A good Corona beer would also be handy. Cheers!
I was thinking that just this morning.
My dh is teleworking, which he can do, but since we donāt have a home office he has to work from our computer desk in the living room. He has quite a few conference calls, we all have to be extra mindful of each otherā¦like, I fit in as much of the sewing for preparing binding for the Ohio State quilt as I could before his next call.
Iām alternating black, red, and gray stripes.
Attaching to quilt and will sew when I have another chance. (No sewing roomākitchen table).
You said it right thereā¦we are having to be much more mindful of othersā¦it is usually women who sacrifice their own needs, wants, etc. for the sake of their familiesā¦this place reminds us to take some time and space for ourselves as wellā¦the binding is a great way to sit and relax and chillā¦
We stocked up on essentials; food, TP, medications, but I didnāt think to plan out my crafting needs. I made a pair of pants the other day, and was stricken with remorse. Now I used up that piece of fabric, I have less to craft with!
Then sanity reasserted itself. My craft room is like yours; packed full of half finished projects and supplies it would take a year to craft through.
As usual, step 1 is clearing off the table to have a place to work.
this makes me smile!
looks yummy & lovely
Iām in, as well.
@Edel, your pie looks delicious! I havenāt had rhubarb in ages.

Hey lady! Nice to āseeā 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 donāt 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 parentsā KitchenAid cover (maybe evenā¦ finish the cover???)
-Finish knitting a baby sweater for my friendās 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 āooh, squirrel!ā craft tendencies dictate
Actually completed:
Starting tomorrow, the whole family is at home. So, Iāll definitely be crafting to stay sane. I pinned my sisterās 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
Iām binding a quilt right now! We can be binding buddies!
Iāll have to get my butt in gear, then. I still have to quilt this thing! I did make my binding already, though. Iām really hoping to get started tomorrow, but, weāll see. I have felt almost frozen for the past few days. Once I get started, Iām usually okay, but getting started is hard.
For now, still going to work (I donāt 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 - thereās years of reading to catch up on!
Oh, Iām so in. Iāll be teaching from home 5 hours a week or so, but thatās it.
I have enough yummy yarn to knit untilā¦May? June?
- Jewel tone shawl
- Shawl for Mom
- Shawl for me
- Sweater for me
- _______ with the gorgeous yarn I bought last week
Weāre 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.
Iād 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.
