whoa, nothing in here for a whole day?!?!? i guess we are all exhausted from the thrill of the exchange??? i spent all of this evening making more driftwood pieces...1 halloween, 1 small cats, and started on something with a light in it.......that is as far as i got....the light in it! have'nt got pics of the other 2, maybe tomorrow!

I can't wait to see them Wendy!

Did you take your other things to the store? Anything sell yet?

I sat and thought bead, yarn, bead, yarn yesterday. And just gabbed read and played games instead.

i cant make up my mind yet, i wanna do this n i wanna do that ! i started a few things , once i get a feel for somthing though ill work on it till im done n wont touch the others i started till im done, just gotta get the feel!
wendy cant wait to see what your doing! i love your crafts!

I am going to start finishing Maddie's tiny pink bunny. And I have got to start on Halloween things too. But I just now am getting stirred up for Christmas so I do not quite know what to do with myself! But this year, I am NOT making anything for the Christmas Fair at church!! I will NOT! well, maybe I will make those sawdust and wax firestarters because I have been saving scented and unscented candle stubs all year, but that is it! Nothing else.




Can't wait to see more of Wendy's work.

Merme

yes, i took the "sea jewels" and display board to the store yesterday, but have not been back. the rest of the pieces are going to go in the fesitval at the end of sept. i hope it is going to be a hit, this is the first one, so there is a chance it could bomb!

Lynne had mentioned she was knitting something for someone on here out of blue pebble yarn. IT was for me she knitted me a scarf for this winter, I just love it!! It will look great with jeans I soooo want to find a denim car coat now!!!!

Here it is!,,,,,,,,,,, The picture doesn't do it justice at all It is sooooo beautiful,, and sooooooo soft!!




I love it , love it , love it!! Thanks again Lynne!

AWWWWWWWWWWWW shucks, Diane!

I'm so glad you like it! I was actually going to post a couple of pictures I took of it in my "finally started knitting again" thread, but since you posted it here, I hope you don't mind if I add them here?

Close-up of knitted scarf........................................finished scarf
.

I hope you get as much use out of it as I enjoyed making it for you!

again, I :ding: Love how that scarf turned out Lynne!

Wendy, is the festival a craft show type of deal?

yes, they have something called "GHOST WALK" every year, but this year, they changed the to "SOMEWHERE IN TIME" because it has to do more with history than ghosts, then they added the craft fair. only handmade stuff and the vendors can dress in period pieces----i want a prairie style dress, but if i don't hurry and get with the girl that makes them, i will be in a wendy dress and boots!

I wish my camera worked. I finished my afghan this afternoon. Now I'm well into my next one. I've never made afghans before. The closest was a king sized thread work throw for a bed. But I've mostly ever made clothing for my kids and ex before. So this afghan stuff is fun and fast.

RATS Tina - I wish your camera worked too - I'd LOVE to see your afghan!
Do you know someone who you can borrow one from?

Yes, I do. I will have a neighbor take a pic soon and email it to me.

Great - can't wait to see it!!!

Finally my dish cloth with the music notes.

That came out very nicely Sheri! I like that color a lot.

I found the picture of the one I did 2 years ago too.

WOWW I like THem both Sheri and Lynne!!! What A neat idea for someone that is into Music as a gift ~~ a set of them!!

Very pretty Sheri and Lynne.

Just thought I'd share my latest project which is going to be a Christmas Present. It's just the right size to give a book in. There are other patterns for snowman, dog, and I think cat. Plastic canvas craft.

Sheri and Lynne....I like the music notes! What a good idea!

I like it ladyslipper. I used to do plastic canvas crafts. My grandma always did them and she would let us do them with her. Haven't done that in a long time! Thanks for sharing!!

Glad to share I used to do a lot of plastic canvas then got doing other things. I get back to it every now and then. I find it very relaxing.

starting a new project our of plastic canvas. A turkey that is called a shelf sitter. Have it cut out and got to go through my yarn and select colors. Will post picture when I get enough done.

can't wait to see it, ladyslipper---and i love your Angel bag--my sister loves angels--so I especially notice them--

Lynne---Sheri----I just love your dishcloth's.

and the design is perfect!!!

thanks JuneGirl, am stitching on my Turkey will post picture when I get the front done. :wink:

i am not caught up in here yet, but i finally got some pics that shirley wanted to see of the light plate covers that i am making for a craft show in november....






i used greeting cards in the real fancy ones, but quickly found out that scrapbook paper works best!

and 1 more pic.....i thought you would like to see where i spend all of my time! it is what i call the craft room or faery space.....i am constantly adding something to it, so it is KINDA a project!

Ohhhhhhhhhhh I like those,, Did you make any fairy ones??

no, just that one could be called a fairy....the hobby lobby here does NOT have a goo selection of scrapbook paper, i will have to go to joanns soon, but it is an hour away!
AND THANKS!

diane....tell jayhawk to look at this pics......it was her cat paper and modpauge that got me started! she had my name in the last craft swap!

ohhhhhhhhhh Wendy - I really like those switchplates! What a great idea!

And I also really like the blue color on your walls - very soothing!
Would you happen to know the name of it? I've been looking for a color for the little room I want to make into a craft room that's off the kitchen here, but haven't found quite the right shade yet...

the switch plates are a great idea and I love your craft room I read somewhere that blue is a relaxing color that lower your bloodpressure. Very nice.

i know i still have the paint chip with the brand and color on it, when i get it i will pm you

Well, I'm just now getting to the point where I can work on things while Maddie is taking her naps. I haven't done much at all in the line of crafts, but I decided the other day that I'm going to work on the strolling quilt blocks that HGTV did a few years back. There is a block for each month and I'm going to start with November's block and go from there. I might find some time to start working on it tomorrow since the weekends are Stephen's time to give me a break and watch Maddie for most of the day. :) Sooooo......just thought I'd pop in and let ya know. :)

NO WAY! Those are really nice Wendy! My friend Dixie has been making those for years! She uses scrapbooking paper too. Verry nice. Great idea to recycle the christmas cards. Too bad they're difficult to work with. I bet some wrapping papers would make nice ones too.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING


My latest project finally done. Now I am going to do a Snowman.
Ladyslipper

That is so cute! Good job on it.

I saw your switch plate covers Wendy!! They look great!!


They gave me some ideas for our kitchen. That is , if I can talk my husband out of the stainless steel covers.
