So i really couldn't keep up with the thing of the day. i just worked on projects that already had going on most of the time.

Day 12
blanket square
yarn, lion brand amazing, needles size 8, pattern knitting today simple rib square

Day13

baby hat

I used Knit Picks Stroll Sport rainforest heather  and Knit Picks Swish Worsted marine heather
size F hook to get the smallest size hat. the pattern is The MC by Afya Ibomu ,Get Your Crochet On! Hip Hats & Cool Caps

                                                                             Day 14
tote bag
hand sewn i used Simplicity 2830 for the base of the bag. I didn't have enough fabric to make the whole thing right. its not lined its  just a gift bag for the baby stuff I'm making.

Day 17


socks
yarn Noro Kureyon Sock , dpn size 1, pattern  #06 Rapunzel Stockings by Ysolda Teague , size 10/ large.
i don't like the way they turned out or the yarn. so I'm going to give these away.

I'm working on a new quilt in blues and black. here's a preview


i saw this quilt on craftster and liked it alot so i based my quilt on it. baby step,baby step i can't just jump up to those crazy million piece quilts yet.

quilt and more

now on my list of being a kick but crafter i really didn't see quilting being one. that was until i saw cool art quilt. i really liked it, because it doesn't have to fit perfectly, like the other things I've sewn

so i wanted to learn the basic with very basic quilt. I really didn't even look for help until i got to the quilting it all together. so I'm sure that its all wrong.

I used the left over fabrics from some of my other sewing projects. I don't know how to use my sewing machine with out it freaking out. so this is all hand sewn. one thing i must say is i don't like how it has all these little knots from starting new thread. so next time i will have to look into how to prevent it.but other then that i think it went well.

it took me about seven days to finish this. its 30x43





day 7
I made cupcakes for Toby and also had a dorky poem to go with the little cupcake kids. but you don't need to see that




day 8
I made a little cat toy. its knit with acyclic yarn, and has a resealable pocket for adding more catnip

day 9 I didn't finish anything. but i worked on a blanket square from my knitting today! magazine.

Have i told you about this knitting today, they keep sending me my magazines a month late. i have no idea why. i emailed them about it and they just told me they have until the sell by date to get it to me. which didn't make me the happiest camper. but i kinda like the magazine.its no knit.1 but its better then most

2-7

So this thing a day

day 1
embroidered hoop with a picture of me and my love. i used some chalk stuff, that i found in my donation box. i love it when i finally have a use for the things that people donate to me.

day 2



needle books. As soon buy some more needles I'd like to not lose them all again. the first one is scraps for some of my other projects. the second one is just some felt.

day 3

Baby booties. I don't know how big babies feet are but these seem way to big. so i guess they can just be a decoration. i made them for my soon to be second cousin yea the one that i don't know the gender of yet

day 4
some valentines bead. they are made of polymer clay . i haven't made anything with my clay in a while. they were all dried out and hard to work with . i used some liquid clay to soften. them up.

day 5
jewelry made from those beads. the necklace is a little ugly, so I'm just going to use it as garland or something. I really love the earrings. and i wore the charm bracelet to work and lost a charm.

day 6
 I worked on a row of my quilt. and knit a couple of rounds of my sock. and tried to make a crochet beaded bracelet that i saw on knit and crochet now it looked all easy on TV. not so in real life. i guess that kinda thing takes a lot of practice.
