Projects, projects and projects...


Understand, which I'm sure you do, I have lots of projects in different stages of completion ... crochet, cross stitch, knitting  (not much on the knitting front though), patterns waiting to be sewn, painting ... goodness, probably too many to mention.  However ....
seeing what Stitchy McFloss, Sandy Sewz and Debi have and are making I'm pretty sure my list is going to get longer.  Will you just take a look at these beauties ...
Stitchy ... Stitchy McFloss  ... is making a shawl. Is this just gorgeous! Got me to thinking, I could use such a pretty thing to warm the shoulders now and then ... soooooo, I'm looking for a shawl pattern, lite and airy. Stitchy is doing hers in knit and I know right now I don't have the patience for knit, but will look to do one in crochet. You don't think the fact that she's sampling chocolate during her knitting had anything to do with this do you? Hmmm, there's a double calling here.

Sandy ... Sandy Sewz ... just completed her first quilt.  I am in love with this.  Everything about it!  The colors, the style.  Heard me being called here as well.  On my list to learn how to do. 




And Debi ... Crochet, Crafts & Gardening (Hooks and Yarn) ... designed this wonderful 4 hearts square.  I have to have a lapghan for those chilly winter nights, especially around Valentine's day with this pattern!  And Debi so generously shares her patterns.

Yup, my to do list just got longer.  Can you blame me?

    I'm totally with you on those squares. Definitely a blanket of those in the future. You also reminded me that I need to get out my Dove candy and finish up my own shawl. Not enough time is there?

    I'm so glad you like my quilt ... I found the fabric for it at Wal-Mart of all places (it was a fat quarter pack) and this is such an easy first quilting pattern... so looking forward to seeing you try it!

    Glor - You are always so sweet! I think we should all have a CAL for shawl! I'd join in. There is a KAL for a shawl starting on Friday, I put all the info on my post today. Thanks for the links to all the wonderful blogs. :)
    You are always so kind to me, thank you.
    Blessings to you and yours always. :)

    If I could sew, I would make a quilt. :) Knitting and I did not get along. But I am enjoying making up these little crochet pouches and am thinking holidays as I begin to embellish some. Happy hands, happy heart! Have a great week. Tammy

    I'm in love with that heart square, and what a wonderful first quilt Sandy Sewz has done!!!

    I always have too many projects, too, but that keeps me from getting bored. Or lazy...

    LOL you remind me of myself! I have several different projects going on right now also. And I'm about to start a crosstitch. Just added a new post to my blog using creative paperclay. Am about to go work on a gourd. lol I'm also taking a watercolor class. I'm not doing so badly considering I've never painted before.

    So many creative things and so little time! I should be getting ready for Google Plus KAL instead of reading crafty blogs but there're just so many wonderful things to see and try!
