Scarve Making~ Is winter far behind???

It has been a busy week. I got out this pattern to knit potato chip scarves and made up a couple. I know it is the wrong time of year but they are light weight & fun to make. They are  so much more fun to see when they are done. The pink one is for me, can't wait to wear it. I am not sure what I am going to do with the other one. Maybe a gift for one of the  DD s!!

I have added a couple of updated pictures of the cuffs that I have been working on. I used hook and eye and snaps to finish the snow one and the pink lace one. Nothing fancy on them, just what works. I did get some work done on the lady that I applied to another cuff and had no idea what to do with. I like how she has turned out. She is finished except to add a closure to the back. A black lace cuff is next on my list of to dos.

Another idea in the works is a tank top made from crocheted pieces. I found in my pile a beautiful collar which I think will make this whole process easier. I plan to tea dye the main part of the tank so that the pieces are more cohesive when done. Last is an art quilt that I am throwing together. Another creative week here.

Hope you have a terrific weekend. Blessings.

Working Away

Here is an update on my CQ needlecase for StitchMap. It is coming along pretty well I think. I have added fill in on the butterfly and a vine with the purple flowers at the bottom. I need to finish the spider's legs and some more of the seams need to be completed.

Scarey but I taught myself to crochet tonight. No it is not great but I am sure with some practice I can do better. I didn't enjoy this....................made me tense and on edge but the future will tell. Hoping my BFF Louise doesn't pass out when she sees this! She is such a wonderful crocheter and tatter. She taught me CQ but I have always been afraid to ask her to teach me to crochet as my mother told me I was the only person she ever saw who could make their crochet work get smaller instead of larger!! Leave it to me, couldn't have been the teacher could it??? LOL

On the left is another vintage embroidery that I found and finished up. The clouds and large tree on the right need to be finished. The next one I am working on is not vintage, because I started it many years ago, LOL I found it and the matching piece so I have removed the stitches that I had started and then  started over with the colors that match the first one. They will not match but they will certainly be close.

I spent alot of time in the sewing room today trying to find things and trying to get more of the fabrics on the shelves ! I got some more boxes emptied, almost no boxes left in the sewing room. I would be in good shape except for the mixed media goodies that I have. They seem to be the sticking point in getting the room settled but where there is a will, there is a way so I will keep on going!!
