You have such a kind and wonderful soul.
Hey lady! Nice to “see” you!
Spent much of the day working on behind-the-scenes mod stuff, and taking care of a bunch of Harry Potter Craftalong housekeeping. While I don’t have anything physically crafted to show for it, I did accomplish a ton of stuff that needed to be done. Now to make dinner, and get some work done on my Klaziena shawl.
Cuuuuuute!!
My crafting goals for the near future:
-Finish my Flash the Sloth hoop
-Make a set of three crocheted hanger covers
-Make more TM patches for my parents’ KitchenAid cover (maybe even… finish the cover???)
-Finish knitting a baby sweater for my friend’s second baby (due in May)
-Make felties to send to my friends in Japan
-Make a feltie of a weird Japanese fish-monster prophet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amabie (Some of my friends in Japan have been drawing pictures of this and posting it because in the legend it said to do that if disease spreads)
-Make some small amigurumi when my yarn order comes
-Decoupage some paper photo frames (first need to choose the photos to go in them, so I can coordinate colors!)
A few ideas for now:
- Personal WIP
- ATC theme in my head
- Whatever else my “ooh, squirrel!” craft tendencies dictate
Actually completed:
Starting tomorrow, the whole family is at home. So, I’ll definitely be crafting to stay sane. I pinned my sister’s quilt this afternoon. Still need to find a good pattern for the baby blanket.
List of projects that need finishing in the near future:
- quilt for my sister (just need to quilt and bind)
- quilt for me (pin, quilt, bind)
- baby blanket for niece
I’m binding a quilt right now! We can be binding buddies!
I’ll have to get my butt in gear, then. I still have to quilt this thing! I did make my binding already, though. I’m really hoping to get started tomorrow, but, we’ll see. I have felt almost frozen for the past few days. Once I get started, I’m usually okay, but getting started is hard.
For now, still going to work (I don’t really have a work-from-home kind of job), but that could change any day now. And then the need to craft full-time will kick in. Well, almost full-time - there’s years of reading to catch up on!
Oh, I’m so in. I’ll be teaching from home 5 hours a week or so, but that’s it.
I have enough yummy yarn to knit until…May? June?
- Jewel tone shawl
- Shawl for Mom
- Shawl for me
- Sweater for me
- _______ with the gorgeous yarn I bought last week
We’re a pair of mountain hermits up here, so our life will likely not change too much. I am used to popping down to a food seller of some sort a couple times/week, so that might change a bit. What might open up more extra crafting time is two sets of planned houseguests might not visit.
I’d like to:
Do a spring bottle brush tree decoration.
Make a jackalope!
Finish up some xmas bottle brush tree decorations for an Xmas in July thing.
Finish up a tee shirt quilt project for a friend.
Mount 6 frames worth of the foreign toothpaste collection.
posted the photo to my insta this morning. I made it 'cause I was annoyed I didn’t have a decent container for these crayon/pencils:
Also made a repeating pattern for Halloween of bones and skulls cause I apparently have a super morbid sense of humor…
And I did this too: ATC Personal Challenge - corona virus work from days
There’s plenty of Corona beer close to the empty toilet paper shelves here! I’m up for the challenge and look forward to making some things over the next few weeks. Thanks for the inspiration!
My husband and son got their essentials - magic cards and the like. They asked what I was going to get and I’m “uh, my craft closet is packed - I’m all set.”
Today - painters palette earrings
The pencil cup is pretty! I think I may have that paper… Is it from a book of Asian-inspired scrapbook paper?
Hahaha! My son also ordered some Magic cards. Love your artiste earrings!
Today I made six of these little wallets. I usually hate carrying a purse and just grab my ID and some cash.
And then I experimented with some theatre scraps and some key fob hardward6 and made these.
And then I caught up on my daily quilt blocks.
And decided that this would be a great time to actually take the three monstrous tubs of fabric scrap and iron and organise and actually trim to a uniform sizes. And I realise that I will need to be socially isolated for eleventy million years to get thru all the scrap.
I mean magic cards are pretty important!
Love the earrings!
