Jenni inspired me to go through my crafty to do's. i've gotten more done on this list than i expected - i never think to refer to it. i'm really hoping to be inspired to stick to a few things on here that i've been wanting to try.
Sew
- figure out how to cut straight...
- still working on it, but getting better
- oven mitts and pot holders (here and here and here)
- bought oven mitts - this wasn't at all intriguing for me
- recieving blankets (for kelly mccaleb's project)
- didn't have enough fabric to fit the required dimensions
- pajama pants (from In Stitches by Amy Bulter
- purse for me (i have to choose???): pleated beauty handbag from amy karol's book, pillowcase bag, wasp bag, birdie sling, in LOVE with this one, but my sewing skills aren't there yet...
- tried two: the pillowcase bag and the buttercup bag , still want to make another that is bigger and more structured and possibly a messenger bag for school.
- skirt for me (here, here, here, here, here, here, here , or here )
- whew! that is a lot of options! i might just have to make them all because i live in skirts in the summer.
- waldorf doll (i loved making these as a kid) and/or nutcracker doll from alicia paulson's book
- coasters & placemats to match
- Jess made me some coasters! i still need to find a place mat pattern i like.
- continue practicing & learning the lingo
- eventually sweaters like katie makes!
- soon - after some more confidence and practice
- debbie bliss seed stitch baby shoes
- cast on for these last night. i'm making them for our future baby. it isn't conceived and won't be for a long time, but the only yarn i have works good for baby stuff...and i need to learn how to increase and decrease.
- slouchy beret
- not sure i can pull it off, but i love it. i also want to cut my hair like the girl in the pictures!
- toy elephant
- i love love love this. i think i will have to improve, but i REALLY want to make it.
- baby legs
- i think the knit baby legs are the cutest, but the whole double pointed needle thing is intimidating... soon i will try
- coffee cozy
- i have a friend getting married who LOVES loves starbucks - everyday in college she got at least one. it will forever remind me of her. i was thinking a gift certificate to her fav and two matching cozies would be cute for a shower or wedding gift.
- resume practicing & learn the lingo
- on hold for now
- booties from kelly mccaleb
- on hold for now
- piece together my baby quilt kit from kelly mccaleb
- i'd really like to get this started before school starts....
- day of the week dishtowels
- just going to do two and not include the days. i have the towels - just have to transfer the designs and start stitching!
- snail onesie from alicia paulson's book
- canvas silhouettes
- if we get a house i will FOR SURE be doing this, if we rent i will probably STILL do it!
- key rack
- really want and need to do this!

First, I really like that picture.
I did our silhouettes and it was really hard. I was working on a tutorial then someone else came up with a way better way to do it. Remind me to send you that link. I can't wait to click on all these projects!
I love the idea of the key rack!
By the way, I am getting much better with the hand embroidery, unfortunately not doing to well with the sewing!
