WIP 2/17

[cam]

What have you been working on? Getting as much crafty time as you would like? Any upcoming projects you are excited for?

[cam]

My crafting time has mostly been spent on mending and basic alterations. I did get some time to work on selecting paint colors for a painting I want to do, and I just need to see if a canvas that didn't get used on a previous project - the leftover from a bundle - is the size I need for this project (I know I have one that is probably close to the right size, so hopefully it is right so I can get it used up plus bonus of saving money). I finalized the design for a sewing machine apron with tool sleeve and such, but I ran out of time for getting to the craft store to see if I could find a complimentary fabric to pair with the one I have already. Looking forward to both of those projects. Wish I had a bit more crafting time, but a lot of it has gone towards reorganizing the house lately.

I also made another game for LO, just need to cut it out, laminate it, then cut again.

I feel like my crafting time is always in too short bursts to really get anything done very quickly.

Which means I have a few WIPs on the run at the moment and am getting a bit impatient about wanting to get them finished.

I'm still working on baby's Noah's Ark cross stitch but have accepted these kinds of projects tend to take a while so I'm ok about that hanging around - for now.

A project I'm more keen to keep moving on is baby's Rocket Boy quilt so last night I finally got around to ironing the backing and front and basting it, ready for quilting. I'm hoping to start that tonight.

I'm also in the middle of knitting the second sock in my latest pair I'm knitting.

And I have the fabric all out and ready to go to make a One Hour Basket for baby's nappy basket.

And lastly I have a crochet blanket that I'm in the middle of for babies room but I can't see it being finished until after he's arrived.

And that list doesn't even include all the other projects that I've got lined up wanting to start next!

My Craft ADHD is in full swing with me right now!!

craftcrazymama, I feel you on the not enough time, craft ADHD, and long list of planned projects. The rate of growth of my list is far greater than my rate of completion.

I started quilting my nephews quilt. I had marked out with a stencil one row i the middle as a start Monday night. Then I tried to start last night. The air fade marker I had used already faded too much to work it. I abandoned that plan and am doing loose waves to quilt. This might be a terrible mistake. I may be a permanent stitch in the ditch quilter after this experiment.
