I’d better make at least something this year

I did! I donated & threw out a few things actually, of note about 1/2 of the sweaters from the mending pile that aren’t the right size anymore. I’m not even keeping them for scrap material.

Felt mushroom house!

I have always wanted to add a crocheted border to the patchwork blanket I made for Rob out of old fulled sweater squares. I don’t know how to figure out the gauge and I feel intimidated by such a big project and messing it up. I could just do it, or I could sew a blanket stitch edge. My plan was to use wool yarn we got on a cross-country trip to visit my Aunt’s cottage on the east coast before she passed away so there’s some sentimentality delaying the project too. She would want me to find joy in the making though, so I should let myself feel her love and support while I just get to it.

I’m crafting for the 5th round of Positive Affirmations, that’s a small one, and bright & shiny too. I can get it done by the deadline.

Restringing a garnet necklace. I have a plan for it! Just gotta make sure I have the right sized beads.

Mending Rob’s sweaters. I’m just sitting around watching tv in the evenings, I might as well keep my hands busy!
