I may not get much daytime crafting in this week. I'll be spending Monday cooking and preparing for company (relatives) arriving Tuesday. Tuesday through Thursday will be playing tourist with company (Tulip Festival and Boeing Tour planned), Friday when company leaves, we may be heading to the lake to check out a new concrete patio we had poured, and not sure how long we will stay. That said, I will definitely do some knitting while riding in the car and while visiting with our guests; and perhaps a little CCS.

Quilting pattern came, will make my project so much easier. I didn’t start it, my sewing room was freezing even with the heater on last week ( the effects of this cold I have). I worked in the kitchen tracing a jacket pattern I bought at the sewing expo instead. It doesn’t have a lining so I made a pattern for that too. I have fabric in my stash to make it but may have to buy some for the lining.
The skirt I made for Easter Sunday was perfect. I am planing to make a few more for summer.
Confession time- I bought fabric that I really don’t need. I’ve been looking at it for months and it was 40% off. I need to stay out of Joann’s!

Oh NO! I didn't know we had to confess that! If you've been looking at it for months, you should have it!

I want to finish CIJ ornaments and get to work on the afghan I told dd I would finish. I need to rip out the sides and re-crochet. It has been on my to-do list for several months - dd wants to give it to her ds for his anniversary in June.

I have been extremely busy since my vacation. So no time to get any crafting done. Some of the things I want to get done this week are mainly for me. I am getting ready to make a new spring wreath so I can take my bunny off the door. Next few weeks are going to be busy as well. We are going down to visit Kenny this weekend and take him to dinner for his birthday. Then in a couple of weeks get to pick him up for the summer. A few days after getting him have to go to NYC with my best friend her son finally has an appointment with a specialist they have been waiting 5 years to get into.

Mainly this week is stuff for me.
New spring wreath time to take the bunny off the door

I ripped out 4 rows of afghan border. Dd told me it needs another 6 rows ripped out. She wants me to crochet the side borders' foundation row so it doesn't ruffle. She isn't happy with the center panel either, so after all this she might just scrap it and start over.

I am back from holidays and now need to get the last few tea towels organised and ready for sewing.
Coming up to the colder months here and don't want to waste time, so will need to figure out what to do next.

Finished embroidery on another felt notebook cover - just need to sew the sides up.

Started work on embroidering felt apple shape that will be attached to last teacher themed felt notebook cover.

Hoping to cut out kits for more sunglasses cases this weekend!

Ironed the designs onto the last 3 teatowels that I am doing for mum, Easter, Autumn and Summer. I completed one last night and started on another.
I think once I have finished these 3 that this gift will be done.

I found fabric in my stash for my jacket lining. Fabric is washed and ready to go. I have the fabric for my quilt ready too. Just need to find time to start everything. Too busy cleaning house for company next week. But at least my room is all clean for sewing.
I’ll head to Amish country next week for a sale at one of the many quilt shops. I do not need any more fabric but they do have a collection that has wild violets on it. Grandma had them growing at the farm and they remind me of playing there when I was a kid. I will try to constrain my self!

I think that I will used Wednesday this week as a craft planning day. I am on break from DrillDance at the moment so I would like to use the time to prepare the next lot of crafts. I think the next priority would be the work Christmas presents.
