Back at the start of the month I made a little list of crafty things I'd be doing in February. Needless to say, I got distracted by newer shinier things every day, but I'm pleased to report that so far this month (hey, there's 2 days left!) I've completed 5 of the 6 things on my list! And the sixth one is due to start tomorrow! Yay!
I've had quite a laid-back week at work, which has made for some fabulous free time in the evenings; when I'm stressed at work, it usually follows me home & ruins any attempts at making stuff!
I started the week with Alli's sew-along, which has been great so far...knowing you're sewing your first piece of clothing with nearly 40 other people really takes the pressure off! I'll be sure to post an update next week on how it's going - this week was preparing the pattern, but next week involves CUTTING! Yeah!
On Tuesday I spent the evening tying up loose ends with a bag full of UFOs - somehow I'd managed to finish 3 cowls over the winter, but not sew them up or add pretty embellishments, so they were finished & added to my present drawer. I also added a chain to my crochet bib necklace (inspired by Stefanie's tute, I started this back in October, eek!) and decided on an arrangement for my granny square blanket. It'll be more of a lap-blanket, but pretty nonetheless! I also made a LOT of mess making peppermint creams on Tuesday, but they've been keeping me happy all week with their heart-shaped mint-iness! The big "B" was for Ben, my boyfriend, but horror-of-horrors, he apparently "doesn't like" peppermint creams! So I've had to eat his ones too :D
Do you prefer having a to do list for crafty projects, or do you go with what inspires you at the time?
Wow- 5 of 6 is a great record! Congratulations! I almost never make a list of things to make- I just fly by the seat of my pants.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Thats great achieving 5 out of 6! I am trying to write lists of things i want to make but most of the time i forget. Hope you have a wonderful week xx
ReplyDeleteWell done on achieving so much in a month - you must be very pleased! What nice presents your friends and family are going to get. x
ReplyDeleteThat's great you completed your list!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes have a list, but will often find something new and shiny to trump everything else on it.
I'm going to cut out my fabric for the OPB sew along now!
