WIP Wednesday - 3/18

[sarahsews]

I've been MIA for the past 2 weeks, but I stopped by to post the WIP thread. 

What is everyone working on?  What did you finish last week?  Pictures please!


Also, I saw people were asking about how to post pictures from Flickr.  cmeon explained a way, but I have another one that seems a little simpler:

• View one of your photos in Flickr
  
• Click on the download arrow icon and select "View all sizes"
  
• Click on the size you want (usually "Medium 500" or less is good), right-click on the image and select "Copy Image Location"
• Back here in proboards, select the image icon and paste the path in the Image URL field.

I haven't sewn in 2 weeks and I'm going through withdrawl. TONIGHT that will change, though. I'm going to start making a dress for my friend's daughter. Full, ruffly, with a Frozen theme.

Here's the fabric:

I am working on an Easter cross stitch! I hope I can finish before Easter. After that I will be making a crochet blanket for DH.






I can't wait to see the finished product sarahsews,

[cmeon]

I've sewn up a bunch of dumpling bags (they are so quick and cute) and finished glazing my load of high fire stuff. I think it will go in tomorrow- fingers crossed!

We're printing up a jointed robot toy with our new 3-d printer right now. She (along with many more things, we got a huge roll- ha) is made of glow in the dark PLA. We're about halfway done. I'm making dog cookies with the bone we printed when we got it last week, haven't had a chance to try that yet. Spring break starts Friday, so one more day to work on non-kid stuff before that business.

I'm not working on anything. Everything I wanted to start on I had to stop because I was missing some component or another. I'm a haphazardous crafter.

I'm going to go to Michaels later to get some 2.75 dpns with my 40% off coupon and then hopefully I'll be starting some socks!

I am still working on my first crochet blanket, I have 3 squares left to make (tonight hopefully) then I can start joining!

I'm currently still working on my HST quilt. Well not actively working on it since I'm waiting on fabric, but it's on the floor ready to keep going with.

I am also still working on my kiddy vertebrae cardy for DD (got distracted finishing my hat) and have picked up my Hello Sun quilt blocks to finish off.

FOs for last week:

I made a quick wee knitting tote out of some of my left over HSTs and some other scraps


I also finished my Rikke Hat last night. I was so pleased to get it done because I realised I might be slightly short on yarn but I made it to the end with a tiny scrap to spare.

I'm not actively working on anything right now. I have a few planned upcycle projects but have been waiting for the weather to cooperate so I can spray paint. It's either been too cold or damp/raining during my free time.

I have been eying to pick up cross stitch, but there are no local craft stores so I'm putting that off until I can make a trip to Hobby Lobby or JoAnns. I was inspired after checking out MadApple's etsy store.

I need to feed my craft habit...it's been too long lol.

Last week was even busier than usual, so not a lot of crafting got done. My zippers arrived, so I was briefly able to get back to sewing toy baggies. I finished up a plan for a wiggle board for LO. I did an initial draft of a plan for a guest bed that doubles as a craft table, but I have a few rough ideas as options for the mechanisms that will allow for moving parts that I need to evaluate (figure out which will best fit my vision and be most cost effective) before doing a final detailed plan. That is the extent of my sad progress.

GUYS!!!!! I have finally conquered the baby hat I've been working on!!!!!!!! Thanks to the chart that @thiscrazylifeilove posted I think it's the right size. See photo for cuteness.

Yes, HIS name is Dave.  And yes, he makes an excellent hat model.

[negirl824]

mustloveerica, that hat is so cute! and so is the cat

It's been a crazy few weeks at our house (stomach flu, strep throat, teething), so I missed last week's check in. I made a few things for swaps recently - a cross stitched pin cushion, a project pouch for an embroidery hoop, a mushroom needle minder, a mushroom necklace, an embroidered initial necklace, and a button and bead hoop. For myself, I hand made a Pi cookie cutter. I'm super proud of it.


This week, I have another swap package I need to put together; I have an idea for a mixed media hoop for this one. I also want to make a bunch of needle minders for my first Instasale on Instagram.

Well ladies, the majority of my blanket is done! I'm an idiot and didn't weave in my ends as I was going along, so I've been doing that for the last week. Rookie mistake. You can see a few ends left to weave in, otherwise it's just the border left!! I'm so excited to almost be done!!

As a math nut, I love the cookie cutter. Great job on it also; it looks amazing.

[MadApple]

Thanks cam! It took a lot more planning and time to make than I thought it would, but it was totally worth it.

I made cookies with it, intending to take them to a Pi Day party, but I tried a new icing recipe and it never set so I couldn't pack them up to take with us. More cookies for me I guess.

I have the blanket version of one sock syndrome right now- I'm grinding but I want to finish so I can move on! (I will also hate myself later for not weaving in ends as I go)

I'm just about done with the birds on a wire panel- just need two more rows of the blue! (Sorry if the pic is huge, I'm on iPad)

[estrellas]

Baby hats. Knitting bunches for the local hospital (60 babies/month), and they're almost all village babies. So hatshatshats.

Thank you! I was a little nervous about how the birds panel would turn out, but I'm so happy I tried it! The technique is really easy, I'm just starting to drag a bit. I like doing granny squares because I feel so accomplished after every square. A single panel blanket doesn't really pay off until the end

I finished a little mandarin style dress for DD sewing little bits during DS's morning nap. She's pretty thrilled with it.
I flipping hate double fold bias tape though!
Almost done the cross stitch, probably will post pics of that next week

*poof*

[sunfrogger88]

I have a tshirt quilt and my tree skirt in progress. Hoping to finish it by mid April so I can start sewing baby things! I teach colorguard 4 days a week plus full time job so....
