Although I haven't blogged in 6 months (!!!), that doesn't mean I haven't been busy crafting, sewing and crocheting. In fact, quite to the contrary. The good news is that I always photograph everything I make with the intention of sharing it here, so I now have enough blog material for rest of the year. ;)
Let's dive right into it, shall we? How about a crafty Christmas wrap-up?
First up, a queen anne's lace scarf. It's a little messy looking if you don't block it, but some light blocking worked wonders! I know I always say this, but I want one for me now!
This Christmas runner was for my mother-in-law. I made another one in a different print my my mom, but forgot to take a picture.
This bag was for my sister Katie. I actually bought a pattern for this one, which I rarely do, but in this case it was totally worth it. Terrible picture, but I'll definitely be making another one like this for me. I scaled the pattern down for Katie's purse, but the original pattern, the two zip hipster, can be found here.
Some wool wrist warmers for my sister Hannah:
This was my first time experimenting with crocheted cables and it couldn't have been easier.
This was for my sister and her almost-fiance, a quote from Song of Solomon:
And a framed hymn for said almost-fiance (his favorite):
An reversible apron and matching hot pad for my sister Rosie:
I didn't really do much homemade for the kids this year, but I did refinish a little table for Maddie to use as a vanity. She looooves it and uses it every day, so that was a win!
I was pretty crafty this year with my home decor this year and finally made new stockings for the four of us. But I'll wait until Christmas time to share those - no one feels very Christmassy in January! Alrighty! Signing off for what I hope is not another 6 months...

Wow, you have been busy! I love everything, especially the table runner. I really need to make one of those ... did you use a pattern or just wing it?
ReplyDeleteGirl! I need pattern links, or tutorials or something. I want to make a bunch of that for my new house or Christmas gifts this year. Help a girl out!!
ReplyDeleteBtw, have you ever check out my friends blog, alli crafts? She has tons of fun free crochet patterns and I think you would love them. :)
Tips on refinishing? I'm going to paint some furniture for C's new room but I'm intimidated.

ReplyDeleteIt’s always exciting to realize just how much creativity has been happening behind the scenes! All that crafting, sewing, and crocheting sounds incredibly productive, and it’s great that you documented everything—you’re set with inspiration for months to come. Sharing that kind of progress is so motivating, much like reading Help With GED Test reviews can encourage learners by showing what’s possible with the right support and preparation.
ReplyDeleteThat feeling really captures moments of quiet curiosity and waiting. Sometimes expressing yourself through small creative details helps break that silence, whether it’s writing, sharing stories, or even adding personality through things like Custom Printed Patches on everyday items. Little expressions can make those quiet moments feel a bit more connected.
