Whatcha Working on Wednesday

Time to sharing what we we've been working on

for Whatcha Working on Wednesday.

Thank you Leslie for being our gracious host.

You can visit her blog at My Country Home and

see who else is posting for Whatcha Working on Wednesday.

Last week a gave you a peek at this project

I made for Lady Jane.

Here is a photo of the whole thing.

I made it as a tag she can attach to a baby bottle for

a game she had planned for the Baby Shower

she was giving for her daughter.

I had fun creating this for her.

It is basically my own design,

I got the design for the butterflies

from another card I made.

I just changed the colors.

I also made another Sympathy card

for members of our church whose adult

son died of cancer.

It is the same as a card I made previously.

I think I used a different yellow paper this time though.

I find that this design is quick to stitch up which works

great for making a quick card.

I keep plugging away on my BOM

project that I am working on.

Here is the finished MAGIC block.

In yesterday's post I shared more about this project

for the Three or More Tuesday post.

In the meantime I have finished a BELIEVE block and

currently working on another.

~~~~~~~

I have also done some prep work on

a couple of other stitchery projects.

Just not taken any pictures of those two projects

just yet.

~~~~~~~~~~

I am SO close to being done on my apple bowl

cross stitch project for

the Stitch Along Blog I belong too.

Here I finished the blue and white cloth and

have done ALL the backstitching.

I just have a few more odds and ends to

tend to on this project.

Last is my sewing room project.

I finished cleaning out the closet

except for that last little bit still on the shelf there.

The closet is 3 feet wide and 6 feet deep.

The shelf at the end will stay there along with the rod.

The shelf on the right will come down and I will cut it

down to size to add another shelf above the one at the end.

I have a tall, narrow dresser that will fit under the rod at the end

and I will still have some hanging space for

projects I am working on or mending I need to do, etc.

Then I want to use the Elfa shelving system

along the rest of the wall on the right from

top to bottom.

I plan to use the 8" deep shelves.

That way it will fit the depth of the all on the right

and not stick out beyond the door frame.

And I won't keep bumping my shoulder or arms walking in

and out of the closet.

The wall on the left I want to use to hang

a bunch of flat items,

like a yardstick, stencils,

smaller cutting mats,

quilting tools that

have a hole to hang them from

and so on.

I just don't know how I am going to

do that yet.

I don't want the hooks to stick out too far.

I don't want to be accidently bumping into them too much.
But before I can start all that,

I have to get what is still left in there, out.

And clean the walls.

And then apply primer,

then paint it yellow to go with the rest

of the room.

I think I have my work cut out for me here!!
Never a dull moment around here!

Happy Wednesday!
