What I'm Working on Monday

Another work in progress today kiddos!

Yes, I am currently doing two crochet projects at once! :O  I busted out a bunch of granny squares for the hubs afghan, and got tired of circles/squares!  So I am now almost done with this easy scarf! :D  It's nice and warm and soft and got me out of the granny square funk! :D

 

Yes, I have a HUGE ball of yarn.  My FIL is an evil genius and crafted a holder for my skeins.  It's just a dowel stuck into a block of wood, but its perfect!  The yarn gently turns when I need more.  Love it! :D

What Im working on Monday :)

My mom's birthday is coming up soon. I wanted to do something nice for her birthday. Well, I have started by asking her for a picture of her wedding.  I found something on another blog that I thought was cute and wanted to try.  They only problem was that the pictures from my parents wedding are 27 years old, and this particular picture was glue into a lace frame without any glass on it.  So you can see that there are some spots on the picture that need taking care of, as well as the bottom and the top where the glue was.  Well, I have yet to finish my completed project (and I wont reveal it here because my mom reads this!) but here is the begginning of my edits:

The major differences for now are the top and bottom and a couple of black spots on my moms dress.  But I am working on the rest and hoping that mom isnt sad by me spoiling half of the birthday surprise.  Ill pose a picture of the present after Thursday.   Love you mom! :)

What I made Monday

Happy Monday! How was everyone's weekend??
Mine was SUPER productive!!
Here is what I made this week, some of it.  I have extra fabric from making baby blankets, and whipped up a couple pillows super quick.  So cute! :D

Here's a picture half stuffed :D  I don't have any finished pictures! I'll put some finished pictures later.  Busy busy! :D

What did you make this week??

What I made monday- Compacts

I have a couple of compact mirrors that I didnt like the image metal plates that were on the outside. So, I have started taking them off (this is the hardest part because they are glued on pretty well.  Then I clean the goo off.

I then cut and mod podged some cute papers on.  I have done some really cute printed pictures (on paper because I didnt want to ruin a real photo) but didnt take pictures of any of those.  Sorry!  After the mod podge dried, I mod podged the top over it.

The end project.  Cute compact mirrors that are custom to how I want them.  Check out my etsy shop because you can get one custom just for you, or for a friend's birthday present!

What I made Monday- Diaper Clutch-- a work in progress

I have a bunch of baby showers coming up in the next couple of months and wanted to start working on some homemade gifts.  The first thing I wanted to try was a diaper clutch.  I have one from Pampers and love it. I misplaced it when I started this project so I eyeballed it and Im not in love with how it turned out. But, here are the pictures anyway.

I cut out strips. I think they turned out to be 9 x 22 or so.  And inside and then an outside.

I cut corners and then used a bowl to round them. I didnt like the round edge so next time, i will leave them straight.

 

 

 

I sewed on some velcro (yay me for not having white velcro!)

 

I sewed up the sides (inside out) and around the top.  Then I just stuffed it.  Next time I will tweak it!

What I made Monday

GOOOOD MORNING!

Today I made - drum roll please - a crocheted scarf! lol.  This one took NO TIME AT ALL!  I'm so proud.  I've gotten back in the groove of things, and finished this scarf for my stepdaughter in about 3 days, all in all.  It even has pretty butterflies in it!! :D  She loves it, so that's the most important!

Anyone make anything they'd like to share??
