What have you been working on? Anything you finished? Any pictures? Any problems/questions/vents/etc?

I got my fabric for a tank top, washed it, etc, only then realizing I never got thread to go with it. SMH. So that is as far as that has gotten as I just picked up thread yesterday evening.

The fabric/sewing components to LO's Halloween costume are almost done. Thankfully when I was buying thread for the tank top mentioned above, I realized I didn't have thread for the collar so I was able to grab that while there. I have been quite pleased with how it has been coming together and can't wait to see LO in the finished product!

I picked back up on crocheting a dish cloth a tiny bit as a few more of my old ones have bit the dust, so I really need at least 2 more to get me through between laundry days.

Well, both kids are officially back at school fully tomorrow, so my craft time is back! I got another teeshirt rope toy done for the puppers, but, that's all. It's on tomorrow, but, I have to do both DD's drop off and pick up (and DS's, as part of it) to get her first day pics, so I won't have a ton of time until Friday. And then I'll probably spend it staring at a wall trying to prioritize.

We stayed home one day over the weekend so I worked on prayer shawl 2.0. I'm to the point where the yarn ball is so small that I keep crocheting faster.

I also started a 10 stitch blanket about a week ago so I'm ready to work on that full time. Silly CMA studying getting in my crafting way....

I've been feeling a lot better, although I'm still tired all the time, so was able to do a little crafting this week. I made a few things for birthday gifts (again) - a personalized kid cup (forgot to get a picture), some personalized totes (I made 3 but forgot to take a picture before I gifted it), and some Star Wars shirts. The R2-D2 and C-3PO shirts were for my son, and the Darth Vader shirt was for my son's friend. I made a Hexie Bottom Bag/Bucket and got all the pieces cut and glue basted for a Hexie Box.

I just finished a bunch of stuff for a friend's baby, arriving any day now: several bibs, a roll up changing mat, a quilt, and a knitted Viking hat. I am waiting to find out what the baby's name is and his birthdate so I can personalize a label for the quilt. I tried to get my daughter to model the hat for me but she is very anti wearing hats these days.

Next I'll continue work on a queen sized quilt I am making on commission, and also sew a dress for my daughter.

Just finished LO quilt and embroidered a bib for grandma. Not much since I am out of town most of the week.
Not a very good pic but LO loved playing in it. This was before I sewed on the binding. Got that down late the night before we left.

Looks great! Did you trace on the quilting Pattern?

I'm about to work on some curtains for our living room. We have a bout ten windows. I want to try reupholstering a wingback I have in the house as an accent chair.

Welcome to the board! I am about to finally start marking and cutting the fabric to reupholster my sofa. I bought out the fabric I need and am short less than a yard, so I am patiently/impatiently waiting for the store to reopen in a couple weeks (it has been closed for a month and a half or so, starting just a bit after I bought the first batch of fabric). In the meantime, I can at least start on the cushions. It will be my first time reupholstering something of this level of detail and such.
