Day 12

I put in a few rows of gray thread on the cross stitch, to finish the head and start the body of of the creature:

And then we were out and about; I took my knitting bag along. Over the course of the afternoon and evening, I finished another baby hat. (I told you that you would see a lot of baby hats!)

Day 12

I stitched 2 1/2 needles of gray thread in the cross stitch; there's a tail now!

Loved this set of charms and decided to make an all-metal look for it. The large beads are metal, E beads are a gun-metal grey finish, and then it has alternating silver, gold, and copper metallicized plastic cubes. I wanted a blocky look for a building blocks of life theme.

Day 12

I went out for a bit yesterday, and it wore me out more than I thought it would. I got a whole hat knitted while I was out, and started another during our family night, finishing 8 rows.

Day 13

Still tired from yesterday, and I had a bunch of things that needed doing around the house, so I punted my plan for prepping florals and knitted another baby hat instead.

I'm trying to finish up unfinished projects around here (hee!) and one that has been sitting around for a while is a Klämmemacka box from IKEA. I found some brown paint and craft varnish in the stash and have been painting it and varnishing it. It's a long process waiting for coats to dry. I also lost one of the dividers over the years.

If you attempt this project, or plan on buying one, my tip is to give it a light sanding first. I wish I had done this before painting. The little bits of wood get caught in the paint.

I did mention that things are crazy, right? I managed to plug along on the cross stitch anyway.

Day 10

Days 11-12
I forgot to take a picture on day 11, so you get a picture of days 11 and 12

Day 13

Day 14

Day 15
There really wasn't a day 15. I had a bunch of dental work done, and was pretty zonked on pain killers, so I couldn't focus.

Day 12

I wasn't really feeling like doing anything, so I went looking for a latch hook project that I had recently started, because I'm usually able to do latch hook when I'm incapable of doing anything else. I found the yarn, but not the canvas. While I was looking for the canvas, I found a bag of floss (like I knew I would). I got the floss sorted, entered into the spreadsheet, and put away into the appropriate floss box. SO EASY now. Unfortunately, there were a lot of duplicates. Hopefully, the new system will keep me from buying duplicates again.

Day 13

A busy day with kid school wrangling. In between all the denial, I wiped out a DMC box, found all of my embroidery fabric (mostly Aida), and put it into the box drawers. While I was wiping out the drawers, I found a skein of floss hidden underneath one drawer. It was even one I didn't have!

Alas, the drawers are not quite long enough for the tubes to fit properly. However, this will do for now.

I'm having some Not-Productive-Enough-itis, and as a result, I procrastinate.

Day 12

Some work on the #MadXStitchalong

Days 13 and 14

For two consecutive days I got some free time alone (meaning without kids) with my mom. So we went to one of her favorite places to paint ceramics on both days. I'm working on a large bowl. On Day 13, I got the second and third coats of the colors on the bowl. On day 14, I put the first coat of the black lines on the bowl. (I forgot to take progress pictures.)

Day 15

Worked a bit more on the #MadXStitchalong; there was a patch I had to frog, or there would be more done.

I had this idea in my head to make little rocker ornaments for craft sales. It started with designing round ornaments. I played around with some circles and I think I'm on to something!

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.

This past week has been really busy, and I've managed only a little time daily on the kiwi, and nearly all of it has been confetti stitches, and I thought it kind of boring to take individual pics of so little, so you get nearly a week's worth in one picture.

Tomorrow, I'm having a root canal, and I asked for sedation this time, so I don't know if I'll get any crafting done. Wish me luck!

I only worked on 99 the last three days. On the 11th, I replaced the wrong gray with the right one in the first two rows. On the 12th, I replaced the gray in the third row (only the bottom of the next to last bottle, thankfully) finished the next to the last bottle, and did everything but the outline and the white on the last bottle. On the 13th, I finished the last bottle.

I meant to do more last night, but I got distracted by doing my nails (which probably doesn't count as crafting).

Back in May 2016, I did a 30for30crafting challenge (craft 30 minutes a day for 30 days), and as part of that challenge (which I documented on Tumblr and in LJ's

nacramamo), I designed (except for the flower; that was a kit) and hooked some latch hook decor for my kids.

I went so far as to buy some canvas frames to mount them on, and then they sat. I unearthed them in the newest Great Office Unfucking. In the last week of September, I even got the biggest ones glued onto their frames.

And then they sat again, because I've been focused on the Stitchalong. They've been underfoot waiting for a chance to be finished.... and today, I finished framing the ladybug! The canvas frames I found weren't quite the right size (too large), so I found some cloth to cover up the edges.

I'm going to try and finish the other two this weekend.

My birthday was last week but my gift to myself arrived today. I wasn't even going to buy it! Dumb story - my husband wanted a very specific kitchen timer and after driving around to three places to find it, I declared "Ugh! I'll just buy it on Amazon if this saves driving around!"

It didn't qualify for free shipping, but smarty pants Amazon to the rescue. It remembered that I had looked at the Ultra Punch punch needle :) I added that to my cart and we were able to spend the afternoon not running around town :D

It arrived today but I don't think I will get a chance to use it right away. Today I put a UFO to rest, a rainbow hat made on my knitting machine. I was cranking it while watching TV, but now I just want the space back...probably for some different crafting in the future :D
