I'm using my "Organized Christmas" notebook that I made a couple of years ago and never used. I started updating the calendars and added some lined paper for keeping up with my Christmas Crafting. But now it's July and I had better get busy!The July challenge is 'Home Decor Gifts'. For this first gift, I'm killing two birds (but not the Early Bird!) with one stone. I'm creating a home decor gift - a square baby-sized quilt that can be used for a baby, a table topper, or a wall hanging. I'll decide later who the recipient will be. {I want to give it to my friend who is planning another baby, but since she's not pregnant yet, I can't officially say it's going to her.} But I'm using my hand dyed muslin and will have a sample of work for photographing, promotion, and marketing.
Here is the table I cut the pieces on today. I moved the table in front of my computer so I could watch movies on Netflix while I cut the pieces.Tonight I'm working on another home decor project. This one was originally planned for me, but may go to someone else. It is a knitted afghan. This past winter, I used my shawl for blanket rather than wearing it as a shawl. I decided to 'frog' it and use the yarn (worsted weight) for an afghan. I found more yarn to go with it and have been happily working on a mitered squares, patch work afghan. I'll keep working on this till its big enough - either when I run out of yarn or get tired of working on it. I've found more colors and some hand spun to use with it, and I love the direction it's going.
I'll try to have photos soon of other projects that I've completed and others I have planned along with progress photos of the quilt and the afghan. Till then, take care and enjoy!
