Knitting!!!
I have two pieces I'm ready to cast off on. Dilemna = I've forgotten how to cast off! lol
Will need to put my Learn to Knit DVD in after DS goes to sleep one night and review the instructions - I'm sure it will come back to me!
Trick is to get DH to let me do that before he starts watching his TV shows for the night!!!
And to have the energy!!!
I'm also trying to get motivated to move forward on the remaining fabric wrapped hangers I plan to do for gift sets. I got the material strips prepped, and have made a handful of felt/fabric flowers. Just need to finish up and pull it all together!
I also need to finish the ornament I made for DS this year. Its a simple little bear design where the bears eyes are supposed to peek out over a scarf. I wasn't happy with the material I found for the scarf so I never finished it.
Trying not to go buy something new so need to regroup! May be able to find the right material by going through clothes in the garage sale pile...or maybe I'll knit/crochet something. It doesn't need to be big which makes it simpler.
Projects on the horizon:
- Beach Memory Jars (1 for us and 1 as Bday gift for a friend)

I'm going to simplify the craft a bit by gluing an artificial starfish to the top of each jar instead of making one from paper as in the tutorial. I have one starfish already (from the $ Store I think) and will just have to pick up another one
- Butterfly Wreath (Bday gift)

I'm going to try my hand at duplicating this wreath, although perhaps going about it a little differently than the post above. I have some really nice, sturdy silver ting ting that is all curly and pretty that I'll cut up and wire back together into a circle to form the base of the wreath.
Then it should just be a matter of printing, cutting a bunch of butterflies from there. Looking forward to this one!
- Felt Ornaments, Variety (Christmas gifts)
- Cell Phone Holder from Babywash Bottle

I have a purple "night" scent bottle that I've almost used up that would be lovely with some coordinating fabric. It will make a very simple gift for a friend who happens to love the color purple! Easy to ship too since she has moved out of state!
