Get 'er Done Art Challenge: Weeks 5. 6, & 7

 

 

Weeks Five, Six, & Seven

For week one, look here. 

For week two, look here. 

For weeks three and four, look here.

 

Yes, I know it's been three weeks since I posted, but I actually wanted to have something finished to show you.

 

 

I know I've made a lot of wreaths, but a potential customer wanted a red truck wreath.  Unfortunately, it was not what they wanted.  Oh well.  UPDATE:  Someone else bought this wreath in December. YAY!

 

I've made this particular pattern several times, but not in these colors.  It's called "baby crayons" and it's from an old needlework book I've had since I started crafting.  This is a baby shower gift.  I really like how these colors worked together.

 

 

 

I had a lot of mesh left over from the wreaths and ribbon I've been making and wondered what I was going to do with it.  I've been watching videos I hadn't seen from the crafters I follow on YouTube.  Well, Miss Amber from This Southern Girl Can had the perfect use for my leftovers.  I did have to get some ornaments for the head (which is not a violation of the rules), but I had everything else left in my stash.

OK, y'all.  I'm going to finish round one of this challenge the week of Thanksgiving, then suspend it to get ready for Christmas.  Once my Christmas crafting is over, I will resume the challenge and put myself back on restriction.

See y'all next time.

Get 'er Done Art Challenge: Weeks 3 & 4

 

Weeks Three and Four

For week one, look here. 

For week two, look here. 

 

Weeks three and four were not very productive. 

 

This wreath was the only thing I finished these past two weeks.  I got the idea for the candy pieces from this video from This Southern Girl Can:

I still have leftover ribbon, cardboard cores, and plastic, so I think I'll make some more of these later to use as ornaments or decorations for other art pieces.

I did make a few pairs of baby booties. I'm up to 65 pairs in my 200 pair goal in my 50 for fifty challenge. 

 

The rest of the past two weeks have been pitiable attempts to plug away at some unfinished projects.  True, I had some extenuating circumstances (illness, a huge project to finish, etc.), but I still felt like a lazy slob.  I've been dragging myself out of bed and doing what was absolutely necessary (thank God I'm currently working from home, so I didn't burn up any sick leave and nobody has to know what I smell like without a shower). Each day, I thought I was getting better, but my body said otherwise. Even today, I had a great morning (church was great and seeing friends was fun).  As I headed home, still feeling great, I thought of all the things I could get caught up on.  Then, promptly went home and crashed for the rest of the day.

I've decided to extend my restriction for another month.  So let's see if I can get myself well enough to get some things DONE!

 

Well, see y'all next week.
