Craft Wrap Up

[imjustlori]

This week I have no excuse.

Market week! It was exciting. This time people wanted dryer balls, and I sold half of THAT stock. This is a cool trend. At this point, I've covered the cost of the spot at the market. Yay! Once I have enough, the next purchase for the shop will be table(s) that fold in half, so I can put people in the car at the same time as the shop. :-)

My Etsy shop has also gotten some love, and I have new product (stitchmarkers) in there. I still have some to photograph, and have been itching to play with the cloisonne beads I picked up, so there might be more soon.

So, what am I working on for me? Outside of the projects below, I put a button back on a pair of pants for me (yay!) and repaired the hem of my son's MS Walk tee shirt--it had come completely undone. And now the sewing area is clear, so I expect more in that arena soon.

Quilting

• Mystery Quilt: Totally ignored it. I'm over this project. However, one of my quilt buddies is having us over Saturday, so I plan on taking it and getting the center of the top banged out, at least.


• My Quilt: Still no movement! August block 2 will happen after the Mystery quilt front is assembled. I've fallen out of love with that snowman sampler, but dammit, I'm going to finish it and have something DONE.


• The jelly roll quilt: I've fondled the fabric once or twice this week, but not opened it. Yet.

Knitting

• Spring Socks: Gusset done. Motoring to the cuff!


• Baktus: I love it. Oh my goodness, it is awesome. I am still in love. It's also finally halfway done. I'm on the decreasing side, and no longer have to worry about weighing it, so I expect it to zoom along.


• LIME GREEN TANK: While I still want to finish it before I travel for work again, and while I can still wear it in the spring, since it's getting little to no love, I don't know that it will happen. I'll try again this week.


• Orange top: The swatch is not to what the pattern wants. Which means maths. I already knew i had maths to do, so this is no real surprise. I also have to get around to measuring ME, so the maths make sense.

Cross Stitch

• No movement. Sigh. But I've been eyeing it more. That's something.

Spinning

• Market Spinning: The fiber is moving quickly. I told people I hoped this yarn would be for sale next time I'm there, so I really have to finish it now. And I will.


• Selfish sock yarn: no movement. Well, beyond shifting the spinning wheel from here to there. And then it came off the wheel, and is now sitting there, scolding me.


• 3#Fiber: Still need to wash and whack the spindle-spun fiber, but I'm out of Soak, so until I pop over to the bra shop in town, it sits. (I am planning to get over that way tomorrow, I hope, so it will happen). And that's all there is to that.

HOW do you find time to do all of this?!

Note the lack of movement on many of the projects? That's how. I think the socks, Baktus, and market spinning were the only things to get love from me this week. Oh, and a swatch. The rest? Sitting and waiting its turn.

This is my way of tracking the projects I've got my eye on, and a way to see the progress (and lack thereof) on them all.

Good gravy, lady, how do you do all of that?

*laugh* And I said that before Nea spoke up... ;)
