Switching things up a bit

I'm starting to get bored with my quilt so decided I needed to give myself a little diversion.  I have decided to make a plastic canvas creation that will eventually go up for sale on my Facebook Page. I found a really cute pattern on the Internet for a bath set so have downloaded it and am going to start making it today.

I haven't worked with plastic canvas in a very long time but have all the supplies in the house needed for this craft.  This craft shouldn't take too long to make so I will be able to post something other than jewelry on my Facebook page for sale.  When I have completed this little project I will be sure to let you all know about it and will come back in to post pictures of the finished product.

Tiny setback on the quilt

Well as you all know I have been working on a quilt.  When this quilt is finished it will be up for sale on my facebook page.  Yes it is the quilt that is in the picture.

This quilt requires me to make 20 pattern pieces.  I have made eight so far and thought I was off to a real good start until I started looking at it a bit more quickly.  Well you can imagine my dismay when I noticed that five out of the eight blocks were not pieced and sewn correctly.  Anybody looking at the quilt would probably not notice this, but I did so I have to take some of it out.

This is precious time that I did not have to waste.  But I honestly couldn't put it up for sale with some of the blocks not set right.  So I will take out what I have to and then continue on with the quilt.  Oh well, these things happen.  I'll just have to play closer attention next time.

Some more work done on the Quilt



So yesterday I spent most of the afternoon working on the quilt.  I was able to get some more pieces cut out and sewn up some of the pattern as well.  These pieces in this picture show what the pattern is going to be like.  I have to make 20 sets of this pattern and right now I have six and a half made.  So I have quite a ways to go yet with this quilt.  But now that the craft room is finished and I can once again work in here I can see me finishing this quilt quite quickly.

When the quilt is finished it will be going up for sale on my Facebook page.  So get ready to see the final product as well as the price and the shipping charges.  I will continue to work on this quilt some more today and hopefully will be posting soon that it's complete.

Hopefull something new to post soon




Hello all!

I have not really been doing any crafting or even posting to this blog actually.  I have been super busy with some transcription work that all other activities have pretty much taken a back seat.  But now this is all set to change.  Yesterday I finished up my transcription work so am ready, willing and able to get back into the crating world once again.

Later today after I'm done on the Internet and have my housework completed I plan on getting back to work on my quilt.  I so... miss my quilting time and can't wait to get at it.  I plan on working on it a lot this weekend so am hoping I will have some more updated pics to post soon.

Until then I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
