WIP Wednesday:

A while ago I participated in Tamis Amis Work in Progress: Wednesdays, and Finished Object Fridays and it really helped to keep me motivated.  So I have decided to do it again and hopefully keep up with it this time.Right now I have a bajillion projects in the works.

Making a crochet chart of one of my sister Mel's favorite Bass pieces:

I am planning to crochet the first one or two measures as a center panel of an afghan I am working on for her Christmas present.  So far I have:
A tenor Clef

A Turtle Shell Photo Prop and hat:
Pentagon Motifs laid out

Starting to slip stitch the pentagons together

Shell all stitched together



Matching hat

I messed up the color changes at the joins and I will need to  rip back and fix it.

Homemade buttons:




We are adding a faux leather finish to the beat up old steamer chest that lives in our entrance way:



A mystery Project--This project has taken ages and ages because we can only work on it when we go to my Mother-in-Laws house.  There just isn't room ( or tools) for woodworking in our tiny apartment. :





Can you guess what these will be?  I am so excited about them hopefully a couple more trips out to Mom's and we'll have them ready to come home and I can show you  the finished project.

  1. That's a lot of stuff on the go! I love the steamer trunk (I have an antique one at home that forms the backdrops to many of my pictures!)

  5. you have the most wonderful projects going on and those buttons! What a great idea, maybe I should take a look in my dads toolbox ;-).

    By the way, thanks for you lovely comment on my blog. The scarf is good for a beginner, with some help from youtube. I'll try to make a tutorial on this pattern next week.
