Days 13-18

[zabe]

I worked on all my current projects at various times, mostly successfully, though I did have one day of continuous problems.

I finished the shelf in 99 (football games are great for sewing) and started the first bottle on the next row, but then I spilled a little of my lemonade on it and want to wash it properly before continuing (I did rinse it at the time). Since it's off the frame, here's what the whole thing looks like:



I worked a little on the temperature bookmark and the Christmas card.

I gave up on everything else and started working on Celtic Bookmark 10 from Artecy again (I'd abandoned it for a while). It's been loose in my bag of crafts, so it's a little wrinkled.



I want to make the bracelet in the lower left of the background magazine, but I can't manage to get it started; I see how it's supposed to come together, but can't get it to work. I have silver two-hole beads and am thinking of using a dark iridescent for the rest.

Day 19

[lavenderspark]

I haven't been good about keeping track of what I'm doing when and this whole week is a just lost. I've been tired with zero motivation for no reason.

But I did make/finish some crafty things this month, so I thought I'd share.

I've wanted to make a Halloween wreath for years. Specifically a Maleficent wreath after seeing a couple online that others had made. This year I finally bought all the items I wanted and put one together.



Unfortunately it's thicker/wider than anticipated and won't allow the outer door to close.

I finally finished the baby blanket I've been working on for a friend. I have to figure out when to get it to her as they'll be moving in a few weeks.



It's only the second blanket I've ever done and the first star.

I don't have anything else I'm working on at the moment. My daughter picked out a costume from the store this year, though I may make her a magic orb (she's going to be a witch) and she wants some creepy make up.

I'm trying to find a pattern for a poncho to make for myself, but can't find one I like.

Days 18 and 19

[ladythmpr]

Still in the midst of post root canal pain. Went to the dentist AGAIN on Thursday. They put in some topical antibiotic, and gave me a rinse. And I've been hitting the major pain killers when I don't have to drive or be alone with the kids. I've still been in level 5-8 pain despite everything, and if it's still this bad tomorrow, I'm calling them again.

Day 18

And the above is the reason I did very little on the kiwi, and then had to frog it twice before I got it right.



Day 19

Tomorrow is my littles' *SEVENTH* birthday! And as I do every year, I baked them cakes from scratch. K chose a blueberry cake with blue colored vanilla frosting, and F chose a pineapple cake with lemon frosting. (their Daddy GB made the frosting, bless him!) I'll probably do some more decorating on the cake tomorrow, but that will have to do for tonight.
