Winter blues

I feel like the blog for this week will be a little short. When I look back over the week, it doesn’t seem like I’ve done very much or at least not much of a variety of things.

I’ve been knitting on the afghan and have another varigated strip done. I take it to work and knit on it during my lunch hour so it’s not going really fast like it did in the beginning.

I’ve also been sewing on the quilt. I have one strip done, but can’t seem to make myself sit at the sewing machine.  It must be the weather. We’ve gone a week without sunshine and it’s a little depressing. In addition to this, I’m more in the mood to do my sewing in the Spring. I think it reminds me of when I was in school and we did our sewing projects at that time of year. I was so proud of making myself a new dress or outfit.  Spring and sewing-in-the-Spring brings back wonderful memories to me.

The main thing I’ve done this week is finish a few more items to put on WFK’s blog for her Friday craft sections for the month of March. I’ve been having fun with that because I enjoy making small and quick items. Here’s an overview of them:

 

The slippers were made last year as well as the tote bag. All of the other items are what I’ve been finishing up this week. You can see and read about them individually on her blog.

Christmas is still in the back of my mind. When I cleaned off the sewing machine to get it ready to sew, I came across the kit of cross-stitched ornaments that I started several weeks ago. So I spread them out on my table and have been working on them once in a while when I take a break from other projects or housework. 

That’s it for now. Be happy. Be safe. Give someone a hug. Keep those fingers busy. Until next time. . . . . . .
