Tell us what you have going on? Anything to show off?

I got my lumber ripped down to build the structure for LO's birthday cake. Just need to pick up a sheet of chip board or plywood to attach everything to so I can start cutting and assembling.

I came up with solutions to MH's shirt complaints. Need to start carrying out once he goes through and pulls out which need altering.

I am just finishing clipping together the last part of LO's pillow so I can finish that up (hopefully today yet).

I took measurements for a project MH has requested, an equipment cover.

I did a tiny amount of crochet work.

A little work on a lot of things, but at least it is something. That's all I have been able to even think of doing between lack of time and not having access to all my stuff.



To throw in a random... MH joked that I could get rid of my old sewing machine. I of course laughed at him. He told me, "When we find the right house, you are getting your own room for all your craft stuff and your own garage space." I asked why he was saying it like it was a threat as I was not seeing a downside, that it sounded to me like the recipe for a happy marriage.

I cut out and put together another one yard wonder creation. A little garbage bag for my vehicle. It went together super fast! So now I'm cutting out the pieces for my nephews quilt. The pattern is called chocolate covered cherries, it will be very interesting to put together since its quite random, but we'll see how it goes.

I finished DD's birthday dress in time (barely!) and have printed out some more fabric for a quilt- but, it's another busy week with DD's birthday, our 10yr anniversary, and DH's vaca time. I might get on the pottery wheel tomorrow- we'll see.

I'm wrapping up invites, starting to plan and cut banners and decide for the party.

I'm also cutting a bunch of Happy Birthday words for a classroom project.

Someday I'll take pictures

cam I highly recommend a craft room. It makes project working so much easier.

I can imagine. I have my little ironing board and smaller cutting mat set up in a corner of our living room, which is incredibly helpful to not have to drag things out all the time, but many projects require the larger cutting mat or would be not such a PITA if the full size ironing board could be as easy to use too. Our old house had a guest bedroom that I used for projects as well, but that was before I got back into crafting all the time (and before I got more into sewing for things beyond basic mending and such). I miss my old house soooo much. We are in a tiny place right now until we find where we want to be. My office now consists of two shelving units in the basement with everything else in boxes, and my project space is the my little corner of the living room, a spot in the basement for my large rolls of upholstery fabric, and the coat closet that is stuffed with everything else.
