Jaymee mentioned an apron out of wine material one time so maybe I should try to do one

What are you all planning to do?

Lana, the fleece blankets look great! I'm sure he will love them!!

Yesterday afternoon I finished the hooded towels that I have been working on for the past two weeks. I still need to bundle them up and take pictures. So, stay tuned, I'll post them on my blog for you to see.

This morning I started working on monogrammed key fobs. I had a few initials that I was low on, so am just filling in and shouldn't take long.

I want to start on embroidered pillows later this week if all goes as planned. And then I need to start tagging everything for the upcoming craft show. Each item has to have a unique numbered tag. There is a central check-out and this is how we track our inventory.

Have a great week!

Great job ladies! I have been busy with clothing repairs, so not much done the past several weeks on crafting. Boys are hard on clothes!

I have two scarves left to complete.

Thinking I will start afghans for the boys beds, a project of granny squares and stripes. Not a Christmas timeline - so will be an ongoing project. Will stop into the knitter knackers this week

 

[KimD]

Lets see there are a few things I want to finish to get out of the way and a couple to start just to get rid of things sitting around.

/mesh wreath (should be able to get these finished today after Kayla is home)
/mesh wreath
Randa's scarf
work on poppet for Randa that she wanted me to make
make as many dishcloths/washcloths as possible to get rid of this cotton yarn

Ok think thats it for the week

 

[luludou]

Thank for the comments on the scarf. My mom & sis don't really like a granny scarf but I do!

I decided no Halloween party this year so gives me more time to prep for some other things. Still need to finish doing the Halloween bags... maybe tomorrow... need more candy. Halloween decorating is done.

I need to finish my christmas ornaments - shouldn't take long as they are almost completed and need to find a way to wrap the lot of them.

Might try a mini felt doll in a tin for dniece.

 

[carol1231]

Lucie - love your scarf! The colors are great!

 

[happy2bme]

Lucie,

Your scarf looks great and I think the funky colors are perfect for you!!

 

[luludou]

thanks Mel & Carol - I WILL wear it
I'm thinking a H.Potter scarf might be in my future... maybe after Christmas.

 

[Princess_Christmas]

Wow, October is almost over, and I haven't gotten a single Christmas present made, but that's alright, because this will be the last week of Halloween focus!

1) Finish lala loopsy mermaid costume - DONE
2) Make my Cheetah costume - Decided on witch instead
3) Finish cutting place mat fabrics
4) Make my Autumn/Halloween duvet cover
5) Create bloom loom flowers for work display - DONE
6) Finish shopping lists for G & E for Friday's shopping trip
7) Finsh ALL Halloween/Autumn stuff

 

[Lana]

Thanks on the blanket! It is one blanket made with 2 different throws tied together. Miranda will get it from me today and give it to him.

 

[halimer]

Lucie - scarf looks great!
So does Lana's blanket and Carol's glasses, etc.

I've been knitting again - I have half of a hat done and since they seem pretty easy I may make more. Also doing wristers.

Should probably check and see what I have!

 

[Cindasnow]

I haven't been on here in a long time and this years Christmas prep really shows that. I have really got to get busy. My goal for this week is to get started. I need to make my list and finalize my decisions and start crafting. You ladies are always such an inspiration to me.
Here is what I have so far
() mesh wreath for mil
() 17 plastic canvas eagle treat holders ( found these in my UFO box, have no ideas why I cut them out or what hey were for but perfect for my girls teachers now that we are eagles and bonus I had exactly the number needed already cut out.)
() plastic canvas reindeer necklaces for school
() doll clothes for dd and dn

Happy Crafting everybody.

 

[luludou]

Nice blankets Lana! Nice glasses Carol!

Did 2 fur cuffs for my Cruella Devill Halloween costume.

finished my Christmas ornaments (only had assembling to do). However, I have a few wooden signs left... so maybe I'll crochet a few more hats to have some extra ornaments to give.

Cindasnow, nice to see you back posting! Isn't it amazing all the time we have to do stuff and we take it down to the last month or two!

You have a nice list of stuff going.


Christmas Princess and Jampss your both have a great list.

I haven't did much for Halloween over the past several years. Did when kids were little. Ryan is born on 10-31.

Debbie you do so many nice items!

Lets keep a going ladies--we will get there.

 

[supermom315]

I am working on crafts for 2 shows (between various doctor visits for autistic son)

[carol1231]

I love seeing everyone's lists!

I posted a couple of pictures to my blog of the flour sack towels I embroidered.

 

[KimD]

Lucie those are so cute.

Finally sat down and finished one of the mesh wreaths last night am going to get the other one done today and doing a few things different with it. I even made the bow one thing that I have never been able to figure out how to do

DH said he is working at least part of the weekend - maybe all weekend ... so I'll do more crafting

 

[Lana]

Supermom315, glad to see you back posting. Was wondering if you had fall shows coming up. Everything will fall in place---always seems to for us all.

Carol, was on FB and saw your post. They are really pretty! I would use for decorations only!!!

Kim, your wreath turned out great!

Lucie, can't wait to see pictures of all your Halloween stuff together? When is your Boo Bash?

I will have some yarn in my purse to crochet on while at the doctors office with Jaymee. (just her monthly check up)

Lets keep pushing forward ladies-----
