Crafters Challenge January 29th-February 4th

[Lana]

Welcome to another new week and month!

This week I did finish my 3 necklaces like I was hoping too.

Maybe if I list just 1 item that I would like to do, I will get it done. Hmmm...

I do have those pillows to do, the sewing and will stuff closer to Christmas. The 8 pillows will be my goal this week.

I also received my vanilla beans on Thurs. so need to get that started.

What will you be working on?

I patched 2 pairs of pants for a co-worker and a pair for DS.

I have knitted one lace edge and am half way through another. I am using an intricate pattern so it does take a while to knit up. I am checking through my supplies to make certain that I have everything I need for each project.
Looking forward to the winter months so I can get more done in the evenings.

I made one snowman ornament - it is the model I will be using for my gifts. I need to make 12 of these ... slowly

I made a list of crafts that need to be put in a ziploc bag. That is what I'll be working on.

WTG Lucie and Katrina! Amazing to think that 1 month is gone and then Dec. even tho we craft then till last minute (this year will be different--hoping) but say 10 months to go!

Still working on my craft room design/organization/remodel project. I have sanded and painted 6 of 10 dresser drawers. I am trying to either paint or second coat one each day. Then maybe do the dressers over a weekend. Slow and steady

 

[Lana]

Candysprinkles, that is a big job too but will be so nice when done!!!

Yep...it is going to be a work in progress for awhile. I am going for something like this: (scroll done to the dresser do-over)

MEETS THIS:

and when you put it all together with the bookshelves, dressers, drawers and some other cubbies I had; I'm hoping to pull off something that looks even half as good as the one we were discussing here:

So, yeah. Wish me luck. LOL.
Congrats to all of us for patching, knitting, painting, ornament making, and/or any other crafting we can squeeze in this week. Baby steps.

I love that craft room. Have seen it on a few blogs as an inspiration. Can't wait to see yours.

Since I have a long weekend, I want to make an ornament out of dh's shirt that I got the idea from here (I think) for dsd and probably dss's too. I think it's an awesome idea, and it makes a nice "momento". My dh doesn't take care of himself or his diabetes. If he'd only quit smoking--and hopefully, he'll be around a while; but let's face it--he won't be here forever. This way, they'll have a nice Christmas reminder of him each year.

Lolwlias, that is such a good ideal. I hope your DH will realize soon he needs to change his ways for his family. :grouphug: Would like to see a picture when you do them
