Crafters Challenge April 2nd-8th, 2017

[Lana]

Good Morning!

Well, I did get 3 freezer pop cozies done on Friday night. Teigan used one yesterday and thought it was pretty nice.

Not sure once again if any crafting will be done this week.

You guys are sure making some pretty projects!!!!

What are your plans for this week?

 

[KimD]

Ok not sure what if anything will get done this week. Between both kids they have games Monday thru Friday. So that means lots of traveling for me.

Finish tulle bunny wreath
Finish pallet bunny
Finish nieces tulle wreath
Cut and put together another pallet bunny
Paint second pallet bunny
Work on Kenny's card box
Purchase my cricut (it is a must this week)
Take apart some old windows that were given to me
make another set of home wine bottles


Ok going to see what I can get done today to knock this list off since it is my only home day

Greetings!

I have Easter goals this week.

• Puzzle ball bunnies for Sonja and Julia
  
  • Stitch openings closed on all the stuffed parts (12 parts for each bunny)
  • Make bunny tail
  • Sew parts together
  • Additional glam (bow on head or around neck?)
• Secret chair for Iris
• Easter cards
• Organza butterflies for DD#2
• Gift for DD#1?
• Trip to See’s for chocolates
• Wrap/package/mail

That’s a lot, so we shall see how much I can accomplish. I really need to finish the bunnies. If I don’t get the secret chair finished for Iris, I can save it for her birthday later in April, and send her a little dress that I have for her instead. I can also finish and send the butterflies at a later date if necessary. No ideas at the moment for DD#1. Not that I need to send her something.

CIJ ornaments hopefully.

I'm trying to crochet a snowflake

 

[Lana]

DD, the bunnies sound interesting.

Good job everybody for having a plan

 

[luludou]

the yarn I have is too big for the snowflakes will have to look up something different... so meanwhile I've started a 3rd crochet bunny, it'll be for dnephew

Greetings!

Lucie ~ Snowflakes are usually crocheted with crochet cotton, more like a thread than yarn. I would like to see your bunnies.

One of the two bunnies is done except for possibly putting a bow on it which I think I will do. I'll see what kind of ribbon I have.

 

[Lana]

Lucie, share your bunnies too.

 

[luludou]

as soon as the 3rd bunny is finished I'll post a pic of all 3. found some cotton thread! and it works well... made 5 with different yarns in the last few days to test. Now I have what I need. they are quick and easy to do .

You gals are all doing so well. I am just so busy at the moment I just can't seem to sit down at all. Soon I will have more time in the evenings so that will be nice.

 

[DahliaDoll]

Greetings!

Lucie ~ Those are working up fast!

Katrina ~ Hope you get to sit down with some crafting soon.

Both bunnies are sewn together. I don't have any ribbon that I want to use for bows, so I'll probably buzz into Michael's this afternoon. I made some progress on the secret chair yesterday afternoon. I'm asking DH to cut some stiff cardboard pieces for it. I cut one and decided it would be a good job for him. LOL The directions are in a book and could be written more clearly. Of course, I should have sat down and read through them before starting and it might have made more sense.

I'm going to Sew Fun with a friend this morning, then out to lunch. I'm hoping she will want and have time to stop at Michael's with me so I don't have to make another trip out after I get home. It's close to where we will be anyway.

Everyone is rocking and rolling this week! That is great!

I've been home with a sick 7 year old - he's been pretty quiet - laying on couch and playing his tablet or watching movies so I've taken some time to work on crafts while sitting in the same room.

Finished two tissue box covers so far - here is a pic of one of them:

Have plans to make 7 total, one for us to keep and 6 as gifts. Have started on the third and have pieces cut for the fourth.

I'm also in the home run on knitting a washcloth to go along with the potholders I made recently. Will make at least two, maybe four, total.

I also purchased supplies at Joann's recently to beef up my supply of stamp pads and other tools. Have plans to make a birthday card for DH and a Mother's Day Card for MIL...

Greetings!

AJ ~ The tissue box is wonderful. I need to figure out how to make some to cover them when they are in the wall mount holders. One of those would be a nice gift for a friend's June birthday.

DH cut cardboard for the secret chair, and it's all but done. I just need to affix the bottom. They say to hand sew it, but I think I'm going to use hot glue instead. It's really cute!

I sewed up a hooded baby towel yesterday to send to Julia. DD requested another one, since she only has the one I made her that still fits over Julia's head. The purchased ones are quite small.

I'm not making any progress on Easter cards and I would really like to get gifts mailed by Thursday or Friday. I might have to just print some computer cards. I probably won't have much day-time crafting time for the next few days, since I'll be getting ready for our glamping trip, and tonight we are going to friends' house for dinner.

I need to start a different knitting project to take with us. I don't think I want to knit a white afghan around the camp fire. I'll probably get out my Seahawks yarn and start a herringbone cowl.

 

[Miss JoDee]

I got to work on my CIJ ornaments today. Hoping to do more later if time permits. If not, I am off work tomorrow and can do it. The next step will take the longest but once it is done I can carry it with me and do it as I go. I am really excited about them it is exactly what I like, so hopefully my swap friends will like them too! more

AJ - beautiful tissue box

Lucie ~ What darling bunnies! Can you share a link?

AJ ~ Congratulations on your successful washcloth.
