Cross-Stitch:

Noah’s birth/baby sampler


–What’s left to do… I can not find this!! I know I had it when we emptied out the loft (it is with some brown felt, which I also can’t seem to find)… once I do find it, I know that I don’t have too much left to do with this. I’m pretty sure I’m about 75% done with the stitching and then I still have to back-stitch and add Noah’s birth info onto it and frame it. First things first though and that is to find it!!

Halloween picture

–What’s left to do… too much! I think I have a little over half of the stitching done and then I still have to back-stitch it all to finish it off.

Knitting:

Sewing:

Noah’s alphabet and number bean bags w/ bag to hold them  - Finished!!!

–What’s left to do… I have cut and painted all of the squares for the numbers, I’ve also printed out all of the letters of the alphabet and still have to cut them out to make stencils. I have to cut out the rest of the fabric squares for the alphabets (both lower and uppercase), paint the letters and then sew and fill 60 beanbags. (I’m thinking I may make a separate blog post as a tutorial!)

Update 2/17/10 – The numbered bean bags are finished, so now I have 52  26 left to do!

Bean bags - numbered

Update 8/11/10 – I finished the alphabet bean bags !!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lightly padded camera pouch for my Canon ELPH - Finished!!!

–What’s left to do… Add batting to pad it and then sew it into a pouch. This isn’t the ideal choice in fabric, but I wanted something quick and took the first thing I could grab out of my limited stash. I may make another with cuter fabric once all of the other projects are done.

The finished product:

Handmade camera case

Belly Bands Finished (baby’s here)

–What’s left to do…I have 3 tops cut to size with 2 pinned and ready to sew. I need to cut the last two tops to size, pin the three and then sew, sew, sew.

Update 2/17/10 – 2 belly bands have been sewn….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Misc craft:

Snowman ornaments

–What’s left to do…mold and paint the “carrot” noses, paint faces and sew a quick fabric hat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Memo Boards (set of 4)

–What’s left to do…I have 2 pretty much completed and need to do the other 2 (add batting and fabric to the cork board). To make them a little more stable I’m adding some foam-board to the backs (didn’t realize how flimsy it would be with just the cork).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Initials – R & M

–What’s left to do… I want to Modge Podge some scrapbook paper onto these and distress the edges a bit. I got them before the kid(s), so it’s just the first initials for Ray and my names, I may or may not add the kids initials later.

Blue pillow for Noah – Finished

–What’s left to do…Nothing!! It was finished shortly before I finished writing this page!
