My LNS Ericas Craft and Sewing Center has a new blog! I just discovered this today, I'm a tad slow on keeping up with things like this!

Latest!

I have been trying to not start alot of new things until I finish alot of projects that I already have started. I'm terrible about starting things and then moving on before I complete them.....So many pretty, interesting things to do, so little time!!!!

I picked up a wolf project that has been sitting here for years and am trying hard to finish it. The only things I allow myself to start are things I know have a deadline to be finished. Some poems for Cole's Quilts, a crocheted afghan for a friends child. I still have my Woodland Santa tree skirt going also. I've finished several crochet projects and a few cross stitch ones also!

I will take a picture of the wolf cross stitch later but here's my progress on the tree skirt.

Sarah's squares

Sarah's squares are done! Now to finish Cody's stocking...

Trying, trying, trying.......

Well I put the tree skirt down to work on Cody's stocking, then I put Cody's stocking down to work on 2 Care Bear squares for Cole's Quilts. Do you see a pattern? LOL

The year is winding down and I'm thinking about my list and how much (or little) I've accomplished. I still have a couple of months so hope to finish the stocking and tree skirt but we'll see. I've managed to not make a single ornament. None of my WWS patterns are even started but I knew when I made my list that I wouldn't get it all done in a year. It did keep me focused on my projects more so than other years so maybe I need to readjust the list for next year. Otherwise it will be November again and I will still have no Christmas ornaments even started!

New pictures of Cody's stocking

So far, so good! I was hoping this one would go faster but I'm not fond of the pattern so it is hard to work on it. I can usually find something else I would rather do. I need to get this finished so I can stop worrying about it and move onto something I like better...

Cody's Stocking

I had to put my tree skirt aside so I could start on Cody's stocking. He chose a nutcracker which is definitely not my favorite but it's his stocking so his choice. Here it is so far


And this is what it will look like when it's done.

I have been working really hard on this one! Would love to finish it before I switch to something else but probably won't work out that way. I have to do at least 1 more stocking for my other son. I really, really need him to pick out which one he wants and soon!


Here's David's finished stocking. I really like the way it turned out.
