Making progress on all fronts. Now, if I could just finish things and not start any new projects but that might be asking too much.
I did finish the grands 2023 Halloween Collectible Ornaments but they need to be final finished. I want to order some 2023 charms to attach to them also..........these were stitched on 10 count fabric and you needed to use 4 strands of floss which was a pain. They were a little more juvenile than I wanted but they will have to do for this year.........next year they will get really creepy and scary ornaments....mark my word!
I am almost done with the body of the Snowy Owl and then on to the head!
I started a new project...yes, I know....so many WIPs already! But in my defense I am making things to hold my yarn and my cross stitch projects......this will be a crocheted basket for a blanket project........I was a little hesitant because it is bulky yarn and a large hook and last time it hurt my hands but this yarn is very soft and easy to work with so it is not a problem........
I finished the wool rug hooked stars and I've steamed them. Now, I need to cut them apart and finish....I also traced the pattern so I could make more in the future if I wanted to.........
I also worked on the prism blanket but it looks the same...just bigger.
I was going to dye some fabric for my big Halloween XS project but I can't find my dye! It seems the more I organize the more I have no idea where things are!?! Oh well, they'll turn up eventually...I hope!
That's all for this week. I've been doing some Fall cleaning and decorating and hopefully next week I will have some final finishes to show you!
Happy Trails!!!
Look at all you did this week craft wise. Those ornaments are cute. I can not imagine using 4 strands of floss! Your snow owl is getting there. Love the stars. Those went quick. Your crochet basket is going to be nice for holding projects.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea to make Halloween ornaments for your grandkids. Baskets are always useful, and fun to make.
ReplyDeleteThe ornaments turned out adorably! I think I suffer from the same organization style that you do. I keep "organizing" but I keep losing things!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sam! Our day was so busy yesterday that I didn't get to visit any blogs. We didn't get home until after 10:30 and I just went to bed! You've gotten a lot accomplished this week. I don't think the ornaments are juvenile. Just simple which is sometimes very good. I think it works here.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
I think the ornaments will be lovingly treasured. Snowy Owl looks exciting. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThe halloween ornaments are super cute. I look forward to seeing how you FFO them. You are coming along nicely on your snowy owl project. I look forward to getting caught up enough to get out my knitting and crochet supplies.
ReplyDeleteYou are making progress! Stay cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the Halloween ornaments and look forward seeing next year's spookier ones. What happens with the stars once you've cut them off. I thought you were going to fill in the gaps with a plain colour so realise I'm not sure what they'll become. Are they mug rugs? Liz
