November 2019 Box and Project Plans

      For this month, I will actually have 114 items because one of the projects that I plan to create has 96 pieces to it! The first 3 sets of projects center around hemming. 
November 2019 Box. Doesn't look like much. But there's a lot more under the clothes!
Project #1

I previously cut this pair of burgundy wool shorts shorter and serged the edges so that it wouldn't fray. The only thing I have left to do, but never got around to it, is sewing the hem so that it would have a more finished look. However, I couldn't find a matching thread, so instead, I am going to use the iron-on adhesive tape.




I will be using this for Projects #1 and #3. 
(I am only counting 2 of them)






(2 items)

Project #2


These shorts fit perfectly in the waist. However, the length is too long. Rather than cutting and hemming with the iron-on tape, I plan to fold the edges up and then sewing them in place with an invisible stitch.



(1 item)



Project #3


This skirt is also too long, but I will cut it shorter, serge the edges, and iron-on the adhesive to make sure the edges are tucked in rather than exposed.




(2 items)




Project #4

This is the project that has the 96 pieces to it. I had cut these denim squares about 2 years ago and just left them neatly packed up. I plan to sew this denim blanket for another friend's dog. I may add a fleece or minky material to the bottom in the next month's challenge.








(96 items)




 Project #5

This is a blanket that I will be crocheting for a very close friend of mine for the holidays. I counted each skein of yarn as an item. From my estimation, I may need more skeins of yarn to finish the completed size.




(8 items)


Projects #6

This yarn is for crocheting a set of hat and scarf for a third friend of mine. I plan to create a big Pom Pom at the top of the hat.










(3 items)




Projects #7 and #8

The final 2 projects for this month's challenge will be reading both of these books simultaneously since one is fiction and the other is non-fiction. (I follow PeruseProject on Youtube and it's fascinating how fast she reads -- I decided to try reading one of her all time favorite series.)



(2 items)


This month's challenge has some easy and some long projects. But, I am staying optimistic. Well, I better get creating! I will update every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Stay tuned!

October 2020 Plans

      For this month's plans, I will be working on a few projects that I thought are really cool. They all turn out to be crocheting projects, but it's worth it, especially as the weather turns colder.     The first project is a gingham blanket, which I have always wanted to try, but never got around to it until now. I was amazed by the pattern that Daisy Farm Crafts, on YouTube, shared last year. I plan to use my three sets of Caron Simply Soft yarn to create it. I have 3 of each shade of blue and actually started it last week:   4 rows completed     I definitely need to work on the tension since this is my first time making this pattern, and I could already see some parts of the blanket as being looser than the beginning part. (I just placed it nicely in the picture so it wouldn't look so wonky.) I know I should have created a swatch first, but I couldn't wait to start. Here is the video to the tutorial: Crochet Griddle Stitch Gingham Blanket by...

October Update I

Image
 This past week I was able to work a bit more on the blanket and start on the sweater, which I was able to find some unused yarn from storage: Hopefully this will be enough to make the sweater. As for the blanket, I was able to crochet three more blocks of rows and start on another. I'm thinking this blanket may need two months to complete since I will mostly work on it over the weekends. Starting to look very good! Seems like it will fit the width of the bed. I also started on the long-sleeve sweater with the heather gray yarn. I restitched the collar portion three times in order to get a cleaner look. I am excited to create the rest of the sweater! The top collar was redone twice. I decided to try for a third time by making the collar at the bottom. (Took about two hours to make one collar!) Added the bottom portion of the collar. After stitching the collar ends together.

November Update IV

Image
 I've definitely underestimated how much time and energy I would be able to put into my projects these past few days. December is going to be a busy month, for sure. I have numerous projects to complete, especially within the first two weeks of the month since I need to give them away as gifts soon. (I'll get more into the details in the December Box post) I do have pictures of what I've decided to declutter for the minimalism game: Day 26 (Books and a knitting needle set) Day 27 (A few clothes -- more updates at the end of this post) Day 28 (24 magnets, 2 sheets of paper, a Kirigami set, and a bookmark) Day 29 (A variety of craft supplies -- more updates at the end of this post) Day 30 (30 hanger clips) Extra Items that were Decluttered 31 more hanger hooks 14 more books 6 small canvases 39 old batteries 1 broken projector I decided to declutter more items because I kept some items, listed here: I couldn't part with these boots or this Spanish set. I also couldn't ...
