My DIY Upcoming Craft Projects

Summertime is a time for most people to relax and enjoy outside activities.

Me?  How am I relaxing and enjoying the summer?

Well, the key word here is relaxing!!

Can you guess what I do to relax in the summertime?

CORRECT!

It IS crafting and making "da list" of things to craft for the Fall craft shows.

On "da list" are new things and old favorites.

So relax and scroll down to see "da list".

Yeah, yeah, I know it a busy schedule and most people would not call that summertime relaxation. But,  that is some people and they haven't commented on this blog for quite a while. LOL.

1. Steampunk  Christmas stockings. For the Christmas Stockings I going to use the pattern and idea found at Urban Threads - Steampunk Boot Stocking   
I've purchased a few steampunk machine embroidery designs and the Steampunk from Urban Threads AKA The Embroidery Addiction site. 

The Steampunk Muse has met with me and we brainstormed for a different kinds of Christmas Stockings.  Dragons were mentioned a lot, besides Steampunk motifs. This Muse likes dragons.                                                                                  Me? What's not to like about Dragons!!  Nothing!! Just ask one.  Here is a pix of Urban Threads Steampunk Christmas Stocking. Hope mine come out as good .



1.  Free Standing Lace Anytime Ornaments- I have purchased a few new machine embroidery designs.  Going to make this one first - Ballerina in 3D (lace) . Design from EmbroideryLibrary.    
   
    
2. Machine Embroidered Bookmarks-I'm going to put the petal to the medal melt down my embroidery machine, making bookmarks.
   
3. Some of these Cool Pouch Bags that I purchased from DisOrderly Threads. 
   
   
   
4. And have to go through my fabric stash to sew more Fabric Covers for Composition Notebooks.
   
5. I have to do this-Computer keyboard wrist rests (say that really fast 10x's) They are  fun and fast and of course have the fabric for them - tons of ideas.  I love practical useful things and besides I had carpel tunnel surgery and use a keyboard wrist rest.
   
6. And then I'll make some more of my charmed bookmarks. Got to make comic book ones also, because I'm almost out.
   
7. I'll patch it up making more patches. Bought some really fun ones.
   
   
   
8. And of course, I'll be side tracked  and add tons of more stuff (like usual)!!   So anything goes and don't expect many posts until I have some items to show you.
