WIP 3/2

[cam]

What have you been working on? Anything to show off?

I made my ironing board cover. I'll try to add a photo after I get it cinched up tight, which will hopefully be later today once I get the catcher finished up and attached (a thread catcher, clip holder, scissor holder). I've made progress on the coordinating sewing machine apron with tool caddy. I made a game for LO. As I was cutting the pieces apart, he was looking at them, and somehow one vanished by the time I got the rest apart. I swear we have a blackhole, or maybe more like a wormhole (probably both). Lol. I made some tags with crochet hook sizes so I can clip them to projects to help me remember what I was using on it. As usual, more baggies. They have turned out useful for so much more than I initially planned them for, so I'll be making more for a while.

I finished up the quilting and started binding my nephews quilt. I am so eager to be done. My craft room desperately needs a cleaning, there is red threads everywhere. I should have a pic for next week (of the quilt).
I've also been working on DS's birth announcement, finally. I have had the hardest time getting moving on it.

I turned my craft room into this:

Sadly I only completed a single card. I just keep pushing works in progress to the side to do start another work in progress.

How do you ladies squeeze in time to work on so many completions?

I finished a pair of knitted socks that had been hanging around on my project list.



Have now started some newborn versions for baby boy.

Also started cutting out the pieces for a memory bunny for DD from one of her first onesies. She had a really lovely plush winter one I'm using and I can't wait to make it up into something she can treasure.

MsNicole06, Bah ha ha , completions. I have a pair of socks I have been knitting for 8 months, a scrapbook of my honeymoon that I've only completed 4 pages of, a stack of knitting and sewing patterns to tackle and a houseful of auction crap my deceased H bought that I have to get rid of (there is so many more half started projects too). All while working full time with 2 littles.


Finish what you can when you can, even if it's sneaking in 10 min a day.

I made a tutu for my niece! I'm so excited for my SILs shower in two weeks!



Still finishing up her blanket. Have one more tutu to make and a couple scarves.

MsNicole06, I definitely go in streaks with my crafting time. Most of my completions this week, for example, were projects that happen to all get finished at once but that had been ongoing for some time. Also, baggies are easy, so they up my counts. I cut a bunch at once, then they only take a few minutes each to sew together. The sewing machine apron has been designed, then redesigned a few times, during the past several months. The game, I laid out on the computer weeks ago then never got around to just printing, cutting, laminating, and cutting again until this last week. Designing is much easier for me to squeeze in. Cutting fabric is one of my hardest as I do the larger pieces on the floor, in which case, Dog2 is pretty much guaranteed to try to curl up in my way at least half a dozen times, LO will step on it just when I get the fabric all smoothed out and straight, etc. Lol. It helps to have materials on hand so that when I do finally get a few minutes here and there, I can jump on it, as I likely wouldn't have time to run to the store AND actually do anything with the materials all in one shot. My time is not at all predictable as to when I can squeeze in crafting time.
