New Items that I can't wait to make

Hello fellow bloggers!!! It has been quite a while since I have been able to make a post. Somehow, life gets in the way of what I want to do sometimes. My main job of taking care of my 5 children is time consuming. This week I have had to run lots of errands and had little time for much else. Anyway, today I was able to buy some NEW projects and hope to finish up one I have been working on lately. Here is a picture of a corner of my crafting area. It is loaded with projects that would take me 2 years to finish if I did not have children to care for. Needless to say, I have plenty of projects to keep my busy.
Here are two tatting presses that I have been working on. I only have the hand stitching to go.
Somehow, hand stitching is slow going for me. I am going to try and finish one of them today.
I will try to add pictures of the finished product. You can find this pattern at Nifty Needle.

Yummy!!! Here is some new thread I ordered to start a different project.
I want to make a seahorse dragon like this one.
I am also planning on making an Irish Crochet Bookmark.
Does anybody know where I can go to take a class for Irish Crochet.
I think it is so lovely and would love to broaden my skills in this area.

I found this pattern at my local quilt shop. I think these flowers are lovely.
I saw one at a local home interior shop for $7 a piece. I am going to make the
available for sale on this blog when I am finished with them.
I will sell them are pins for $5 plus shipping.

My daring daughter has taken an interest in sewing. I am planning on making this for her.
I think I might even get her to sew it together so that she we take some ownership of it.
I will post pictures of all my finished projects when I get them all sewn or tatted or crocheted up.
Have a great day. Leave comments. I love to hear from you.

  1. My goodness! It looks like you'll be busy for quite some time! I really need to organize my sewing room so that I can try finishing up some projects, as well as start some new ones. I've been so focused on tatting, that I just don't bother with anything else, and there are so many wonderful possibilities! I hope you have loads of fun with all your goodies!
