May Crafting

[cam]

What have you been up to? What do you have planned for this month, or the start of it anyway? Anything you want to show off? Any help you need?

I can't believe it is May. I know it is May, but I still looked at a calendar to confirm because it just didn't seem like it could possibly be real. Lol. My April was basically nonexistent since I was sick the entire month.

I did manage to finally get a bit of crafting in, though I still have a ways to go on getting caught back up on household tasks, so progress on projects is still slow. I'm almost ready to print magnets for the dry erase calendar I got. I made magnets for holidays, activities, weather and temperature, etc, as well as the numbers and such.

Also worked a bit here and there on the designs for various components of LO's Halloween costume. I know it is early, but I am slow, plus I need to watch for deals of supplies.

I have the design done for a shirt I need to embroider, just need to transfer it to the shirt and get to work.

I'm working ahead on birthday/christmas presents, as much as I can until this baby arrives (since I know I won't get much done after!). Next on my list is some kid aprons.

Eeep. Maybe I'll finish up two granny square blankets that I started as Christmas presents, for Mother's / Father's day gifts? oops >.< lol

That reminds me of fabric I bought to make my mom a dressy tank top that can be worn under a cardigan or something. I had considered making it for her for Christmas but didn't even try because I knew I wouldn't have finished in time. I hadn't even had a chance to think about the fact that Mother's Day is coming up, but maybe I can squeak it out quick (probably would take less time than actually going shopping by the time I think of a gift to buy, find it, and get it). Thanks for inadvertently helping me!

I wish I could craft. I'm working on Shutterfly photo books from the last 18 months. My goal is to have them done by the 50% off Sale they have each Thanksgiving, lol. Does that count?

I'm still working on my canvas/ stencil. I was on vacation, so I couldn't get to it. Hopefully this weekend.

@mommatotwo, I think shutterfly books count. I did one in March.

I got stressed yesterday so I made DS a ring sling. He loves it!
