Craftrer's Challenge October 8th---October 14th, 2023

[Lana]

Morning!!!!!

I finally have my table cleared so later this week hoping to get my machine out (old one probably) and start the 12 Days of Christmas swap project. Reodered and received the pattern and of course found the other pattern last night in a sewing folder on table.

What are you all planning to work on?

Happy Crafting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never made it downstairs last week. My rug is still waiting on me! I will get it done by Halloween!

I am about 1/2 through my CCS Christmas house. I am not in a rush, it will just be for the gift closet.
Looked on Pintrest and found a Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring that I would like to do for next year!

I am always inspired by everyone's projects!

Finished first sock today. Plans for rest of week is to get going on the second sock and to cross off some small sewing projects.

I started an acrylic painting tutorial from Jesse Robertson ... a Fall paysage.

I disassembled and bagged 2 legos cars today. I still have 2 medium-sized cars and a huge thing, some sort of app-controlled vehicle that goes forward & backward, turns, and flips over. I think all my kids & grandkids are getting slightly used legos for Christmas.

My son always gets Legos for Christmas and he's 42!

My computer room is my craft room and so I decided to clean out the closet and organize my crafts, mostly yarn and crochet stuff. Donating things! Yay!

 

[luludou]

I've started a new painting tutorial still need another hour (at least) to finish it.

 

[Myron's Mom]

Working on my rug finally. Will iron on appliqué pieces tonight after husband looks at it to make sure nothing is lopsided.

Have the items I need to make some bags for have been measured so I know what size of bags I need to make. The sock is at the knit the heel stage. Haven’t had mulch crafting time as I need to take care of some fall things.

Have not achieved too much this week as I have been working out of the home. Hoping to catch up over the weekend.

 

[Lana]

Have 2 items roughly cut out and the interfacing ironed on.

 

[Myron's Mom]

Ironed my pumpkin pieces on the rug. Then had to redo several pieces because the heat and bond wouldn’t stick. Had that problem with my other rug too. I figured that since it was the end of the bolt maybe it was old but I just bought this bolt. Then I read on line that others have had the same issues. I’m wondering if they changed the formula to be environmentally friendly (my translation: now it doesn’t work right). But they are stuck on there now!

They sure don't make anything like they use to! It seems!

I am playing around with crocheting a tube sock with cotton yarn.

I am not crocheting gifts this year. Just don't have it in me. Maybe next year.

 

[luludou]

I finished my painting!

 

[halimer]

It is lovely, Lucie!
