One holiday down a few successful crafts done, some cute spiders and ghosts I might say. Now the biggie looms ahead. Yes I am referring to Christmas. I need to quickly get my act together and my fingers a working. Before I even think of New things to make I need to finish those I didn't last year.
- I started 'Lil R's stocking, it is a stocking but it is still lacking his name on it. That is a high priority.
- In the after xmas sales we bought a lot of women ornament picture frames to paint and put in pictures of 'Lil R for the family.
- Also bought in those same sales are a few cross-stitch decorations to finish.
Other items to be made that only exist as ideas are:
- Paper fireplace to put on the wall to 'hang' the stockings above for the kids.
- Amigurumi decorations, a snowman, reindeer, Santa
- Loads of others I haven't thought of yet.
Anything anyone else is planning to make specifically for the holidays? I'm always looking for more ideas.
Hi how are you?
ReplyDeleteI was looking through your blog, and I found it interesting, and inspiring to me, so I thought why not leave you a comment.
I too have a blog that I use out of Southern California here in San Diego.
Mostly it is a collection of artistic expression, and I have many friends with the same interests, maybe you can become my friend, and follow, and I can also follow you, if that is okay.
Well I hope to hear from you soon, and or read about you….LOL
Sincerely,
Jesse
What in the world is Amigurumi? Never heard of it before. I am trying to decide what crafts (if any) I am tackling this year. It has been such a tiring and emotionally difficult year for me that I may just not try to do too much.
ReplyDeleteI gave up on crafts this year. I usually make quite a few gifts, but I didn't even bother this year. I'm barely keeping my head above water with this toddler and baby business. Hopefully next year I can get back in the swing of things.
ReplyDelete@Tracy -Amigurumi is a style of crochet that was started by the Japanesse. It means cute little thing or something similar. It's a fairly simple style and is used to make critters, dolls, etc.
ReplyDeleteUpdate: At this point all I've gotten done is the tree skirt and the baby's stocking. I'm so behind.
