How about a what I'm working on craft thread for this week?

This week? Lots of cutting fabric pieces for a few marathon sewing days. I have bags, pot holders, can cozies and a few other things to make by Dec 13.

In between sewing, I'm currently knitting a cowl, two different socks, and a hat, all of which are orders. I also have a few ornaments I need to knit up along with even more socks, hats and cowls for Christmas gifts.

I haven't gotten started yet. I did my last craft show last weekend, so any crafting up to that point was for them. I'm currently working on a couple of ruffle scarves that were orders. I have a couple ideas running through my head, but I don't know if I'm going to have time to do them this year. Christmas is just coming too fast!

I am making Christmas cards and paining ceramic Christmas houses.

I'm making Nightmare Before Christmas ornaments. I'm just drawing the characters onto ornaments. The Jacks are coming out great. Logitech a Boogie and the Mayor look ok. I'm not liking Sally.

I helped my daughter make a baby quilt for her friend's baby shower today.  It is really cute.  I forgot to take a pic if it before my daughter wrapped it.  

I've been helping DD make a variation of these: Hand Print Snowman Ornaments

She's having such a blast with them that she made a "how to" video and made me post it on my FB so others could learn how to make them. 

Christmas cards

I don't have photos either. Although I posted on on Canadianscrappers christmas thread the paper wreath I did last week, but my project this week- is a chipboard book for my sister. She just had her 2nd girl last Sunday. I just got the chipboard pages covered today. Waiting for ink for printer from Amazon today.

Well not really crafty but I have been working on house projects. I cleaned and sealed our patio table with four coats of sealer and am calling it done. I also spray painted four chairs and a table for our deck. I need to paint the undersides tomorrow and add one more coat to the table. The painting has been on my to do list for over a year and I love how it is turning out and so much easier than I thought. It just takes a lot of time in between coats and pieces as I only have room to paint one at a time.

So after I finish that tomorrow I need to steam some new drapes and then hem them. Four panels. I am not looking forward to it but can't wait for it to be done. These are things I want to finish up before we host thanksgiving.

I am hoping to find some time to edit some photos so I can print them this week and I need to do some digital pages so they can be printed then I can start some fun stuff. I have calendars to make, Christmas cards, Christmas ornaments, photo album then putting together three albums with the digital pages. I already have the scrapbooks but just know there is no way I will finish traditional pages for so many scrapbooks in time. Then I want to make some more Christmas tags and maybe a few pages for my albums and a couple more small projects for Christmas presents.

I also uncovered a cowl I started last year and need to find the pattern so I can finish it up. I also have some of the fun ruffle yarn to make a few scarves. So many projects and so little time.

I love seeing and hearing about what everyone is working on.

I want to make some of those draft dodgers things for my doors and windows, but I don't have a sewing machine and I can't remember how to use one.

Those socks look so comfy! A dumb question, but what is "spinning?"

My son's girlfriend wants to try arm knitting. We watched a thirty minute YouTube video of it last night. I bought the yarn today. Your arms turn into the needles and it looks pretty similar to regular knitting. We are going to make infinity scarves using the really thick [HASH]6 yarn. Think we will do it next weekend.

I just finished a winter themed glass ornament wreath for a charitable auction at work. It's in blue, silver and white, with a cardinal and small red ornaments intended to evoke winter berries. Even buying all the supplies on sale and with coupons, it cost about $70.00 to make. I doubt anyone will bid close to that because I've seen inexpensive plastic ornament wreaths everywhere so far this season. Until I realized that, I had planned to make another one for the same auction in traditional Christmas colors with vintage style Shiny Brite ornaments. I can't decide whether or not to go forward.

That sounds interesting. Do you buy wool fiber in a fabric or craft store? And does that machine have a foot peddle that spins it? If it does, I think I've seen it before, but really never knew what it did.

I must sound dense, but it's intriguing, lol.
