Crafters Challenge 1-13-13-1-19-13

Welcome to another week!

Was glad to see several putting list up.

Jenny, are the dish cloths crocheted or knitted?

Carol, sucks when you have machine trouble.

I only got the kleenex holder done. Had wanted to get the pillowcase redone before today but didn't. Taking Christmas down and ended up in bed by 7 last night didn't help with getting things done.

This week the plan is the pillowcase and 2 infinity scarfs.

What are you hoping to make this week or start on?

This week I want to make several pot holders. I have them cut out and they just need to be sewed up. Hoping to work on them tonight.
I have also purchased several "in the hoop" projects for my embroidery machine that I want to do this year.
By the way Lana, I love the quote you have about worry. It has helped me many times!

 

[Lana]

SD, what type of potholders you doing? Scrap, squares, log cabin etc..
They for gifts or restocking your own?

I sewed last night but it was patching and hemming for a friend.

Did start crocheting beads onto soxs at work yesterday for a shower on Saturday.

My projects for this week are to finish the binding on a couple projects. If I can finish this or at least make some major headway I am doing good.

I did nothing last week so I'll bring over last weeks list to this week. Oh no, I see a pattern developing!

I have gotten as far as I can with the headbands, I ordered elastic from Joann's and I'm still waiting for it to arrive.

Today I am trying to create a "spa wrap" from a bath towel. Jazzing it up with a ruffle and maybe some embroidery.

 

[Lana]

Carol, I really like those. Haven't had one in awhile but was always nice to use. when out of the shower and getting ready.

Kim, takes awhile to get going with projects. I really lack in getting things done (hope to improve this yr.). Alot of these women are so busy all the time!

Carrie, you are really doing good on projects! WTG! Love seeing them on your blog.

Lucie, you are getting a good start too--keep a going!

Finished one sox today. Working on hemming another pair of pants for a friend.

A bit too hot to do too much at the moment, although I am adding more to the list. I have just bought 6 good quality cotton babies bibs for $2.00. They are a nice beige cotton fabric and will be nice with an appliqué on them.

 

[Lana]

Katrina, good price on the bibs!

I have two potholders made and several more cut out. This is a really easy way to make them and the possibilities are endless! Here's the link:

SD, I have made coasters like that. Pot holders would be very nice too! Thank you for sharing. I have seen them round also with coasters.

I finished my other sox and also a pillowcase.

A lovely weekend here, so I am hoping to get a few things done. I bought some lovely faux fur type fabric at the mall and would like to make DD a winter snugly. Why is my list getting longer?? Oh well, plenty of time yet to get it done.

 

[Lana]

I finally found out where the patches were to go and got them sewn onto the girl scout vest last night for my great niece. Will get that mailed back to Texas.

Finished a tie purse for my sister.

All in all I did a few things this week:

Hemmed a pair of pants and fixed a hole in a shirt for a CW's husband, made a pillowcase, tie purse, crocheted beads onto a pair of soxs for a baby shower today.

All little things but... needed done.

I finished the 2nd half-eaten Gingerbread man! need to empty that ziploc bag and put the leftovers away So that's 1 Christmas gift done. 1 is for dniece & the other is for dnephew.

Ok, so now which ziploc bag will be opened??

 

[Lana]

WTG Lucie! Now just reach in and pull one out with your eyes close--mix them up first! lol
