I want to do crafts then either get sidetracked but mainly waste time finding items I need- so this week is about organizing- want to get kits together for the remainder of crafts or at least the stuff all together so I don't have to go on scavenger hunt to find items when ready to work on them.

Here are projects and items I want to get together:
(2) no sew blankets- (need new blade, cutter, scissors, ruler, cutting mat, tape, material)
Cinnamon Ornaments (cinnamon, applesauce, glue, cookie cutters)
Iris fold cards (template, cardstock, paper, pens, scissors, glue, tape)
Calendars (list of pics, pics, list of important dates, paper)
Perfect Man Cookies- (buy gingerbread cookies, label, ribbon)

I took the stuff to make my nieces hair thing to ds's football practice last night, I decided to make dd's wider so I made two of them and two other girls on thier squad were their since their brothers play on the team they cheer for and wanted them so now I have to make two more for Kayla and Kali which I will do tonight at practice so they can have them to wear at the Varsity game that they are helping cheer for Friday night.

I have to get my house cleaned today and hopefully after that I have some time to get at least the last blanket finished.

I have lost a container of small safety pins that I had put small pearls on for angels so that is putting a hold on my 12 items for the 12 days of Christmas. Searched and asked at work (work on it at lunch) looked thru out my car?????? Will just make more. UGH!!!!!

Off today and was hoping to craft some BUT as we all know can get side tracked. I have 3 cakes done, 2 loaves of pineapple zucchini bread in oven and some brownies. Will have to do either 2 more loaves of bread or bars with the rest. Will have to cook tom. nite also for a couple of things going on Saturday night. My great aunt is involved in a fund raiser tom. and she always does alot for everyone so will take 2 cakes there and a loaf of bread and then the brownies will be a chocolate trifle for work, a cake and loaf of bread for home.

Think I will do chicken and dumplings for supper with some fresh green beans. (picked 20 gallons on Sat.) Maybe a loaf of bread if I can find instructions for it. It was my grandmas and no book with it so will try web site.


SORRY THIS IS A CRAFT SITE!

Fluttering happily in the clouds!!
I am mainly working on my knitting gifts these days - I have just (at lunchtime) finished a scarf for an aunt, I have a scarf for another aunt which I started on Tuesday (did about 2 feet so far), and I have another foot or so to go on a lap blanket for my gran aunt. (And that leaves 2 more scarves to start, and 3 of the completed ones that I want to add a couple of feet to (2) or remake (1) - if I get time).

Then I can get started on the sewing ones - but I need to clear out at home a bit first and make space for the machine for those. (The knitting is so neat and tidy in comparison - I have one at home, one in the office and one in a handbag for freetime on buses/parks etc).

If I get my knitting ones done early enough, I might take out a Winnie the Pooh cross stitch kit I have and see about making that for DD (it's only a tiny thing but I am soooo slow at XS).

Lana your post is making very hungry this morning.

I worked a little on Emma's blanket during football practice last night. But got sidetracked watching practice (I think that's why I am there anyway's) the boy's were learning a couple of new plays one of the coaches came up with and you gotta watch those. I didn't get dd's new hair tie done so need todo that before tonight

DD9 & DS10 have to go to the Varsity game tonight it is PopWarner night and dd gets to cheer with the varsity cheer squad, so other than getting her new hair tie done I don't think that I will have time to get anything else done.

Editing to add I finally finished the other fleece blanket because I wanted to get it out of the livingroom

**Okay, I began Hannah's 2nd sock but didn't get fabric cut for DS's flannel jammies. I cleaned out 2 of my quilt fabric bins (I have 9) and found donations for the woman's prison quilting project. So here's my project this week:

:pink:
(X ) Work on Hannah's sock #2
( ) Begin thick socks for DS
(X ) Make a couple more altered notebooks for Christmas
( ) Cut out DS's thick flannel pj pants
