craft list

A new semester is almost upon me, and I want to get my crafting stuff in order so that I can use the activity of making as a way to unwind from academics.  An inventory of supplies is in order, but for the moment I thought I’d list all the stuff I’ve started or thought about starting.

Started:

  • Quilt!
  • Indelible studios embroidered blog header
  • barrettes with yo-yos
  • gray knitted scarf with black details
  • cotton washcloths
  • coffee sweaters

Want to start:

  • another gray/brown knitted scarf or shrug?
  • cross-stitch sampler
  • embroidery for friends
  • sewn pencil cases
  • refashioned shirt projects

Need to get additional supplies for:

  • More vintage button barrettes
  • Vintage button brooches
  • baby blanket for H’s baby – knit? crochet?

Just a few images from our trip to Old World Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago…
