WIP 12/2

You know the drill.

GTKY: Did you, are you, or will you be making any holiday decor and/or gifts this year? Are you on track with where you want to be?

I finished my nephews quilt top but I have to put some effort into floor pillows for the kids before Christmas so it's really up in the air how much I can get done further than that before Christmas.

I will be gifting a couple of my pottery bowls but haven't made much beyond that. The 3 quilts I did kind of killed any extra time for gifting through the year.

Mostly a lurker here but I thought I'd chime in this week.

I have my own sewing business, so right now I'm basically working on projects for other people to give as gifts. I've got a couple of tag blankets to make for one lady and some doll clothes for another. I finally got my new work tables moved into my sewing room so hopefully I can get a lot done this week (as long as the baby cooperates..).

I'm pretty sure the only gifts I will be making this year are 2 shutterfly calendars, one for MIL and one for my stepdad. I just don't have the time or motivation to do much more than that.

This is the first time in a while that I've had some FOs to contribute! Morning sickness (all day sickness in my case) kicked my butt this pregnancy and that paired with extreme tiredness has completely limited my crafting time or inclination.

But I have finally finished a few things over the past few weeks including this vintage style patchwork quilt



And baby girls kiddy vertebrae sweater



Also finished a couple of scrapbook pages and a knitted blanket for DDs doll crib.

GTKY: I really wanted to make a tree skirt but haven't been able to find the materials I want. I want to embroider a vintage grey railway blanket and then crochet the hem but nothing has come up on our local trade sites since I decided that.

I may make DD a Santa sack if I get time. She already has a stocking but I want a Santa sack for her medium sized presents.

Currently working on a collage of wine labels for the dining room. Started this before I got pregnant and am just now finishing. I had saved a dozen or so wine labels from before the pregnancy, the rest are labels from bottles my husband or friends have drank over the past few months.

No plans on making any Christmas gifts or decorations this year. This year everyone is getting something from a store.

Here is the sewing machine cover that I didn't get around to posting last round. It is on a different machine than the one I made it for, so it is a bit loose, but you get the idea. Also in the photo is a reversible pillow cover (I wasn't 100% finished obviously).


Here is the reverse of the pillow. This is the "gag gift" side because the person joked about wanting cheetah print for the upholstery in his new camper. The pillow is actually finished for this photo.

I made a pattern for a shirt for myself and got the fabric washed, but I didn't get around to starting it yet. I finalized the design for MH's vehicle cover and started cutting fabric, but I was hoping to have finished it by now. Not enough hours in the day.

GTKY: I may have to whip up some stockings if I don't find ours soon. I am making an equipment cover for my FIL. That is surely all I will have time for.

I finished a scarf for my sister and am working on her hat! Both are crochet.

I'm still working on the ninja turtle hats! I'm hoping to get a lot done this weekend and next week after school!

GTKY: so far I've made a scarf, cowl and a couple hats. Still working on hats and ornaments. I'll also make a lot of holiday cookies!

Im working on two wreaths, trying a new technique and i just want to say how much I HATE florist wire. The technique is easy, but damn i hate wire.

GTKY: i finished our christmas tree skirt. I tried making a felt ornament. It really didnt come out bad for my first time sewing, but im hoping i can come up with something better.

I was going to do crafts and then life happened.

I'm not seeing gifts being made this year. I wish I had decided to make an Advent calendar sooner so that DD could have used it this year.
