Hello!!!!

Welcome to March about midweek! (time changes in about 2 weeks)

I am still cleaning. Making headway. Then to Teigan's room and then the sewing room. Hoping to finish the bar/ dining/ front room tomorrow.

The one item I am making for the 12 Days of Christmas didn't come with instructions so need to figure that out before I pick up old machine and get new.

What are you all planning for this week?

Happy Crafting!!!!

I was asked to make worry pillows (hand size) for a a therapist. I’ve had them cut out for a while waiting for her to get the rest filling and eyes. She got the wrong filling and no eyes so I will go to Michael’s or Hobby Lobby this week and get what I need and finish them.

Oh that's nice. I would love to see a pic. :)

Well, I thought I'd finish my first shamrock coaster yesterday, but something just wasn't right and I had to rip out about half of it. So, I'm hopeful that I can get the last of it finished this week and start on the second one. I wanted to have 4 done before St. Pat's, but not sure if that will happen or not.

Greetings!

I've set up a schedule for completing CCS motifs for cards and trying to include some time to stitch some charts for myself. So this week's plan is to complete two charts, one for DD#1's BD card and one for Valentin's calendar. I think that's doable if I'm not too tired or distracted to stitch most evenings. I'll be stitching with Kathy tomorrow at her house, too, while the contractor is working in my kitchen.

I'd also like to work on some Easter gifts for grandchildren. I'll be continuing to knit on an afghan I started last week, and may try to get a start on the butterfly shawl project. I was searching for the yarn and found it already rolled into balls, so that's a start.

I did 5 scrapbook pages yesterday and hope to finish a few more today before I have to print more photos.

Also knitted a bit last night and am working on projects for my craft programs later this year.

Making Spring striped tube socks for DD30 just for fun. This is some of the yarn that was given to me by the daughter of my friend that passed.

Can’t wait to see the finished socks!
Put together Christmas cards and thanksgiving cards yesterday. Need to order some orange card stock for the Halloween cards.
Will work on my ornaments this week. I’ve thrown my back out (maybe related to my shoulder issue?) again so I’m pretty much confined to sitting with my feet up until I see the chiropractor.

Greetings!

I finished the CCS Christmas door motif I was working on and started another motif for a BD card for DD#1. I'll work on that more today at Kathy's. We're having a S&B session just to get me out of the house while contractors are here.

Two more scrapbook pages and I decided on another way to do one of my crafts so I have to wait for an Amazon delivery tomorrow.

Printed out the rest of the pictures for my 2022 album and some captions to go with them.

Knitted a bit as I watched TV at night.

I might be falling behind on my CCS schedule. I had hoped to get two charts stitched this week. I did take last night off. My knitting is coming along great. I wish I had picked a different color of yarn though.

I got the project for the therapist done yesterday. Since she gave me the incorrect filling they didn’t turn out as nice but I used what she gave me. Glad I only charged her a dollar per item. I will talk to DS’s GF and see what she thinks.
