Weekend Craft Extravaganza!!!

 Leaving my weekends open to just create is working out good.  I got a lot done this weekend and I would like to make a goal of finishing 3 things every weekend but that may be pushing the envelope!  LOL!

I did finally finish the carrots....ta da!............here they are in all their carroty goodness.........the pattern says you can "rag up" the edges but it looked like a lot of work when eventually their raw edges will "rag up" on their own.   They were a fun project.... 

I'm not sure if I posted this before but it was in a pile of things I wanted to finish so here it is.....if I've shown this before I apologize........

I also finished the potholder...again...I had to do it over as their directions made it stretch out.  I won't be following their directions anymore....it came out fine the way I did it...........

I also found a little cross stitch that I did many years ago...you can tell it's dated by the subject....these were all over cross stitch patterns back in the day.....I had never final finished it but I did today........this is a little Springtime goose.........it's amazing what you find when you clean your house....

Those were all the finishes for this weekend but I did work on Cross Stitch Camp Badge yesterday.....
 
and Melisa's  (Pinker and Punkin blog) patriotic Chickens today...........I haven't stitched any of the chickens yet but they're coming soon!

That's all for this weekends crafty goodness!  What did you get up to this weekend?

Happy Trails!!!

I love all the completions but the carrots are my favorite! I think it is a terrific idea to dedicate your weekends to crafting. You really are accomplishing a lot.

I think all of your finishes are so wonderful, even the goose! :-) I remember when they were so popular in country kitchens. But, I think they may be coming back. I'm starting to see them again.
Our weekend has mostly been about Mom. She's had a rough time. Every few weeks she seems to be more confused than normal. Then she settles back into the "normal" but it's never quite back to where she was. It's hard on us too, but I feel so bad for her because she just doesn't understand.
So, I've done a couple of rounds on my crochet wheelchair blanket and that's it.
Hopefully the next few days will be better. I hope your week is a wonderful one Sam.
Blessings,
Betsy

Those carrots are cute. How will you display them? I remember when those geese were all the rage. Yours is so sweet. Nice potholder too. Pumpkin Spuce Farm us perfect for this fall. You do excellent work. I line the different ways you finish them too. Not all wall decor.

I decorated my kitchen in the geese a very long time ago. I still have a set of dishes:)

The carrots really are cute! Now I want to make some. 😊 and that pumpkin spice farm stitch is beautiful. I remember those geese! You paired it with the perfect fabric. It's nice to be able to pull a project up from the past and finish it. 🩷
