Long time no blog. After staring at the computer all day at work the last thing I want to do is get online again at home. I have been missing the blog community and thought I would try to blog once a week starting in January. Well now it is March. I really want to get back into this. I enjoy all of the blogs, the hops, and there is so much wonderful inspiration out there. Here is what I have been doing since my last post back in October.
Beaquilter had a fun block swap. We each had to make 12 blocks and we received 12 in return. Here are the ones that I did.
Around Christmas time my co-workers found out that I sew and started asking me to do things for them. Here are 2 Christmas Tree Skirts that I did for the first time and no pattern.
I think I did pretty good J I had measurement help from Hubby. Then another co-worker asked me to make a one panel curtain into a two panel curtain. My Husband and I learned to knit (yes He, my hubby) he is now knitting more than me ha ha. He said it is relaxing and I agree. So then I had another request from a co-worker to make scarves, then another, and another.
All of this at Christmas time ugh. I just need to learn to say no sorry I can’t do that. Of course I had to make scarves for family gifts too.
I really like Mollie Makes and issue #28 has this doll pattern and instructions so I had to make it for my daughter for Christmas.
Then I volunteered to make two love quilts to be shipped to Africa by April. Here is the first one, not quilted yet.
Today I am working on the second top.
I am almost done and then have to quilt both of them.
Then last week I taught myself to crochet. It's not great, but my first crochet project.
See, that's why I haven't been blogging ha ha. Ut oh. I think I am now Kraft Krazy. Not a bad thing!
