So yes, it's true, I actually finished a craft project. And, not just sorta finished, but still need to do clean up, but completely finished. Remember that quilt I was working on back in November and December? Well, it's now completely done. All the pieces are sewn together, the edges are finished, and the random strings have been snipped off. I even washed and dried it just to make sure no colors would bleed or holes open up. The quilt is really cute and going to be a present for some friends of mine who have a baby due soon. I'll post a picture after I give the quilt away (so I won't ruin the surprise in the highly unlikely chance they read my blog)
So, now that the one project for their baby is done, back to the thousand projects for my baby.
I finished another row on my denim rag rug. It's gotten to the point where one pair of my husband's blue jeans makes one round on the rug. On the upside, that means my rug is getting bigger, on the downside, it means I may run out of blue jeans before I get the rug as big as I originally wanted it to be. The rug is currently the size of a doormat (1.5'x2.5') I'm hoping to get it to be the size of a small area rug (4' x 5'). We'll see what happens, it's a great 'never-ending project' in that I can just tuck the end under the rug and no one will know it's still being worked on.
I need to work on making cloth diapers, but I'm waiting on hearing back from a friend as to sizing, so at least I have a good reason for procrastinating on that one!
Recently I got the idea of making sleepers for the baby with patterns I got from a friend. I even bought a zipper at Walmart for the job (by the way, zippers are kinda expensive). Maybe that will be my project for this week in my miniscule amounts of free time.
