What is everyone working on for craft related items? Currently I am working on four cross stitch items (either for charity or birthday gifts). I need to start working on two others. I have a ways to go on them though to get them completed. Here are the photos so far (one of them I don't have a pic of):
This is a Winnie the Pooh bookmark that I am making for charity;
This is a bookmark for my mil for her belated birthday (it is a little blurry and I started on a flower underneath the K)
My husband and I anniversary is coming up and we both like the show Dexter, so here is a cross stitch item so far (I will be making a cross stitch item of our wedding for either his birthday or for christmas)

For my other grandmother here is her belated birthday gift. It is from a counted cross stitch compact mirror kit that I completed and gave to her this past weekend.

Working at shuttle tatting a doily and numerous earrings/lace by the yard for a series of upcoming festivals in September that I have promised to do demos in tatting and crochet for. I'm also going to make several crocheted sponges and dishcloths for selling at the festivals, I think....I could at least get some halfway decent gas money out of it!
Too much thread, so little time! |

I love tatting and lace. I tried it with the shuttle and found for me that the needle tatting is easier. I am teaching myself so I haven't made anything yet, just practicing. I love dishcloths as well. Good luck at the festival!

thanks, vmfein. I taught myself to tat last summer (after a week of chucking the shuttle across the room and the cat using it for a hockey puck as a result) and finally mastered it a few months ago.

| I have a few projects that I am currently working on. I have a cross stitch of a teddy bear sitting in a chair that is about 3/4 done, fixing my sons afghan that I made for him when he was a baby (13 years ago), a rug that I am crocheting with dishrag yarn, and my knitting. I just taught myself how to knit so I am making strips to stitch together as an afghan. Each strip is a different color, and apparently I am pretty slow because it is taking FOREVER to get through a small (5oz I think) skein of yarn. Maybe it won't make it into an afghan after all, maybe they will be scarves - we'll see.... I have a bunch of other unfinished projects that I will pull out and work on if I want something else to do. I am also always scrapbooking as well. |

Have LOTS of projects going but currently I am crocheting Christmas gifts and doing embroidery for that also.
I have an ongoing cross stitch. I have been working on it, on and off for years,yikes! But I picked it back up again. It is nine little pictures of different areas of a farm. When it is finished it makes one big picture. I think it was designed so that either the whole picture could be done or it could be a row of three or just one individual and they would still all look complete that way. It is on 28 count so I had to invest in a magnifying glass to help me out.
Also sewing a dress for my granddaughter.

O, a trouble's a ton or a trouble's an ounce,
Or a trouble is what you make it!
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts,
But only--how did you take it?

farmdream the pattern looks great.
Can't wait to see others pics when available. I need to finish the Dexter cross stitch today, as it is our anniversary tomorrow. His gift was originally going to be a birthday gift later on, but I decided to give him the Dexter one earlier instead.

I have lots of projects going on too- btw I love your cross stitch- I am working on my farmgirl embroidery badge (a sampler), horse intermediate badge, a quilt- called my Colorado quilt because it has applique blocks of pikes peak, bears, elk, deer, and a log cabin. I love crafting! Sorry I don't have any pics right now. Happy crafting!

this was my gift I made for my husband on our anniversary. We are both Dexter fans and originally it wasn't going to be a anniversary gift but I completed it first. He liked it, although I think next time he wants one that he can put in his office at work.

I am sewing, sewing, sewing, making dolls to sell at our fall festival the first weekend in October. I am also teaching my great neice to sew. Pray for me. And I have a Thanksgiving horn of plenty, tatting and whatever else I can find time to do. Can you tell I like to craft? LOL
