Crafters Challenge Feb. 17th-23rd

[Lana]

Will get this thread started for the week. Last week I didn't start one so I wouldn't be on long or put more out there for them when they were working on it.

This past week I did finish:

4 pairs of pants-patching for a friend of Allens
A coworkers pair of pants hemming them.
Vanilla started
another pillowcase
and an infinity scarf.

Lets me think on what to do for this week!


What do you have planned?

 

[Ahorsesoul]

All but one pair of dress pants hemmed last night (plus one extra that DD picked up at the thrift store).

Today we head to Archiver's to make Birthday cards so my goal will be to finish them all this week. I will probably be helping DD more than finishing my cards at class. Even with LC there it might take the two of us to help her. lol

Oh Lana, you reminded me that I have several balls of yard I need to make into scarves too. Thanks

Need to hem 2 pairs of pants, start making Christmas gift tags, start making cards for Easter, work on my painting in paint class, maybe start a new mandala, and get another ziploc bag craft out. Not sure all will get done this week

Cut out fabric for bag at sewing class tonight but did not have time to start it. I will get to it next Monday. Stuff pin cushion and just need to hand sew the opening shut.
Started cutting out some snow flakes to decorate the house for winter, need to do a few more yet. Need to also start Easter crafts, not sure what yet but I think I am making a garland.

Fun!

Y'alls projects sound fun! We will work on DS9's 4H crafts for the Youth Fair which will be judged this Saturday.

A busy bunch here!

I will patch another pair of pants that Allen brought home yesterday and I am planning on making me a new wristlet. I am still using the very first one I made and it is a Christmas one!

That is what my plan is for today.

Crafts ...

I'd like to get the stuff to make these boots from a sweater! http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=67859.0

 

[luludou]

Jampss - nice boots!

 

[sweetpumkinpye]

Still need to cut out the straps for my bag, just running out of time lately. I hate when I don't get time to do things that I want. Everyone is doing great with their crafts at the moment

I am shaking my vanilla!

Will patch a pair of jeans today.

Finally finished cutting out the fabric for my bag. Hopefully will get it sewn on Monday. Also cut out some teddie bears out of a fabric panel so I can appliqué them onto bibs I bought a few weeks back. Will iron them on tomorrow.

The plan is to make a card for ds's former music teacher (who's also a friend and neighbor) who just had her 2nd baby girl! I have a rubber stamp of a bib with with a heart on it. Plan to use a soft green card stock, color the heart pink with watercolor pencils and and emboss it.

My progress can be summed up in one word:


N O T H I N G


Big sigh.

 

[luludou]

Finished cutting up my Christmas cards! I kept maybe around 30, the rest are cut up for tags and art projects.

 

[Lana]

Very good ladies!

Kimmie, can't always get stuff done--just so we have a plan and do a thing here and there.

My Christmas cards are still in a pile. I need to go thru and get any information I need out of them and then decide if I will keep any.

 

[sweetpumkinpye]

Kim, feeling your frustration.

 

[jampss]

Pretty!

Ooooooooooo! Cool sounding!

I finished up the Warm Up America blankets to donate!

Wijulie, the card sounds really pretty!
