As I lazed about all day on the sofa, I reflected on how I should finish some unfinished craft projects. Here are some things you can look forward to seeing from me as I work on them in the coming weeks…months…
- More of the quilt for my brother and sister-in-law
- A completed set of dotee dolls
- More ATCs
- Possibly some baking
- Another set of pillowcases
- Some baby blankets for my friends who are about to pop
Tomorrow, I go to serve my country as a juror. From what I hear, there could be a lot of waiting. What should I bring with me?
A book?
Crochet?
Needlepoint? Do they allow needles and scissors into the waiting room?
ATCs, or Artist Trading Cards, are my latest crafting craze. I’ve discovered clear unmounted stamps that cling to an acrylic block (also clear), and I’ve been playing around with these things all weekend. You gotta love the three day weekend!
So, here they are! Click on the pictures to see larger versions.
So sometimes I sign up for swap tags in the Swap-bot forums. It’s a fun little way to do a quick swap and know what you are sending or giving right away.
Tonight I signed up to send someone a Valentine. I wonder what I should send?
Here are some ideas: a scarf, a handmade card, a Valentine ATC, a little Valentine dotee doll (although I’m not sure I’d feel right about that with a dozen unfinished ones waiting to be shipped off), chocolates…
Feel free to comment with your ideas.

It’s like I’m addicted to crocheting. I can’t stop. Christmas is over, and here I am making another scarf. It’s a little skinnier and a little less chunky than the one that I made for Mom for Christmas. I like it. But, I guess I’ll try to sell it on Etsy. What else am I going to do with it?
I decided to try using my web cam to get a picture of the scarf. We’ll see how it turned out. I tried to adjust the colors so you could tell that it really is hunter green. But, you’ll just have to take my word for it.
