I'm just posting this so I remember what I want to do. And it's always fun to share...
Here are my crafts/projects that I would like to complete this year, in no particular order:
Quiet Books – 6x6 sheet protectors tied really well with double colorful ribbons thru the hole punches
-My Favorite Colors – use that background color then take pictures of them wearing/ surrounded by that color.
-Temples of the World – include at the end picture of our family in front of the temple saying FCBTF or lyrics to I Love to See the Temple.
-Follow the Prophet – pictures of each prophet and what their focus was during their time.
-My Gospel Standards – Mormon Ads on patterned colored paper with Primary Gospel Standards at the end.
-Articles of Faith – Print of each AoF on clear paper w/ picture of what it’s talking about framed in background.
Jewelry - Make green button bracelet, earrings and headband for E for St. Patrick’s Day.

And...Finish the denim tiered skirt I started many months ago... lol
I'm seriously thinking of making one of those old-time quilt frames that you used to see at Quilting Bees. I found a pattern online and have a jigsaw so I think I can do it. Right now I have a small PVC type one and it's OK but I have to move it often.
What are some things YOU want to make this year?
That is a mondo list! Hmmm, my years craft goals? Sewing, painting, tiling, yikes! too many to count. Think I might take up frame making. Have fun with your jig-saw, I LOVE mine!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you sewing? I'd also love to hear what you've done with your jigsaw. I bought it so Zachary could earn his Craftmanship in Cub Scouts and get the special 20 patch for earning all 20 activity pins. He had to make a picture frame for one and boy it would've been helpful to have a 90 degree angle marker. We used a lot of glue for filling in the mitered corners. lol Black paint helped hide it all.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow girl, I thought I had a long list. There aren't that many craft nights in a year :)
