A couple of days late but here is my Wipocalypse progress and I'm pleased to say there is progress!!! Whoop whoop!!!
I decided to tackle the sewing list as I know the stitching will get done. I've done 2 projects and worked on a third. I also completed Game of Thrones stitch that's waiting to be framed.
So here are the two completed sewing projects. I started this cushion cover this time last year when hubby brought the fabric as he loves Chinese dragons. I started it and made a mistake on it. So it got shoved in my sewing machine box and ignored. I was sewing this week and thought I could finally get it done for hubby for valentine's day. It's one of those silly things that it actually only ended up taking half hour to unpick and finish. Here it is with the little Mouseloft design I did for hubs for valentines day too.
The second was the fabric brooch that I started in a workshop at the NEC 2 years ago! Here's the original post. I forgot to take a before photo but this one shows it at the time of the workshop. I'd put in 3 of the rows of bugle beads at some point since.
So that was where I picked it up last night. Most of the beads were included in the kit I got with the course. I added in last night a few more bugles and the blue and large green beads.
I'm pleased with the finished brooch. It'll go with a lot of what I wear so I'm looking forward to wearing it.
I've been busy making up hexagons for my quilt too so I'm going to get that out and spend an hour or so on it this afternoon.
Each month Measi is posing a question too...
How many projects do you generally feel comfortable having in progress at a time? Tell us about your one-at-a-time or rotation habits!
I was always a OAAT stitcher until I discovered forums and then blogging. I like taking part in swaps and SAL's and I have a few crafty friends who I love to do swaps with I have a spring themed swap coming up with Steph and the travelling box will be back in the summer. . I have a basket full of started things (about 10) and a huge list of to-do's. I keep a little note book with a list of anything I need to stitch over the coming couple of months - there are 16 stitched projects in there, all but one are smalls. I'm trying a rotation at the moment too as I don't seem to find the time for the larger projects. This has really helped me get a couple of medium projects finished and make progress on the sampler too. I have several sewing projects on the go too so I've tried to make time for them even if it means only doing an hour on the quilt on a Sunday and getting the sewing machine out once a month on my Thursday morning of peace! In shout - I always wish there was less started in the basket and blame March Madness entirely!!
I'm off to catch up on my blog reading this afternoon. Have a good week and I hope my UK readers have all stayed safe in the storms.
