Here's the scoop...






Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

Hi everyone! I haven’t posted in a while. I have been very busy crafting away!

On the Home Front:
Not much progress on the crafting building. Mitch (the husband) has been working in Georgia. I can never say that without singing the song! Lol My only Granddaughter Elle is 2 years old today and we will be celebrating her birthday this weekend. That being said, I doubt much gets done on the building this weekend. I have been crafting items for her birthday! Rip the rescue dog bit Mitch this last weekend. The dog trainer has yet to set up a time for our first meet. I hope this happens soon because Rip’s aggression is getting worse.

Mail for me:

I received a swap from Finland which included native Finland blueberry tea, dried blueberries, some blue variegated fingering weight wool, and beautiful blue stitch markers. It was fantastic. I received some hot chocolate from England. Yummm yummm! My yarn I ordered to create something Outlander inspired came! It is wonderful!

What’s in my ears:
My two favorite podcasts Ross smellgreatguy and Josh swordofaknitter and CHRISTMAS MUSIC! I listen to AccuRadio http://www.accuradio.com/#!/more/accuholidays/

On and Off my Needles:

I haven’t knitted much on the second sock because I completed Kay Jone’s Mrs. Bakery Bear! Well she is still naked because I am working on the clothes right now. This was a fun knit! I still have the hitchhicker shawl cast on and I have knitted some on it. I have am participating in the goatalong in smells like yarn group on Ravelry. I have found a knit pattern of a goat and I need to cast this on.

On my Hook:

No progress here! I still have a chevron Razorback colors baby blanket to complete.
 
Swap Obsessions:

I am hosting a Thankful Thanksgiving Dotee swap on swap-bot and I am hosting a “12 Days of Christmas” Dotee Swap for December which I mentioned to ya’ll in an earlier post. I will be doing an Instagram square swap for September on Ravelry and a scavenger hunt swap. I am just swapping 4 squares with someone in California for the global square exchange. I think that is it.
 
On the Sewing Front:

I have made so many project bags! Finding and buying the cute material is so fun! I love making these along with the cute zipper pulls I put on them. I made a couple along with some stitch markers so my friend could add to a prize for a giveaway on the knit-along. Of course I had to make him a bag to keep and some stitch markers to keep. He can choose what he wants give the other away. I think I forgot to take pictures of the stitch markers. For Elle’s birthday. I have sewn a tutu dance bang with her name embroidered on it. I have sewn a baby doll diaper bag and a bunch of baby doll diapers. I filled the bag with all kinds of stuff for a baby doll.

If I just didn’t have to work for money, I could get so many crafts completed! Until next time…Happy Crafting!

Cindy
