Craft Wrap Up

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