Last One Done For The Year


I really completed another stocking! Yes! I can't believe how much crafting I have done. Most of it on my own! The 3 little things on the left go in Santa's bag or is that Frosty? I think it turned out pretty good.

Only 3 Or So To Go











I just finished another stocking. I'm so excited, although that just means I get to start another one. But this is the most I have ever completed in one year! Thanks to Crafty and ADHD for starting the craft group.

Something done....good grief







So I finished my nephew to be's blankie, and I am glad....that it came out really awesome, and that mostly it's done:)




It's pretty large so I had a hard time taking pics of it where you can see some of the detail but I think these are the best;} I am proud!

Finished!


I've been meaning to post this for a while. A finished project! I have so few finished projects. Many, many started projects. So, I'm posting this to remind myself just how gratifying it is to finish something.
Yay Me!

It's The Little Things

So, yesterday I started a new project. My first commissioned project, actually.

And the part that I'm really proud of is that I actually finished one of my current projects BEFORE I started the new one.

Baby steps, people. I'm working on it.

Crafty Bubbles

What is it about all this crafty crap? I just want to make stuff and create with my hands all the time. I can knit kinda good. I still want learn to crochet (I just need that extra needle). I make cards and gift tags when I can. I am determined to learn how to sew this year. Dammit. I am tired of looking at super cute bags and totes that are handmade and super expensive. I always think "I can do that".

But. I don't. That is not getting me very far. My craft "area" is busting with future ideas, half completed projects, things I have knitted that I don't even remember. Yikes. Craft ADD.

ttfn,

The Lone Embroider

Yes, I alone in the group sew and embroider christmas stockings for friends. While I don't feel this is much of a craft, I do love sitting and talking with friends as they knit and crochet, cute things for kids I know! Thanks Crafty! So if you have a craft come along for the ride, we do know how to have a good time.

I Craft, Therefore I Am

I knit. I crochett.

In general, I tend to make my life complicated. And yarn calms me.

Nice to meet you.

I stopped choking...my stitch that is

What can come of a disgruntled group of retail workers?....A LOCAL CRAFT MILITIA...that's right!

Some of us started without a crafty talent, but as we came together we have been a relatively talented, united craft group.

We stitch, knit, and bitch...haha kidding...but really.

I crochet, knit, and chit chat. I started out knowing how to knit...incorrectly mind you. My sensei (credit Nikki) taught me first to crochet, and then how to knit the right way (without CHOKING my stitches). I already knew how to run my mouth.


So...follow the lead and tell us WHAT'S YOUR CRAFT?!
