It’s Tuesday again…time to have some sparkling water in my favorite glass and link up with Elizabeth for T stands for Tuesday.20140601_5021        So what I have I been up to lately?  I’ve been doing more crafting than blogging….          And more yard work than crafting. Weeding, mowing, planting and watering…  But now that we’ve had over 4 inches of rain, at least I don’t have to worry about the watering.

Now on to the random crafts…20140601_4987Here we have scarf/necklace made from my favorite tie-dye t-shirt. I finally had to give the shirt up after discovering a huge unrepairable hole.  Apparently I wasn’t ready to completely part with it…

20140601_5010I started this American Girl doll hat when Little J and I were at our camp. One of the little girls asked if she could have it when I was done. Well certainly, my dear. I used my cabbage dyed yarn and knitting loom.

Then, of course, more cards…20140601_5008 20140601_5007 20140601_5006 20140601_5005 20140601_5003I’m trying to get ahead for the Fall/Winter craft sale season.

I was going to share one more new item today but I’m thinking that it deserves it’s own post. It’s something new that I’ve never tried. I was inspired by something on YouTube. Basically to think outside the box.  That’s generally how my brain works anyway.

Stop back tomorrow and see what I’m talking about. (how’s that for a teaser)

What are you doing today??

I’ve been back on a knitting and sewing kick….again.

I can’t seem to get myself down to my artspace long enough to unearth my table again. Today, since it was pretty warm, I tackled the driveway…I finally found the blacktop under all that compacted snow! I’m going to have some sore shoulders tomorrow!

I’m excited to say that two of my hand knit items have been included in Etsy Treasuries in the last two days!  How’s that for a little boost of confidence. :)

No, I haven’t changed my allegiance…
I’m still a Vikings fan.  
Little J had a birthday party to go to today for a neighborhood friend. 
The Packer fans on the block.
It seemed fitting that her American Girl doll would be a Green Bay fan as well. 
The gifts should have been opened by now so I think it’s safe to post this. 
If not…hey, what are you doing browsing the internet while the party is going on?!?!
Put that smart phone away.

 

I’m really happy with the way all the random fabrics from my scrap bin came together in this American Girl doll sleeping bag.

 

Love this color combo. Makes me think of yummy treats.

See…I have been working a on few things. Just slower to finish any of them during the summer. Too many other fun things to do like go to the beach with the kids.

 

You may (or may not) have noticed that I have not posted anything since last Wednesday. 
I had intentions of completing projects but my back had other plans. An ice pack, ibuprofen and my chiropractor have been my friends this past week.
While sitting and icing, I’ve managed to finish The Help.
I like to read the novel before seeing a movie based on the book.
 And this, otherwise not comfortable, chair my friend. It has a nice firm straight back…something none of our the seating seems to provide. 
It’s made of elk antlers and is over 100 yrs old. 
I want to recover it in something more interesting than what is currently on it. 
It was my Grandfather’s chair. 
He traded an eye exam and glasses for it with a North Dakota Congressman or Governor in the early 1900’s. 
I’ve heard the story both ways. 
Pretty neat, huh! 
It’s definitely a conversation piece!!
The reason for the doll in the chair is to show one project that I did complete.

A tiny knit hat for Rosie.
Well my back has had just about enough sitting in front of the computer.
I’ll have to go check out the rest of the Tea Tuesday links over at Kimmie’s blog later.
