Last two completed

These are the last two squares that needed to be done. I still have to go back in and do the details.
But for now, I'm putting this project aside to work on teacher gifts.
Here's a sneak preview.

Two more down...

So here's where I am at NOW:

I don't know why I like to do the rest of the stitching after the fact. I call it the detail stitching.
I guess it might have to do with the fact that I did one with all the details and realized I had to redo the entire thing because I thought what I did was what I was supposed to do but I was wrong.

It sucked.
Two more to go before I get to the "detail stitching". Slowly but surely. I'll get there.

Let the crafting begin!

Of course, now that I have less than a month to finish some Christmas gifts, I am in a mad dash to get it all done. *sigh*

Remember this blanket?





Well, here's where I am now:

Late last night.

Way too early this morning. Those two are done; four more to go...

HA! Wasn't that the funniest

thing you ever read a YEAR ago... so naive.

I've been missing crafting forever. Actually, I have made a couple of things that I should say rocked my world for several weeks being that I needed to learn to sew and how to use a sewing machine.

But I made three baptismal dresses for the kids earlier in the year. It might have been a smidge easier if the kids were still babies... but here they are:


uh...well...can't find the pics without them in them and I can't post those with them in them. I'll take pics of them and post them later.



The other thing I have been working on is my nephe/Godson's (Isaiah) blanket. Here's some of the cross -stitching I have done so far:

I have to go back in and do the fill in work but I like to save that for last for some weird reason.

The theme is transportation. I've already chosen the fabric that these are going to be quilted on. I have about 4 or 6 more transportation objects to cross-stitch before I go back and fill them in. I should take a pic of the fabric I chose for the background and post that too.

That will be for another time though since I've had this sitting in draft for 25 days already...

Back to craft blogging...YAY!~
