Things left undone

Another week has gone by. I think that after all that wishing that my days at work would be quick, I forgot how much I was wishing away my wedding planning and also my craft time. I've been more than tired each night that I've come home but have been trying to complete ideas, as they are stuck in my head and I am looked at like a crazy person when I describe what I want.

So far I have collected a metal basket for my flower girl. And started a flower shaped pillow for the ring bearer, however, I realized that I had a metal purse that looks like a pillow in the closet. I am not sure if the young boy would want to cry a purse, but I am torn between the pillow and the purse. I guess, I have to finish the pillow first for comparison.
The next couple of pictures are of my crochet hook holder that I made and a coffee cup sleeve. I have this beautiful burgundy piping that my mom gave me years ago and I wanted to play with it a bit. It makes my things look much more polished than they would normally.

Meanwhile, I have been dutifully working on my Mudflap Tank. I am so close to finished, I can almost feel the cotton on my skin. The piece is very heavy now, as I have been knitting it on circulars to try to get away from side seams, sneaky!!

Well that's all for now. I'm extremely tired but I have a lot to do if I want to squeeze out every bit of this weekend.

Too Little hours

I envy those who are working in Utah now. They have 4 day work weeks with 3 days off. I'm not sure if it applies to the service industry because theoretically, they would have more people coming out to eat and things on their long weekends. Anyway. I have too little time to do housework and crafting equally. Regretably my crafting wins out and my house looks a bit disheveled, depending on when you catch me. I guess it doesn't help to be going to sleep by 10 pm but what can a girl do?

So what have I been working on? Well, wedding things. For one I am doing my guy's boutonnieres. I think that I will save some funds making them myself from peacock feathers. I need to add something to it though but I can't figure out what.




I have also finished matching aprons for my friend and her daughter. Granted her girl is not even a year yet but I had a request that I had to finish.


And here is Cedric modeling this cat stole. Really it's something I had buried in a bag that I made on the plane last visit to NOLA.
I am still working on my mud flap t but it's almost done. I can probably push myself tomorrow, after cleaning up of course! ;). I have to move on to other projects, one being a felted purse or two.

See you on the next update.

First Post... Time for Catch up

So it's time for my own crafting and a personal release blog. I think that I spend a whole lot of time on creating my sewing, cooking, knitting and hopefully crochet crafting projects and little time highlighting the finish products. I hope that one day I can create my own knitting patterns for others and possibly some tutorials. Lately, I've been trying to use my crafting as bit of therapy. Which I am sure that a lot of people use it for. With a wedding and both my mom and brother being ill, I've needed an escape.

Lately, I have been consumed in making the Mud Flap Tank Top from the Stitch and Bitch book. It has actually taken over my sock time (now on sock two of Monkey from Knitty) . This is my first adult project that is wearable. It's also for me so I hope that it turns out really well.

Meanwhile. My soon to be hubby and I went to a farm to purchase peacock feathers. I hope to use these feathers in my up coming wedding. We are having a Moroccan themed wedding with lots of colors and hopefully a lot of decor with little buck bang. We'll see how it works out.

So that's my craft blog number one for now. I hope to do more later... Nah.. I WILL do more later.
