What are you working on now?

[jenptcfan]

Thanks, everyone!

a knitted pair of mittens and toe socks!

 

[Tavita]

I'm working on a knitted shawl for our church's prayer shawl ministry (my first one). We crochet, knit, or quilt shawls for people in the community who are ill or in hospital, aged homes, etc, or anyone we know who we think will benefit.

Before we begin work on a shawl and of course while we're working, we pray for the person who will receive it. We pray for healing or whatever the Lord lays on our hearts. Then the church gathers together all the shawls made and the priest or bishop prays over them in a service before being sent out.

jen i love the dress! hadn't heard of a pillowcase dress before this, but it's really cute!!

i used to sew for my kids when they were small, and even knit an Aran sweater for my oldest when he was very small.

today i just finished assembling a 6 ft quilting frame, so that was my exercize for today! I have lots of quilt tops that i hope to get quilted by this Summer.

I'm finishing up a shawl and still trying to talk myself into that quilt.
Did you make the quilting frame from scratch?

At the moment I'm not really working on anything specific. I' like the idea of making jewelry & have tried a little, so when I've got some tools & supplies in I'm going to give that a real go I'm planning on decorating my room soon & plan on doing at least some, if not all, of the soft furnishings for it myself!

I'm altering the cover of a composition book using scrapbook paper and art from an old damaged children's book. I'm interested to see how it's going to turn out. It's my first try at something like this.

Just finished this:

The blue one in cream. I'll have to get batteries for hubby's digital camera to put it up.....

Well, in the past 2 weeks I finished my husband's sweater (with all those cables), Made 3 filet hearts and framed them for friends, made a filte banner (says "LOVE" with hearts around it) and framed it for another friend, whipped up the February Crinoline Lady from Cylinda and made a baby blanket for our pastor's nephew's son (born preemie, but may be heading home in a week or two!!).

Now I am working on another baby blanket for Project Linus and a table runner for my nephew's wedding. I also need to do the March Crinoline for my shadow box.

 

[NostalgicGranny]

Wow! You all are making me feel lazy! I guess it's time for me to get cracking!

Here are a couple of pictures of some I Spy bags I finished last night.

Finished crocheting this and am sewing it to my yellow/green tea towels now.

For the other half, I will be doing this one:

then working on toppers for the other two towels (cut in half for 4 actual towels) in solid green then the green/white with pea design. My kitchen is Yellow, with red & green accents...my toaster is red.


ooo...meant to say that the thread I'm using is peaches & creme in yellow.

 

[NostalgicGranny]

Spy bags, towel toppers, afghans - cute- cute -cute!

I just finished a valentines doily. It has pineapples and hearts all around. When I get the chance I'll see if I can upload a picture of it.

I made a skirt for my daughter today and a toothfairy bag for my oldest daughter yesterday.

I have to finish a snuggle blanket for a baby shower next month and line the kimono jacket that goes with the layette. A little nervous about that one.

Honestly I've got a large amount on my to do list.
Spring dresses for the girls
a pouch sling and wrap as gifts
comfy pants/shorts for my son
rice packs - although my daughter likes to make these so I'll probably leave them for her to do when she's bored.

Are you familiar with "I Spy" books or Where's Waldo? They are similar except they're little beanbags. They're filled with little plastic pellets and they have tiny toys and "treasures" hidden amongst the plastic pellets. There's a little see-through window so that a kiddo can manipulate the bag and the different toys will come into view.

Here's a close up of one.

That is an awesome idea!!! I'll have to try some. They would be great for SS class with little guys...oohhh...have an idea...great to do with resurrection eggs and put those things inside with some sand or those plastic bean fillers...
