Hi Happy Crafters! I feel as if I am in a bit of a rut.
I haven’t accomplished much in the past couple of weeks. I posted several swaps
in the mail and I did complete my interpretation of “mother nature” Dotee doll
for a swap-bot swap. When I think mother nature, the word that comes to mind is
pure. I call her “Purity”. I have to work on my Halloween Dotee for a swap. I
am still hashing out ideas in my mind on that one. I also have a sock cast on
my knitting needles and it should be done this weekend. I just want to get this
sock complete no matter how many mistakes I have made. The second sock will be
much better! I have had fun knitting this. I enjoy knitting quite a lot. I can’t
knit very fast like I do with crochet. I also made a lanyard to attach my small
pair of scissors. I have this problem with them always falling into the crack
of my chair. I use them quite often when crocheting and changing colors. I made
it like a really long necklace and it is all beaded and pretty. I love it and
it works just like I thought it would. They hang around my neck and are always
there when I need them and no more trying to find them in the crack! Everyone
should have a beautiful beaded lanyard for your snips. I have a chevron
Razorback colors baby blanket almost complete on my hook for my grandson that
is coming around December the first. I have in mind to sew some project bags
this weekend. I see so many cute ones out there and I know I can sew and make
my own. I picked up some stuff to make cute little beaded pulls for the bags. I
need cute material for these so I will be out on the hunt for that. Thank you
to my cousin Debbie (the absolute best seamstress/quilter I know!) for
introducing me to quilt shops that have the most fabulous material! I have to
design a couple of squares for a swap with Arkansas in mind. My swap partner, who
is from the UK, for this is putting together a USA blanket with her son who is physically
disabled and is getting a bit board on school break. They
are collecting squares from people from each state for this blanket along with
a post card. I love this idea! I will send as much information of the old “Fort
Smith” and hanging Judge Isaac C. Parker (True Grit) and since the trail of
tears is literally crosses my front yard, I will put some information and
pictures in the package. I think I will create a square with the state shape
and name and maybe one with a razorback. That is all I have for now.
Happy Crafting!
Cindy
