I'm talking about my craft list!!!
I need to do some serious crafting! I would say I was at my crafting apex during college. For any Cowboys out there, or anyone who came to watch---remember Freshman Follies? Well I participated my freshman year and loved it so much I directed the next year. We were paired with the SAE's that year and our theme was "Opening Night at the Stillwater Dog Pound". Seriously, our group was awesome! We had some great female vocals and did the most amazing 4 part harmony to "How Much is that Doggy in the Window". I wish I had this on tape. oh my, how I digress. Anyhow, the point of this story is that a girl in the show and I made allll the doggy costumes for the boys! How fun! I must have been at Hobby Lobby at least 3 times a month.
Flash foward to NOW....much different story! I MUST reclaim my crafting life.
So, here's what I'd like to get done for the summer (in no particular order)
PILLOWCASE DRESSES FOR ALL THE GIRLS TO WEAR OUT IN COLORADO FOR THE ENSLEY FAMILY VACATION.
MONOGRAMMED CUTE THINGS FOR EMMY, THIS WOULD FIRST REQUIRE AN EMBROIDERY MACHINE...ANY SUGGESTIONS?
CROCHETED NEWSBOY CAP. I PROMISED ONE TO A FRIEND FOR HER LITTLE GIRL AND I HAVE NOT FINISHED IT YET...SO SORRY MY FRIEND! I THINK I MIGHT BREAKDOWN AND ACUTALLY, BUY, gasp, A PATTERN.
AND...I think I will stop myself here. The list doesn't seem that long, but it's definitely long enough. There are TOO many other things I'd like to accomplish but I want to actually be able to complete my list.
So check back in with me at the end of the summer. If I'm successful with my list, I'll write a "post-job" report. If not, then we'll just forget that this partciular post ever existed and I'll add all these items to my exponentially increasing "things I have started but not finished" list.
Goodnight!
That was a pretty dang good production if I do say so myself :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, you know how I love a good crafty to-do list! Although yours is rather short. ;) Compared to my miles-long-never-will-all-get-finished-in-this-lifetime-list! There is a girl in our old LifeGroup that has an embroidery machine and monograms things for people. Let me know if you want her info. :) It's cheaper than buying an embroidery machine, haha.
ReplyDeleteI, too, have a list of crafting that I need and WANT to finish! Love the pillow-case dresses... I need to learn how to make them. They look fairly simple ?

ReplyDeleteMy mom has this one. It's pretty awesome. It's ...uh... a little out of my price range, but at least now I know someone with one. You'd love it. It has autopilot. (Can you really call it sewing when it turns the fabric for you???)
