Crafters: what are you working on?

I'm currently making a blanket for my dad's house and Parker's Halloween costume (cookie monster).  Next is Rowan's costume (chocolate chip cookie).  Then I'm going to make Rowan's Christmas stocking and a tree skirt. Hopefully they will all be done on time :)

Re: Crafters: what are you working on?

  • I've been doing a lot of canning for the holidays. I'm working on a sweater for myself and "reconstructing" tshirts!

  • Loading the player...
  • tons of canning and sock monkeys for Christmas stockings
  • Ugh. I have about a million projects in the works. Jackson's birthday is Oct 18th, so for that I'm making him a felt board with all sorts of 'stories', felt fishing set, and a few other little things. Then I'm making his halloween costume (a duck) but haven't decided what Peyton is going to be. Then working on a million other projects for Christmas, but the above are my immediate priority. Oh, and we're installing board and batten in our entry this weekend and I just spray painted my chandelier!!!
  • My big project right now is a double felt playhouse for my DD.  It was originally a birthday present but didn't get it done so now it's pushed off until Christmas.  Still not even close.  I just have to sit down and do it.  I'm also working on refinishing and painting several pieces of furniture for my DD's big girl room and our dining room.  It's a major chore but I'm loving the results so far.

  • I just finished my friend's business card holder (I know, super exciting, right? lol she needed one). Now I'm packing up all my sewing stuff because we're moving next weekend... at the new place I get my OWN sewing room!!! So I'll be making more.

    Next up I'm making Alaina's costume (ladybug), and a pumpkin dress just for fun. Then I have some cute new corduroy to make her some dresses. I should stop there - I have a list of what's next, but I'll spare you. :)

    This is pretty amazing: https://alphamom.com/family-fun/holidays/last-minute-kids-owl-costume/

     If it were me I'd probably just do a hooded dark brown sweatshirt, add eyes and feathers to the hood part.

  • I need to start a sweater for a friend who just had a baby. I have another half dozen projects on my needles/hooks, including some wool longies for DD, some alpaca gloves for me, a cabled cape for my mom, and a hat for DH. My first craft project ever for DH!
  • Halloween decorations: clear vase with fishnet stockings pulled over and wrapped with some orange ribbon

    Tutu: I'm making a white and ivory tutu for DD to wear.  I'm making her an angel for picture Christmas cards

  • I just finished DD's felt playhouse which she will get at Christmas.  I started making DD's Halloween costume (she is going to be a pumpkin) and her matching candy bag.  After that, I have to catch up DD's scrapbook.

  • Trying to make as many of our christmas gifts as possible this year, so:

    stuffed bear cushions for two friends' daughters; messenger bag for friend's daughter; lunch bags for two cousins and aunt; necktie for uncle; curtain valance, bed pocket, & wall organizer pocket for sister; towel tote for riend; dress for DD1; kite for friend; sweing machine covers for mom and gandma; diaper tote for riend; curtains for friend; reusable snack bags for friend; crochet hat for friend's son; jewelry roll for MIL; dog bed for friend's dog.

    Also doing a bathroom remodel right now and need to make shower curtain for it.

  • I just spent this morning (while battling Braxton Hicks) going through all my UFP and deciding if I'm ever going to finish them, to which I cut out about 50 percent of them (there was about 15 UFP) and dump those.. 

    But what I'm working on now, is a crochet baby blanket for Baby Isaac, and I have his crib bumpers to make also..

  • I have to get started on Eva's Halloween costume (a penguin) and then get moving on Christmas.  I'm making some games for my nieces and a felt tool belt for my nephew.

  • :::sigh:::

    Funny thing to see this post...I was just cleaning up our downstairs and my "craft" area is down there.  I love making cards and jewelry (total newbie at that) and I haven't done either in *months*.  Anyway I got around to reorganizing near my craft stuff and up and decided to make a pair of earrings just for fun....I need to do that more.  Now that I "found" my desk, maybe I will:)
