Let's see....I have a crocheted scarecrow doll that I am finishing up for the scarecrow dolly swap on here :)
I have a sunflower granny square afghan in the works. (Its a work on it as I feel like it kinda project)
Right now though these have laid wayside as I am reading through a novel series and I am finding crochet not quite as a appealing. I will be done with those soon though and back to my projects at hand. :D
hugs

Sewing aprons and rice bags to sell at Farmers Market . . . sewing aprons for my daughters students at her school. Sewing aprons that are special orders. Sewing other things for people who need a seamstress.
Papercrafting my cards and journals for Farmers Market and upcoming craft fairs. Will be starting on Christmas cards and Christmas tags soon.
Beading for Farmers Market, upcoming craft fairs and special orders for customers.
Never a dull moment . . . that is fit in on days off from my full-time job, gardening, doing yard work and getting my power walks in every day.
Lots of stuff on the "table" . . . but enjoying it!!!

Just finished my hankies and pot holders for the swap, washing the fabric tonight so I can cut out the pattern for a shopping bag. I'll be starting aprons soon thats what I be giving all my sisters this christmas. But I did do a little playing today. Yesterday I bought one of those yo-yo making cases. This is the first yo-yos I've made and it's kind of fun. Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do with all these little yo-yos. I feel a coverlet coming on.

I still have my sister's quilt in the works. Kind of put it to the side and haven't touched it in awhile. I don't think she'll get that for Christmas this year. Oh well, maybe next year. I'm starting on a backpack purse. I think it will be for me, but we'll see. I hardly ever keep anything I make. Really need to get started on some Christmas gifts, but can't seem to find the motivation. Maybe it's cause work has me so busy right now.

Knitting a yellow baby blanket...although I have no one to give it to. Knitting a pink baby sweater...once again, no one to give it to--although I do give things away to charity and it keeps be busy :-) I have two sons one is almost 16 and the other 14, so I can't say that they are for them. :-)
Also working on two different quilts that I am piecing by hand and I do believe that I am going to start working on a cloth doll that I have been wanting to make. Also crocheting an afghan-yes, that I do have someone to give it to. I also think that I am going to start working on my cross stitch afghan that I put away for the summer. It's cool here now and so I won't mind it draped over me while I work on it. I always love to see what others are doing. Thanks for sharing everyone.

There are so many things I want to do, I just made a little embroidered farmgirl sign, curtains, a blanket, leg warmers, yo-yo's , will be most likely making a doll with them, i also made 2 pretty rag dolls. I made a lap blanket...a rag rug, and almost done with the 2nd, and i plan on making 2 more. I want to make things for Christmas gifts, such as pot holders, rag dolls, and flannel pants. (the pants should be interesting), LOL

I know right?!? It was his idea to put white laces to look like those on a football. He is his fathers son, always making sure things are super masculine.

A sweater for my son for Christmas. Made a plain one for him last year and an Irish Fisherman's sweater for my son-in-law. When my son saw the fancy one, he begged for one like it. Sooooo, this year he will get his wish. Have fun with your projects.
keep searchin'-it's out there somewhere. |
