Tues finishes

Found strips forbinding and finished these 3 mugrugs 

Into the stack they go

Not a finish but almost

One variegated yarn cake

Some puff stitches

And i think one more row will do it

So lacy and pretty

Found on hooked by robin

Another finish and a atart

My use it up dishcloth

And a new one on the needles

Small things but finishes just the same

 

Dream weaver

Two more blocks

Yay

So far i have made either 2 or 3 blocks each week for this quilt

Thats a good thing

I am thinking i may want to try a quilt as you go method for these

But not sure

They really need to be next to each other for the woven effect

All those tiny pieces 

What was i thinking

 

Troublemaker

You know when you have a friend.....

And they say wanna make this?

And send you the pattern 

And before you know it......

Fabric flies off the shelf

Ad you cut it up like Edward Scissorhands

Just because you can..... 

And THIS happens......

Love ya Julierose!

You are my new "partner in crime"

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS ONE

this is a sneak peek

Once it is quilted i will share

Its a free pattern from Pat Sloan

Once cut it was easy peasy to sew

Great gifts! Check it out and sew yourself up one or a few

I used fat quarter pieces and scraps

The hardest piece for me was the 4 corners as it is a 10.5 square and you need 2

I really had to hunt for a big enough piece

 

Wanna play?

[

My friend Julierose is playing in her scraps

The itty bitty pieces

The ones i would steal......um rescue from Jackys trash lol

She would get so mad and say i have all this fabric why you taking  trash pieces

I would say its a challenge to sew and because i can lol

Anyhow i sat and pulled bits and bobs outta my container sewing 2x2. Then 4x4 until i had large pieces 

Anything goes

Its scrappy........my happy place

Some skinny

Some fat

All playing nice 

I even used some of my 2.5 squares

Each block is different

Once i sewed a large piece i ironedand cut down to 9.5 inch blocks

The cutoffs start the next one

I am envisioning each block framed with white or gray to unify them and put them into a top

I can see the light at the bottom of the scrap

Container

So much fun. If you have say a lot of scraps in fall colors you could put mostly oranges and then make pumpkins for runners or table topppers

So many ideas.......in the meantime i will continue to sew them 

Wanna play??????
 

Christmas in June

Christmas in June

I was thinking i need to add a  specific day to make certain Christmas gifts 

[

Like my stove towels to finish

And fish potholders 

I need to focus.......

This year is almost half over already

Kind of Like those 12 days of Chrustmas

Or Christmas once a month

Or 12 weeks of Christmas 

Whatever I will decide to make some progress 

Fiber flux website has from i think 2019 the 12 weeksof easy crocheted gifts

She is  right

I had made 2 of the slouchy hats forJacky in a day

And between yesterday and today finished a cute scarf

Used up a partial maroon skein

And made a cute scarf 

I think it is called the everybody scarf

It was in gray but mine is maroon

A nice gift of warmth maybe for the park residents

There are fast hats to do on the site as well

I could make them for caps for kids as well

And pair them up hats,scarves and get mittens or gloves

Its sad how many kids dont have warm things in winter up here

It gets COLD 

Do you make Christmas handmade things?

I think on the list for me will be some of those mod podged plates

Heck now is the time tobuy theplatesfor a dollar  at the dollar store or a little more at Walmart

And of course i have Chrustmas fabric

I think modpodge can alsobe found at dollar tree

How cute would a Christmas plate filled with fudge or cookies be? For neighbors or teachers or bus drivers or Grandparents from kiddos

Sooooomany possibilities

I also want to make more ornaments

The angels were fun last year out of pasta

The cinnamonstick ones were easy too

I may just do on the 25th of the month?

Gives me 7 months or 7 projects

Another fun place to check out on internet is the shabby tree

She does crafts all year long and some blow your mind

She starts with what you need and you go what the heck and when she is done you wanna make 50

Some things are eh

But scroll thru and check her out.you won't regret it

Now she us doing 4th if july stuff but look back at Christmas stuffand her battery operated things.she made an outside fancy looking light for her porch.used dollar tree plastic garden fencing Omg its SO neat

You would never know.looks like wrought iron 

 

A finish of the crochet kind

A scarf called everybody scarf

This  was a partial skein i needed to use up

I had my covid shot and kinda laid low so grabbed  my hook and in no time this was done

Hope you can see the pretty texture

I like it

If i combine it with a fast slouchy hat  will have a nice set 

A finish of another kind
