Introduction + Days 1-6

[zabe]

My name is Elizabeth; I participated last year, but completely forgot about it this year. I do various sorts of needlework (mostly cross-stitch right now) and some beadwork (mostly peyote-stitch bracelets, but I recently branched out into a new sort of bracelet). I do a little something crafty most days; I started a full-time day job a couple of months ago, which limits my crafting time a little.

Days 1-3:
I finished this Cane-Back bracelet from the most recent Quick + Easy Beadwork. This was my first foray into non-peyote beadwork, and I mostly enjoyed it (I had some issues in the beginning and at the end). I had it everything except the three rows at the ends and the loop and toggle finished at the end of September and had the whole thing finished by the third.


Days 4-6:
This is 99 by Ink Circles, which I started in January 2017 and will finish someday. This is the sixth row (66 bottles). I was about a quarter into the shelf at the beginning of the month and did a little each day; I find the shelf tedious.


Day 6:
I realized that I ought to take advantage of everyone else being out of town and work on a Christmas card (I live with the recipient and mostly work on things in the evening family time). I'm going to see if I can get it finished by Wednesday evening. I had some of the lower right ornament finished in September and worked on it a bit more. I was probably around a third of the way through it when I realized it was misplaced, so it had to come out. I haven't redone as much of it as I had done at the beginning of the month.

Days 6 and 7

I've only been working on the Kiwi right now. At some point, I have about a billion WIPs I'd like to get some work on in this month. But new projects are just so shiny!
