Crafter's Challenge January 29th---February 4th, 2023

[Lana]

Welcome to February about mid-week!

You all did a GREAT job last week getting stuff done and moving onto another project!!!!

I am slowly making a list of stuff I am considering to do for gifts. But family is talking of cutting back buying for all so will see what is decided.

Can't wait to hear and see more of what you all have planned!

Happy Crafting!!!

Decide on a crochet blanket pattern to make a doll blanket and start on it.
work on bags
mending—first a run to Fabricland is needed
quilt blocks
start thinking of ideas for March cards

I am crocheting a cat mat for our Axl cat for the chair in the living room he uses.

Greetings!

We're leaving on a week-long trip on Saturday, so I'm kitting up some CCS projects to take along. I'll have to think about what other crafting I might take. I always take knitting but don't know if I want to take the shawl I'm working on or something smaller.

I'm hoping to get a few Christmas cards made this week, too.

I am hoping to finish off my craft room and then at least start something. It feels like ages since I picked up some handiwork.

Baby sweater is done as is a shopping bag. Have decided on a simple pattern for a doll blanket and have the crafting I did in January up on my blog.

Rose ~ I love to see your projects on your blog. Such a nice variety of crafts! I haven't updated my blog for some time now.

I've been working on a crochet cowl.

Rose, I looked at your blog a couple days ago. I love seeing pictures of crafts people do.

Quilt back is pieced. Might start sandwiching it later today.
Been picking at some photo ornaments for gifts. Keep changing my mind about what I want to do. A work in progress I guess.

Tonight I hemmed a pair of jeans for bosses husband. I used brown on bobbin and yellow on top to come up with the almost right color I could for matching.

Been fighting with my quilt since Wednesday. It’s finally sandwiched. I’m going to clean up my sewing room and work on my ornaments tomorrow just to give my self a quilt break.
Thinking about signing up for a class at the sewing expo in April. It’s a dress form class. I would be building my form with the help of a professional designer. Something that I have been wanting to do but it’s pretty expensive. Husband thinks I should do it. I think I’ll ponder for a few more days……

I vote for you signing up. It might be a once in a life time opportunity.

Amelia, you should definitely do it. I had a friend once who said he would ask himself, when the cost of something seemed excessive or when paying more than he had planned for something, would, in 5 or 10 years, it make that big of a difference.

 

[Lana]

Amelia go for it!

Myrons mom Go for it
Doll blanket is done. Just need to make a card and the gift is ready to go.
Also got another bag made and tucked away with the Christmas apron. This bag was made with the left over fabric from the apron.
