Good Wednesday to all. I barely know it's Wednesday, still coming down from the holiday rush. Not to mention that hubby is usually off on Wednesday, but not this week because of the holiday schedule.
Basically I've done nothing towards crafts! Not really true. I worked on the My Little Pony until almost the end of Dec. 23, to get it finished and wrapped for the 24th. It's no longer a work in progress but wanted to show it off. It didn't turn out half bad. I even have a picture of Brandon showing it off. (We did use the flat iron and straighten the yarn hair before wrapping)
Right now I'm pretty much just reeling---trying to figure out how to get back to some sort of a regular routine. This is always so hard for me.
I've not been in my craft room except to put materials away from all over the house----I still have the same projects sitting in there: 2 fabric bags to finish, 2 simple table runners to put together, the flower quilt I am working on, 2 more sets of folded hot pads to complete, an idea for my next quilt rolling around in my head---I did work some on washcloths the last couple of days and will continue that today. I am working on using up the yarn on this cone. After that, my living room projects will be the double thick crocheted hot pads and matching coasters.
NEW! I have vowed that next Christmas is going to be majority handmade, either by me, or bought homemade from someone. I have a new page here on my blog for you to link up handmade posts. Please check out the page and add links. I'm hoping to see literally a thousand or more links before the end of the year. I have linked up several of my own and others have linked in. Check those out while you are on the page as well. Link ups do not need to be blog posts for this one!! Thanks!
I'm going to close this for now. These are the blogs that I link up to each week---they may or may not have linky's this week due to the holidays though.
Good Wednesday morning to all.
This feels like it's been such a strange week as far as my crafts. You probably know how that is. I had so many plans on what I wanted to get done, and the majority of it did not get done.
My main plans were to line up my projects in a row, getting materials ready for all of them.
Well......I have one more box to set up for starting on toothbrush rugs, but below is 3 of my boxes. I have one to start in flannels, one with brighter colors of cotton and one with more neutral colors in cotton. I still have to get my box ready for one with t-shirts.
I finished up a set of the hot pads and I have 2 or 3 more sets that I have materials cut for. I still have the 2 simple table runners to get made.....the flowery quilt to finish the squares on......I have a plan for a string quilt if I have enough of a material that I need......I have fabric bags ready for sewing. I had made myself a plan...I was going to start using up my yarn stash making double thick crocheted hotpads with matching plastic canvas coasters. I got started on a yellow set.
I have a request by a nephew for a crocheted My Little Pony. My daughter found me instructions and she bought the yarn with her Hobby lobby card. Below is a picture of my progress so far. I hope it comes out alright....I'm thinking the hair is going to be even harder than the pattern has been. Wish me good on getting it finished as well please, just a few days left to complete it.
Let me close today by wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!
