What have you been working on? Anything to show off?

LO came down with a cold on Friday, then so nicely shared it with me. Needless to say, I have not accomplished as much as I would have liked. I made good progress with LO's birthday cake design. I also picked up most of the supplies I will need to make his cake (plus a few extra things I couldn't pass up) - impression mats, cutters, sculpting tools, pearl dust, gum-tex, etc. I have tested out most of it and worked out my technique to a satisfactory level (I even came across some fondant on clearance for $2 for a pound to practice on). LO has been having fun helping too. I was driving myself crazy trying to find the right size of circle cutters for what I needed, then I thought to check through my stuff just to be sure I didn't have something that would work. I discovered the bag-end of a larger icing tip was exactly one of the sizes I needed, the bag-end of a regular size icing tip was perfect for another size I needed, and the tip-end of I think my size 12 icing tip was close enough to the third size I needed that I called it good. I still have a few things to test out, and I need to get some lumber for the structure. I also need to see if anyone makes white cotton candy that I would be able to get when it comes time to do the real cake (otherwise figure out an alternative).

Other than the cake stuff, I finally altered a dress that has been bugging me for waaaay too long. I made LO a bean bag (actually with rice though because it was a spontaneous project and rice is what I had on hand). I also mended a few things for MH.

I think I got 10 rows done on prayer shawl 2.0. And spent a bunch of time looking through Pinterest for my next project. I have a bunch of rainbow yarn that I want to turn into a knitted baby blanket, but I'm having issues finding a blanket pattern that I *love*.

I don't know what's going on, but I have absolutely no motivation right now. I printed and cut templates for a project, and that's it. Hopefully I'll have an actual project to share next week.

I'm crocheting a Jedi Robe for my daughters 1 month photoshoot. Hopefully I get it done.

A thanksgiving wreath!



My mom and sister helped me with a tie blanket too to get it done more quickly... but no pic yet.

I can't come up with a single crafty thing I've done all week- NOTHING. School starts next week and I'll (probably, let's be honest here- I am not awesome at sticking to plans) start on some of the fall-ish clothes I've planned for the kids.
