WIP 5/4

What have you been working on?

[MsNicole06]

I finished DDs baby book, well technically I still have to scrapbook her opening gifts.

Helped a friend sew some pillows out of the bridesmaid dresses from her wedding. These now match the pillows from her wedding dress I made in the fall.

Also cut out things for a gift for a friend. This is the new custom top for a wine set with cork screw and toppers.

I also made a sign for Day Care because I brought in bagels for the whole staff.

I made the Mother's Day cards for MIL and my mom.

It was a really productive week for me but that is mainly because I hosted a craft day on Saturday. I had a few girls over and we go to work.

First communion is over!



100 chocolate cross lollipops for center pieces



I don't have pics but I also made a banner

I embroidered a shirt for my cousin. For my first time embroidering, I think it went pretty well. I need to fix the letter "O" though because it cuts in a bit in a spot from when I bumped the hoop against the presser foot as I was turning the corner.

I did a tiny bit of crocheting on a dish cloth.

I hemmed the edges of a few more "stepping stones" for LO's activity mat that I have neglected the past few weeks (they have been clipped up and ready for hemming forever). I didn't really have time to do them, but I needed the clips so it was more time saving in the long run to take off the clips while sewing rather than have redo them.

I am currently trying to work on a dressy chiffon tank top as a gift for my mom. I have about 3 hours left before it needs to be finished (and I have other stuff to do in that time period also). No pressure or anything. Lol.

I'm trying to jump back in here. I haven't had time to really be crafty for awhile, so I faded away.

I don't have any project going on right now, but now that my daughter is getting old enough to play on her own for little chunks of time, I want to pick it back up.

I need to figure out some yarn storage, though. I'm tired of looking at ugly plastic tubs.

Do you sew? I made some bins that I use for storing some supplies (and I need to make about 5759536 more ). They were incredibly easy (and economical).

Some and not well, bug I'm trying to get better. Would they be a good beginner project?

It would. Just a bunch of straight lines across a rectangle basically. If you are interested, I can give the details when I am on the computer.

Yes, please!

And thank you!

I didn't forget about you. I had a last minute trip across the state (literally went from hanging up the phone to throwing things in a tote!), so I am just starting to get even a tiny bit caught up. I'm hoping to get the photo uploaded tomorrow. Do you know off hand which photo sites are safe for doing so? I recall there having been an issue with one a while back. Obviously I can look for that if you don't know.
