I skipped posting last week. I just didn't feel like I had made enough progress to post.
I did finish making all of those plastic canvas coasters (61 in all):
I then spent a few days working on making dish scrubbies. I plan on setting up at the monthly flea market on June 2. I'm working to fill my jar of scrubbies for sale. I stopped on those and started working on a toothbrush rug. It's been awhile since I've made one and they are fun. This one is made in brighter colored material that I've been saving in a box. I finally felt like I had enough strips in my box to complete a rug. This is what it looks like so far, and I am loving the bright colors!
Last week I attended the Needlers group at the quilt shop and worked again on my applique bunnies. I only get a bit done in those 2 or 3 hours, so not worthy of a photo each time. However, I should be meeting with my stitch group monthly now too and progress further on those.
The Friday before was Sit n' Sew at the quilt shop. I hadn't worked on on these blocks with the rectangles for a time. I had 20 blocks made and I made 20 more that Friday night. As of right now I doubt I will work on these except this once a month. Looking at the box I'm sure I can make at least another 20 blocks. I will make as many as I can and then decide what all I can make with them.
Last but not least, I worked more on the birthday pillowcases. I have just the one completely done, and it's for Skyler, who has the first birthday on May 29. I have 9 more to complete and all they need to be completed is that I am zig-zagging around the names. The next 2 birthdays are June 1 and June 5, so those 2 are up next to finish. Won't take me long to finish them all.
My days have been so crazy.....I don't really see that slowing down any with all the things I do outside the home as well as trying to keep up the home (which I am sucking at right now) and all the things that I do on the computer.
I really need a schedule, even for days that I am away from home most all day!
Until next week, I am linking up with:
I love the coasters and the rug. I wish I were that crafty! My craft skills are limited to stapling and painting things lol. By the way, I'm visiting over from Bubblews. My username on there is Sunshine. :)
ReplyDeleteWow you are being very productive it looks like. I have never hear of a toothbrush rug. I think I might like to try that sometime. You will have to post how to make one! You are very creative!! :-)
ReplyDeleteSome weeks I get so much done, and then there are weeks like this that I feel I've got nothing done. You've got some really cool creations here!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about trying to keep up with things around the home, a endless job with gardening, keeping dust down, and dish washing. I sell once a month at a Farmer's Market and the week before I am hardly doing anything else, but working on the items for the display table.
ReplyDeleteThe day at the market is always a mixed success. Sometimes I only make about $30, if I go to $75+ I feel I made an okay day. I still enjoy doing it and creating the items, so it is something I am going to continue to do.
