yeah! they are super fun!

yay babies! oh i think you should make baby stuff then instead of bloomers for yourself!

edit:

I made bloomers! and im going to make more

i dont wanna double post, but it has been a while and i wanted to so you guys the wall hanging i made! its super cute and i did it in only a couple of hours. like maybe 4 hours total.

so here it is! hope you guys like it!

That's really pretty, BSW!

thank you! i just used some scrap lace and some scrap fabric from other projects. the blue is from the bloomers and the green is from the fish wall hanging.

today i am going to work on a dress for a halloween costume. i dont think ill get it done, but im going to try!

The bloomers look fun. :D Neat wall hanging too! I should attempt some quilting.

its pretty easy actually bellybutton. all you have to do is cut out a shape out of some fabric, arrange it and then sew it, frame it, back it and stitch it down. sounds pretty simple right? i started with baby quilts, but you can easily start with wall hangings.

I've done some quilting ages and ages ago, I'm just wary of committing to it right now for some reason. :) But I should dig out my fabric scraps and make some quilted mug rugs. I actually need one, so that has a good chance of getting done.

there, see?! i knew you could do it.

It's about time I've started on my list, lol. I finished the monkey that I've spent most of the year working on. Will need to post the pics up soon.

i cant wait to see it roxxxi! spending most of a year on it, it must be impressive!


i am almost finished my halloween costume. i will have pictures of me in it when its done. just need to sew the neck line and take in the waist.

Not so much spending the entire time on it. I've been working crazy hours, so sometimes, I came home and went straight to sleep. So it was kind of sporadic, was really hoping to get it finished much earlier than this. But I will admit, I had to restart several pieces a few times (and modify some) because I couldn't get it right.

Aw, that turned out adorable! Nice job!

oh my gosh! that is incredible! well worth the time! and that banana!!!!

edit: so... what is everyone working on currently?

right now, I have a Halloween quilt on the go and a black skirt. I just finished my halloween costume and a dress from zombie fabric. Pictures soon to come.

Pictures!

7) Halloween Costume: Sylveon:



8) Zombie Dress:

Those a beautifully done, BSW! Where is your halloween costume from?

its sylveon the fairy eevee evolution! so pokemon :D

also this means i am at 8 of 25 already! and i havnt yet counted my paintings.

They look really good bsw!

thanks! hopefully i finish some of the other things im working on quickly so that i can catch up on my goal. im only at 8 of 25.... thats a lot of crafting left to do. i think with the left over zombie fabric ill make a headband to match. and maybe a tie on bustle if i have enough fabric.

lol, I'll have no problem this year. I just got requests to make some dishcloths for some people (my mother's red hat group and dad's coworkers). 17 people, so that means 34 dishcloths. I'm on number 5 right now, should finish it tonight, and start on number 6.

wow, thats awesome. are you knitting them or crocheting them?


i tend to just make larger things... which tend to take more time i guess. i am thinking about a bustle and a headband... which are relatively small compared to a full size quilt and a dress.

edit: so i made a bustle this morning after thinking about it all night. took me a little over an hour, but here it is!



and that makes 9 items of my 25. slowly but surely. I think as long as i dont stop, ill make it in time. also, im not sure i have ever been this productive crafting before ever. so thank you so much for the motivation. sounds silly, but its things like this that really push me to make all the things i have had in my head for years.

I'm knitting them. Funny thing is... I can knit with four needles, watching tv, and taking care of trick or treaters without batting an eye, but i can't figure out crochet. lol. I've been trying to find someone who can show me, or take a class, but things just haven't worked out yet.

I'm glad that you liked this idea, and that it gives you motivation to create. :) Sometimes, we all need that push.

yeah, that is for sure how i feel. so i really appreciate you creating this thread. its awesome. i also love the feedback, it also helps motivate me. aside from that, its also great to see other people crafting. sometimes i feel like no one i know crafts and im alone and there isnt a point, i should just buy things like a regular person. this really combats that dramatically and effectively. so yeah... i appreciate this thread :D

i find knitting impossible and crochet super easy. so its funny that we are completely opposite from each other. i think we talked about this earlier in the thread. I learned crochet from my boyfriends mom, im not very good at it though... i really just thought i should learn it because she has so much yarn i have to figure out something to do with it. like so much yarn.... so much yarn....

My mom taught me to knit when I was a kid and I learned crochet from a friend much later, so I've always found knitting easier. These days, when I need to learn new stitches, I find youtube videos the most helpful way to learn. I'll watch 3-4 different people explain a stitch, because sometimes the visuals will be good the explanation won't be, or visa versa. I taught myself how to knit continental style that way in just an evening. :D

yeah youtube is helpful for all kinds of things. i love the tutorials and the ideas. I made a book purse from watching a youtube video.

edit:
zombie headband as promised! and i finished my skirt... pictures to come soon. here is the zombie headband... and a selfie?! what? but you cant really see my face. lol.

I really like that headband! So cool. :)
