Crafters Challenge April 14th-April 20th

[Lana]

Another week is starting!

I did finish up a couple of gifts yesterday a.m..

I have some patching to do this week.

I need to decide on the ornament that I will do for the CIJ swap.

I also need to look at the list I posted at the start of the year and see where I am at and to add more or take off anything!

With spring starting and the outside activities--I am slower than ever---if that can get any worse!

Happy Crafting to you all this week!

Lana, good going on those gifts. the pillowcase is beautiful.

I finished doing my 12 mini santa-hats. I'll try to work on doing tests on my mini-signs to see how I want them to come out. Once I get what I want it'll go much more quickly. DH still has to drill small holes in it for the ribbon.

Can you believe I tried to find some medium-brown wool and couldn't find it? geez, will have to go to another store to see... to make a mandrake for Halloween.

I've been trying to find the time to sit down at my sewing machine for two weeks now. I have finally found the valance that I want for my living room and now I can't find the fabric I'd bought for it. Grrrrr!

I really need to make me a new pirate costume for our upcoming festival. I found the perfect skirt pattern but I need to make it much longer than shown in the pattern. I just finished using some brown craft paper and lengthening it. The fabric is now in the washing machine. I really hope to get at least one skirt done today.

Lana, are those kleenex holders knitted or crochet? I've been searching for a good pattern in either.

Ellen, the ones I make are from fabric.

I haven't been to productive this week.
