Welcome to the 1st week of the Crafters Challenge for 2013!!!!!
Looks like we have several who would like to get an earlier start on crafts for Christmas and just to have ready before NEEDED!
I have purchased fabric for several diffferent projects on Friday and yesterday. Have a few projects that I didn't fabric for. Went to Jackmans and was looking at machines. I know I have been talking about it forever. Finally decided to go with a babylock but I have to really decide which one and then get a couple things paid before I purchase. When I ever buy I will give Jaymee my Viking Rose embroidering/sewing machine.
I have a list started for 2013 but will be adding to it. Here it is at the present. Some are carried over from last year!
Craft List to make for 2013:
( ) Jaymee a stocking with wine material (Christmas)
( ) Jaymee an apron with wine material
( ) 3 thread catchers (2 for Christmas gifts or maybe one b'day or Mothers Day and one for myself)
( ) 2 themed pillow cases
( ) 2 infinity scarfs
All the items with 2 are for nieces b'days in Feb. & April
( ) 2 ruffle skirts
( ) 2 kleenex holders
( ) fleece tie blanket Nephews b'day in Sept.
( ) start more vanilla --- beans ordered on 1-5
( ) decide on item for HGTV 12 days of Christmas
( ) decide on item for CIJ ornament swap here
( ) decide on ornament for another swap
If I join these 2
( ) decide on item for Jill's 12 Days of Christmas
( ) 1600" (will be bigger for a king size) quilt for nephews 30th b'day in April
( ) 1600" (not sure size but with either Q or K) for a friends 50th b'day in May
( ) need a few more change out covers for our weight thingy at work drive up window. Last year something took our Christmas one.
( ) still have barbie clothes I would like to do
( ) scrappy pot holders
( ) Christmas pillows
( ) choose ornaments to make for family/friends
( ) Unfinished projects for myself
This is the items I can think of now but I will be adding to it I am sure.
This week I will be working on the 2 infinity scarfs and maybe a pillow case. The scarfs I am using throws that I got after Christmas for $2.88 in their favorite colors and will be able to get a few from them. The pillow cases one I got all the material and the other I got some but might change out the top if I find banana material.
What are your plans for 2013 or this week?
