Thank you Weezil! I agree that organizing things definitely helps. Okac had suggested I sort all my paper into colors and that has helped a lot.
SM - LOVE the hat! You really have made some beautiful things!

It did! It was very pretty, and happened to match this striped fabric I had!
That reminds me, was it you who made that cake with the super cool pattern when cut? It was so cool - I used your directions to make some cupcakes and mine didn't come out nearly as cool, but people were still impressed! So a belated thanks if it was you :D |

Ack! I'm so behind with this thread! And I didn't start up a blog! Or take any photos of anything! But I am not behind with my crafting goals. (I am shooting for making sure I do creative things every week, rather than finishing a certain number of projects - though actually I'm on target for a project a week, too!)
I've made: 1.5 slippers, lots of fabric flowers (like these but not attached to a brooch, for a swap-bot swap), a lion cushion from a Clothkits kit  , and:
Last week, I started another jewellery class, so if nothing else, that should keep me on track till the third week of March. Last night I made a brass ring and most of a silver ring (which I intend to finish today).
My drop-spinning class on Saturday has been cancelled, because not enough people signed up. I plan to (try to) get started with the drop-spindle & roving that Mohawk sent me in Secret Snowflake, plus YouTube, in the time when I would have been at the class.

I'm really enjoying everybody's efforts, and amazed and proud of you for keeping on the path to your goals.
I stumbled upon this site, in case anybody's looking for inspiration, challenges, or just plain eye candy.

Ooh great job everyone!
I've been lagging mostly because it's so cold here and my hands are always frozen.
But I did manage a few small things and I blogged about them.
I feel like starting another knitting project if only to have something I can do in my nice warm bed. |

Thank you! I love it too :)
Also, this thread has totally inspired me to try out Iris folding...I'm going to see if I can't make a few Valentine's cards this year!

That cake is so cool, okac! And your ceiling fans look sooo clean!
I didn't finish anything this week. Well, I did finish the yoke of my little cardigan, but it's such a small project that I'm not going to be breaking it down into parts. I'm just a sloooow knitter!
But I did start a new project! ha! I started some knitted ipod headphone covers. Posted here: http://bit.ly/e6qF2Q And I changed the theme of my blog to something brighter. |

I finished a dress this week. That makes 4 projects in four weeks, but I think that's the end of a project per week run for me. I only have complicated things up next in the queue.

I had the pleasure of seeing Okacs craftiness today - her place is truly adorable!
I got a little earring crazy this week. They're really fun to make - I do struggle at times with the tiny stitch! Some of you may notice the great framed earring holder! This was a gift from Okac years ago and I really love it. She made me two like the one shown and a larger one that hold many of my necklaces (also made by Okac - I'm so lucky!)

I also made this simple cowl. I used one skein but the pattern actually has you changing colors every one to two rows - it would be great if you wanted to use left over yarns. (I would attach the link for the pattern but need to check with Okac on how to do that! - still learning)

I think I'll be working on cards this next week - unless something else sparks my interest.
Really appreciate seeing everyone's progress - it helps spur me on.
