  • I've been AWOL craft wise for a few days as I've been a bit busy. I've managed to complete another mini cross stitch to use on a card (just need to make the card) and I'm currently on with first official project of finishing latch hook cushion cover. Did 10 rows last night so about 30 to go :) I'm about to do a few more to unwind before bed.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Finished the cushions for living room, quite proud of myself! They've added a nice splash of colour to our drab looking couch (anyone want to buy me a new one?)
    Have also decided on number 9 on my list. Just need to order the materials on Tuesday, hopefully they'll be here for weekend so I can get started on that. It requires shirring elastic which I have never tried before, so we'll see how well that goes!
    Was hoping to get some crafting done this afternoon, but dd is nagging at me to do her science lab with her. Hubby has the next four days off work too, so not sure if ill manage to get much done!

    1. amend hubby's backpack to fit lights DONE 2.1.14
    2. Sew 'stag' cushion for xmas
    3. Sew baubles cushion for xmas
    4. Sew noël cushion for xmas
    5. Knit scarf - I WILL complete this year
    6. Decorate ipad case DONE 3.1.14
    7. Decoupage some sort of jar or tub to use as a 'pound a day' pot (need to get on this sooner rather than later I guess)
    8. Make three cushion covers for sofa DONE 18.1.14
    9. Make Cinderella inspired tulle princess dress for dd

    So my total is 3/14
