I didn’t do much in the way of crafting last year but I did move and have all the fun that goes with that.

Still feeling the place out, but I think this thread is one of the best places I can start getting back into the groove. My parents moved to IN from FL back in July 2019 and lived with DH and myself until mid-September before construction was complete on the house they bought, totally derailed the little bit of crafty mojo I was building back up from a several year hiatus…blargh…
I’m back and I’m bad…but in a good way!
Here’s a little bitty list to start, more to come as I think of it, and hopefully items will be crossed off sooner rather than later.
Crystal Light Wallet (like a tea wallet, but with slots for those single-serve drink packet thingies…I get tired of plain ol’ water when I’m running errands all day)
Apron top for me
Lounge pants for me
Lounge pants for DH
Button or Teesha Moore stocking for me

I had “make something for myself” on my 2019 goals and only managed to do it at the very end of the year. I make things for other people, but so rarely myself! So most of mine have been on my private list for years… we’ll see how posting publically goes.
