My Little Crafty Corner

Archive for the ‘Knitting’ Category

I have a long list of crafts that I want to make, if only I had time! This part time job, ach rules my life right now. If only the hours were for earlier in the day, then I think I could find the time to craft!

My list:

Knit items

socks (just about have the first pair done, so excited!)
baker sock monkey
stuffed elephant
hats
fingerless gloves/mitts
slippers
sweater (style to be determined)

Scrapbooking

Get caught up, with what pictures I have printed thus far, then to tackle the thousands upon thousands that need to be printed.

Jewelry

Button bracelet (saw on Pinterest)

One day I will be able to just sit and craft!

This is what I have been busy working on for the last few weeks.

Three more to go then I will be done! I am itching to get back to the socks I have been working on, as I want to wear them!!! I am excited to see what everyone thinks, as they are the first I have made, and hope to whip out more!

So my father in law messed up a gift I wanted to make for him this year, but I am going to outsmart him and make him a set of golf club covers anyways, and will also include in the gift a golf garmin gps, as a joke kind of gift. Even though it will be an awesome gift, as when he and my hubby go out golfing, one if not both of them tend to lose a few golf balls that they never find.

Heck I may even get one for my hubby as well, for when he goes out with the boys. I will be on top of Christmas gifts this year!

This is on my knitting agenda for the week. I have been asked to make 15 wash clothes for a bridal shower for this weekend. I have 7 done, and so hoping that I can finish up the remainder 8 by then! I will have to put everything else on hold and start saying no to other things for the rest of the week. If I only didn’t have to go to work for 4 hours every night! I am going to do the rest of them, in a very generic pattern, so it will go much quicker.

Wish me luck!

I have to get working on my grocery list for the week, with lots of goodies to be had for tomorrow night. The yummy bean dip has been requested, along with some other munchies. I am hoping to find some Rolo’s, so I can make the pretzels that I didn’t get to make or Christmas.

I am hoping to get some baking done this weekend as well; muffins, cookies, candy. I may have to make a stop at the video store and pick up a few movies for the night as well; as well as a stop at Hobby Lobby to pick up some yarn for my next knitting project.
