The gift list has begun…

So it’s only August, I know, but like any good crafter, I’ve started my upcoming birthday and Christmas “to make” list. It’s imperative that I actually make the list in August, because history has shown that I’ll go out and buy all the supplies but will not actually start sewing anything until November 30th. At midnight.

So it helps to have everything purchased and neatly organized by project for whenever the motivation bug hits. I’ve got a wide range of items on my list – from plates (which I’m hoping the husband can be convinced into helping with!) to purses to luggage tags (check out the tutorial from Skip to my Lou). I’m pretty psyched to get started and push this non-productive summer behind me!

What’s on your crafty to-do list?

Whew, talk about busy

Does this summer seem more packed than usual, or is that just me? It’s been awhile since I’ve posted folks – sorry for the long delay! Here’s what I’ve packed into the past month:

  • a beach trip

  • a business trip

  • two quilt shop visits & a few more interviews

  • dinner out with friends

Speaking of the quilt shop visits and interviews, for my quilt guild’s website I’ve volunteered to focus on some shops and owners for the next month or two. It’s been an enlightening experience as each owner has a different point of view and are at different points in their business cycles. I’ve met with recent openers and ones who expect to close soon (OH NO! – I know, that one was heartbreaking to hear). I’m excited to post those interviews soon along with all the wonderful eye candy from the shops.

I’m also hoping to have some of my items up on etsy one of these days. Sometimes real life just gets in the way of my to do list :)

So, what have you been up to?
