Re: CRAFTS: Ok what's everyone working on?

Well, I think I'm just going to weasle myself into this thread ^^
This weekend I made a beautiful necklace for my friend's birthday and sewed a hammock for my chichilla, Onyx's, cage. I am thinking about continuing to croche a baby blanket (my cousin is going to have twins)

OzLover, are those hand or machine quilted? Either way, they are Beautiful!

Those are machine quilted. Out of practice on the hand quilting & need to work on that! Thanks for asking.

Would love to see the dogs hammock! And the jewelry! My DD makes earrings & sells them on Esty.

oz - beautiful quilts!

ashley - you'll need to post some pictures!

Last night I started a 'scrap' afghan. Just grab all my yarn scraps and crochet together. I need to get rid of some yarn! I'll try to get this done this week and post the pic.

How do I add pictures?
OxLover....Onyx isn't a dog, he is a chinchilla....They have a mouse face, bunny feet, and a squirrel-like tail. They are also SOOOOO soft!
My grandma (I call her Nanny) told me that I should sell some of my jewlery on etsy....I also noticed there was a place to sell things on this website as well.

I use www.photobucket.com - once you upload an image, then you get the IMG code and paste here...let me know if you need more info.

I just went and bought more yarn - yay! My hubs friends 50th bday May 21. Decided I better make him an afghan. He's a big hunter, so bought camoflage colors - black, brown and dark green. Decided to add bright yellow for a little contrast. I'll just be doing unequal stripes and using a pretty big hook so it will go fast.

woo hoo - I love new projects!

kae - I've never 'really' scrapbooked, but I love the work. I have so many other crafts, I have to limit myself.

I would consider refinishing a craft. Please post pictures. I love old furniture.

Here's the crochet for my bathroom

Barr this is simply awesome! I just noticed this thread! I need to get my crafty self to work! Find myself a hobby!!!

Re: CRAFTS: Ok what's everyone working on?

jules - hobbies are definitely fun! I do stained glass, yarn work, paint rocks , mosaics...pretty much anything I can find time to do. It just helps me balance the stress of life.

I'm really not liking the afghan I'm doing for my friend [camo colors]. I really didn't like the yellow, so replaced with ecru - it's just boring. But its for a guy, so I think he'll like. I have about 12" done, so will ask the husband if he likes it - he's usually pretty honest with me.

I'm also coating a 50th bday party banner for a friends house tonight. It's rainy and dreary here today, I'm trying to figure out a way that it won't get all wet and droopy.

Hey Barrnone,
How did the party go last night? You had made a bunch of rocks and stuff for that right? Hope it was a success!

Re: CRAFTS: Ok what's everyone working on?

party was a ball - the girl loved the rocks! Huge success.

So, the afghan - still hating it. I think its the colors, they just don't seem to mesh. I've tried it 3 different ways. Even the hub said it was boring. I'm going to try to keep going a little further on the latest to see if it gets better. I'm doing a basketweave type stitch and decided to drop the ecru - just the dark colors now. I'm sure I'll work on it over the coarse of the day, so will try to post a pic.
