Hello!

So many of you were really rocking it last week! SO PROUD OF YOU ALL!

This week I am sure nothing will get done crafty here. In evenings will have to clean and get ready for Easter.

Need to pin point what I am doing for CIJ ornaments. I keep narrowing it down.

DD, you do such a variety of crafting.

What is on your list this week?

Another month will be half gone!

HAPPY CRAFTING!!!!!

Greetings!

Thanks Lana for starting up the weekly thread.

I need to get Easter cards finished up and mailed, then look forward to what I need to do for Iris' birthday. Then Mother's Day cards will be started.

I'll also be continuing to knit the wedding afghan and another Seahawks scarf.

I would really love to get back to some quilting, too.

Kim ~ That's quite a list!

I finished a CCS motif for an Easter card today and started another one. Hope I can finish it in time. And I will need one more Easter card and have an idea for a quilted card.

Finished the cream felt wreath with pearls I'll be giving to a friend this Christmas:

Have two washcloths knitted now and have started a third. Have also finished 3 of the 7 tissue box covers I have planned in total.

And I made a simple birthday card for DH. My back went out yesterday and still in a lot of pain today, it's better if I'm up and moving around so not sure how much crafting I'll be able to do the next couple of days - but I'm going to try!!!

Does making candy for Easter count as crafting?

AJ ~ The Mother's Day cards are so nice! Paper crafting cards is so much faster than the CCS ones I do, but I don't want to make the investment in money and space.

Well, I feel like I’ve hit the wall in crafting. I made a couple stabs at some “easy” Easter cards for DD#2, but didn’t like either one. I need to get her package in the mail today, so I’m going to print a card on the computer. We are having a birthday dinner with a friend tonight, and I wanted to make her something, but that didn’t happen, and I started an Easter card for her, but it won’t be done in time. I do have a CCS birthday card for her. I’m going to print an Easter card for her, also, and get her a Barnes and Nobel gift card.



I have one more Easter card to finish up and get in the mail. It’s for another friend, and I finished the CCS motif on our glamping trip.

I tried using a regular BIC ball point pen in the Cricut Explore to do the writing in the card and it worked pretty good!
