nothing creative lately...

thanks to still not having my craft table fixed and set up, and life getting crazy with a new job and schedule/routine. i made some super cute skirts for the maid costumes for our school's performance of Annie Jr. but i didn't get pictures of them. they turned out really good. next up on my project list is an appliqued "owl" apron for a friend at my old school. i would like to start something there where a portion of my profit goes toward "relay for life", but we'll see how things go.

i'd like to do a few knitting and sewing projects before the holidays, but not sure what to do or how to squeeze it in. i need to think about things i can do. i have been looking for fabrics for my daughter's room, which she shares with her little brother. i want it to be something that she loves, but something that can coordinate with what i am doing with his stuff (which is still dr. seuss).

been awhile...

life has gotten in the way of my creative side, but i'm working on it...

we have recently moved and i still need to set up my sewing/craft area. cooking is definitely been my creative outlet lately...i'll update and put up some stuff soon...

lots to do...wowza!

so here is my short list of things to do:
1. sew cushion and arm covers for loveseat and sofa ("pleather" is wearing out and ripping...had to tape rips because repair epoxy no longer works)
2. make 4 oblong pillows for above furniture
3. re-cover kitchen chairs
4. embellish 3 aprons with "owl" motifs
5. make "owl" throw for e's teacher (new year's gift)

other projects on my "do soon" list:
1. make stacking cans and beanbags for toddler
2. knit 2 throws for family room (one each for sofa and loveseat)
3. make juice can stilts
4. re-cover rocker/glider cushions
5. repair/paint cedar chest and country bench chest
6. organize sewing area now that it is finally set up in the front room

my crafty goals for the coming year are to begin sewing clothing items for the fam, begin making gifts for next christmas, knit and crochet more, and enjoy it!
