my Christmas crafting projects
I've posted in detail about my Christmas crafting plans for this year's Christmas, so will just update on this thread to keep myself motivated.
- 1 of 3 woven rag-rugs is now finished
- the slipper patterns are in the test-swatch stage
- my yarns, hooks, patterns and rug projects are all over the place
- other homemade Christmas gift plans are in the planning stage: baking, goody baskets, decorations, cards, tags, gift-wrapping odd's & ends
I'll have to hunt out some of these things from various drawers, bags & boxes. I'd prefer to organize all my gift-wrap stuff in one easily accessible place, because every time I wrap a gift I have to take down boxes and bags from high shelves, and it's always a big mess to clean up. But right now my only extra dresser is holding all my sewing notions. Maybe if I worked up some of my yarns into rugs...I'd have space on my spare-room closet shelf then.
Today:
I plan to work on woven rag-rug #2 again (blues & greens & black). It now needs to be measured, adjusted, marked and pinned for a size 24" x 36". After that, the borders can be fitted and sewed to finish the rug. It's a cloudy day, so there is very little natural daylight indoors, making it harder to see for sewing; but I hope to work a 3 hour interval or more on this project today.
