Back from a long absence. I spent the majority of December with different variations of colds and flus, and then January took off with a vengeance at work! I have been absolutely swamped. It's nice to get a chance to talk about crafts.
I currently have a spinning project on the wheel, two knitting projects on the needles, and a crochet project on the hook, plus two more knitting projects and a weaving project ready to go at a moment's notice. This isn't even counting a couple of long-term WIPs that I have in a blanket and a shawl that are currently languishing. They'll get done someday when I darn well feel like it. :-)
All I finished in December was a small cross-stitch project that I failed to photograph. It is one of those small kits with the circular plastic frame, and it has a cute baby bear asleep with a blanket and it says "Sweet Dreams". There is a picture at this website, which is not my own, but mine looks very similar to it. It is in the second row, right in the middle, titled Sweet Dreams.
I spent the rest of December trying out different techniques and stitch patterns. I'm going to be working on some new projects this late winter, and I wanted to be sure I knew what I was doing first. Lots of warm accessories are on the way!
I made a fun purchase last weekend. I found a knitted hat kit that came with a stuffed giraffe head topper- here is a picture of a finished one- that I'm looking forward to making for my own little one! I will be welcoming my first child in June. :-)
I look forward to showing you the beautiful projects I am currently working on! Check back soon!
