I was halfway through my pads and realized that I have no 1/4" elastic. Guess that's on my list for tomorrow.

Someone come over to my house and kick my butt into gear. I have two throw blankets to knit for Christmas gifts. I really do need to get started now because I'm slow.

I finally tried working with vinyl. I just labeled LO's baseball bat so that way I didn't really have to care much about appearances if it didn't go well, but it was super easy. I'm excited to do my "real" projects now: some baking ingredient containers (labeling things that look similar, noting which flours have been sifted, noting how much cornstarch to use per cup of liquid, etc) and some decor for my office/craft room.
I've been working on a few projects of various mediums for gifts. Otherwise, I haven't had time for crafting unless you count design work for some house projects.

I feel like I made no progress this weekend, because I measured my blocks and had to rip and resew 10. {sad trombone}
But on an up note, my H and my dad both ended up buying DS stuffed dinosaurs for Easter, so that might have gotten me off the hook for sewing the triceratops DS wanted. Crossing my fingers, lol.

I finally put together the arrow tail quilt top. My girls shuffled all the pieces (in 2016!) so I was a little too pissed to try to straighten it out until now. I also started a heart quilt but need more flannel patterns. Dh bought me a Cricut, so I'm doing a bunch of random felt projects. Sure beats cutting these out by hand.

I am struggling with quilting my nephews quilt. I suppose since I managed the top and started the quilting without a break I should be happier with the progress but I am altogether irritated about the whole thing.

I need to start on C’s blanket. The goal is to have it done for a birthday present. I have 1 month. I have had the fabric for over a year. 🙈 I have tomorrow off of work so I should be able to get started on it then. I also got a shipment of preorder fabric in yesterday so hopefully I can start on that stuff too.

Heart quilt, 1 of 9 completed. Using interfacing as a 'cheat' was not any faster, more of a PITA. Plus the tutorial I followed was wrong. Like way, way wrong. Should I mention the errors in the comments? The post is a few years old. But I'm kinda of really pissed about it.

I finally figured out what my next big project will be. DH is fairly conservative with his style so he shocked the hell out of me when he said he wanted to do a full wall mural of west coast art in our front room. I'm so excited! We are going to put new flooring in before we start on the walls so it won't be any time soon but it's going to be a fun project. Something like this:

I made progress on 2 projects, since we trapped at home thanks to freezing rain for a good chunk of the weekend. On my flower quilt, I'm down to deciding on the vase: B was my original vision, then I started to question myself, but now I think I'm going with B. LOL. This was the inspiration: I also sewed blocks together for DS's dino quilt AND started a new embroidery project from a kit.

Option B, I love that heart quilt lildiamondeyes! I've finally made progress on my alphabet knitted blanket. I hadn't touched it since Christmas. I only have the top row of five letters left but my yellow yarn is at my parent's house 3 hours away 😭 I spent so long deciding on colours and I'm not entirely happy with them lol ETA: Attachment Deleted

I'll try to figure out how to post a pic once I get them finished.

Bump. How's it going? I just cut out a tank in my prepregnancy size for this summer, just need to sew it up. I also have a bunch of underwear for me and for DS cut out and waiting for me to motivate myself.

Working on a drawstring bag for gaming tokens commission for MH's friend, and need to start on a felt nursery mobile I'm making for a friend to give her this weekend. It's going to be ballerina Llamas and flowers.

I still haven't done squat.
I have a pile of mending I'll probably start on tonight, though.

Dh had this idea for a quilt that I'm working on, a monthly block. Maybe I will post pics tomorrow. Oh and I got suckered into doing bridal shower invites that Mil was supposed to do and weeks ago. So far my Cricut hates me and keeps crashing. So frustrating. I also need to make some decorations and a shirt for G's bday this Friday!!!!
