Past couple of weeks didn't get anything done. Kenny is preparing to leave going to leave his summer job early to go be a camp counselor for 3 weeks at an elite running camp that his old trainer runs. He is thinking I have to run and train anyways so why not get paid $1000 a week todo so. So we have been starting to get what he needs for school and getting things packed since he will go right from there to school for his preseason training.

I bought a little table at a garage sale on Saturday but not me I started sanding it last night hoping to finish it up tonight and get the bottom painted going to stain top and drawer.

so for this week.

Make shirt and tutu outfit for Izzabella (so I can give it to her next weekend) possibly a head band too.

When I was doing some cleaning the other day I discovered some x stitch embroidery that I had gotten for my girls to try long ago they didn't care for it so I decided I would do them. They are Christmas motifs and will be fun to do. I did a little on one and will work on them as time allows.

Good morning all!

Finished 4 ornaments this weekend!

Two of these mini embroidery hoop ones with a holly design:

And two of these circle/star pattern "Joy" ornaments:

Got a good start on a wall hanging, also in an embroidery hoop but a bit larger one - will look like two little girls in a field of white dandelions - girls will be seen from the back and their hair colors will match mine and my friend that I am giving to...

Will probably work more on simple white circle felt ornament with holly design tonight while waiting on DS at taekwondo class...

Need to print and do pattern for a felt Minion ornament for DS and pick an ornament to make for my friend I am doing the wall hanging for...

Nice work, AJ!

I've been working on the June owl CCS and have started another knit prayer shawl. Hope to make a couple of tissue box covers before the week is out.

Cinnamon oil, what a great idea.
Love the Joy ornament, very nice.

I am in a crafting funk. Just seem to busy at the moment to even pick up my heart ornaments. Will need to get moving soon as I still have a lot to do before Christmas.

Finished the simple white circle with holly leaves ornament!

Cut out another felt swan ornament and assembled a kit for it

Made good progress on embroidery hoop wall hanging - I was so nervous about drawing the design on but it worked fine - it was simple and that is why I decided to risk it!

Hoping to run to Hobby Lobby on lunch today to get Mod Podge I need for Salt Dough Ornaments project this weekend...
