished notebooks

( )Make some more pincushions

( )Make more Christmas cards

***This weekend I have been very productive. I made 2 more notebooks and made 3 Christmas cards! Woo-Hoo!

 

[Winged One]

This week, I am concentrating on starting scarf #8 (which I will be knitting at home in the evenings), and keeping going on scarf #7 (I should have at least 2 lunch breaks to devote to it this week).

If the weekend goes ok, I may get a chance to start on some of the other crafts - like putting together a flower basket, and making a felt heart. Or maybe taking my stash of old Christmas cards and making gift tags from them. I am definitely not doing any sewing until Halloween week (we have a bank holiday on Monday 27th, and I have no french class that week, so I should have a few evenings to devote to it and DH won't mind the machine set up all week on the dining table if he can see progress).

 

[Lana]

Definitely angels in the evenings. Lunch time will be to organize (re-look) over gifts listed and baking ideals. Maybe stringing some pearls on pins.

 

[Pam Spaur]

most of DD's sewing is done.

To do:
6 draw string bags
1 stocking
maybe some x stitch bookmarks, just to have extras

That's about it for now till my back eases up.

:bigsnow:

 

[Dakotasmamaw]

Pam, Hope you are getting some help with your back.... I will keep you in my thoughts. :grouphug:

My list this week taken from my BIG list is:

Cut out material for 3 purses and 1 bag for girls at work
Get my fall and halloween stuff up, inside and out.
That means changing the bedding and curtains also.

 

[snowowl]

I finished my trial card and it looks good, now to start making more. This weeks list is all cards.

Make 5 cards (1 per day) :bigsnow:

KimD~when do you breathe? I feel so lazy seeing all that you are going to do!!! :rotflol:

:bigsnow:

 

[cmerth]

I didn't like how the new blanket was turning out so I unraveled it but....

I got everything else done-- son's blanket, homemade envelopes and my nephew's felts got cut out. I even started on a new knitted hat for my father in law and put the address labels on my Christmas cards.

I wish all my weeks could be this productive!!!

 

[KimD]

Pam if you notice my list is pretty much the same each week. But after football is over next week unless we make playoff's which looks like we will I will be working on crafting every free moment.

So far this week I really haven't had much time for crafting I do take Emma's blanket with me to practice but it has been raining all week so havent been able to work on it. I may get time tomorrow on the long ride to the game.

 

[Winged One]

I managed a couple of lunchtimes working on scarf#7 which was ok.

And I did find the wool for scarf #8 this morning (I thought it was out in the living room ready to use, but it was put "safely" away in the attic sometime in the past). So I can actually start that tonight.

(And though it doesn't count as progress exactly, I did find instructions for a few things, as well as new ideas with instructions, for a few other bits, to do as and when time allows - some toys, tote bags, tree decorations etc).

I just made one of the covers for the travel size kleenex packs. So EASY and cute. I am now thinking of adding them to my Christmas list for all the women and maybe for the co-workers too. I have GOBS of material to use for projects like that. I STILL HAVE TO DECIDE ON ALL THAT I AM DOING YET----BESIDES ADDING MORE!!!
