3rd and 4th Goal Completed

I am on a roll today.  I completed 6 reusable coffee sleeves for my Etsy Shop today.  I have plenty more cut out, but if I take them 6 at a time it will make it feel less overwhelming!  Here are the ones I added today! 

I also managed to cut out 8 - 6" x 6" squares of flannel to make my daughter a scrap blanket.  She loves blankets so I am taking my scrap flannel (from making my pj pants) and going to pieces them together to form a scrap blanket to use with her babies or for cuddling and watching her show.

2nd Goal Completed!

Yesterday I managed to finish a cute crib sheet for my daughter!  I found the tutorial here at "Made."  It was a very easy tutorial and I look forward to making many more crib sheets for her.  I used a Sew Classic Knit fabric from JoAnns.  It is very soft and is cool to the touch at night which is very comforting to her.

Here are a couple of pictures of the completed project!

Well I have successfully completed 2 out of the 7 projects I had on my to-do list for this week!  There is about 9 hours left in the day today...let's see how many more I can finish before I head to bed!

1st Goal Completed!

I managed to actually complete one of my craft goals for the week.  I made a very soft blanket made from flannel and dot minky.  I cut the flannel in to a 33" x 33" square and then pinned it to the dot minky.  I sewed around the edges (leaving a 4" stretch unsewn to turn the fabric right side out).  I then top stiched around the endge for a nice finished edge!

This makes a great baby gift for a friend or family member...or for your own child!  It is light enough to be a great Spring stroller blanket or a nice cuddle blanket in the summer time.  I love how it turned out!  The nursery for my friends baby is birds...this was the closest flannel I could get to match the nursery design :)  I hope that she enjoys it!

Craft Goals for the Week

Now that I have really neglected this blog (and my crafts...**gasp**)...I am determined to jump back on it starting today!  I am sharing my list of "craft goals" for the week...let's see how many I can achieve!!

• Make 6 java sleeves and post them on my Etsy shop {Completed 3/19/11}
• Finish a blanket I have started for a baby gift {Completed 3/15/11}
• Begin cutting flannel squares for a scrap blanket {Completed 3/19/11}
• Attempt to finish knitting a scarf I started over a year ago (I told you it was bad!) {Completed 3/19/11}
• Cut out another skirt
• Cut out the last pair of flannel pajamas I bought
• Finish a crib sheet for my daughter {Completed 3/18/11}

Okay I think that is a good list to start with...anything extra I will consider a bonus!

I did get 4 pair of bead earrings listed in my Etsy shop today.  I love them!  It is a great new hobby...not that I needed another hobby.
