Get 'er Done Art Challenge: End of Round One

 

End of Round One

For week one, look here
For week two, look here
For weeks three and four, look here
For weeks five, six, and seven, look here.
 
This has been quite the productive few weeks...
 

I forgot to mention these in my last post.  I make these plastic ring ornaments every year and had some rings left from the last time I made them.  Since I couldn't find the sparkly yarn I usually make them with, I jazzed them up with jingle bells.   
 
 
 
I had all the pieces of this left over from other projects.  All I needed to purchase was a couple strands of garland to wrap the wreath form.
 
I also managed to get some paintings done.




 
These are the last two blankets in my goal of making 12 for Colorado Family Life Center.  They were both made with leftover yarn from my stash.  The star quilt was made from yarn left from the projects I've done this year.
 


I even worked in a little make-it party with Miss Emily.


I also finished my fifth challenge in my Dollar Tree Challenge.  The post is here.
Well, let's see what kind of holiday mischief we can get into.  See y'all later.

Dollar Tree Challnege #5

 

Not a sponsor

I know that Thanksgiving is this week and Christmas decorating will quickly follow after, but I had one more fall project I wanted to add to my autumn table display...


So here's my version of this craft.


I'd bought the Tumbling Tower blocks a few months ago before the crafters started hoarding them all.  (Y'all stop!)  I've just now made time to make them.  I like that these blocks are so small that the project can be held together with high temperature hot glue.  However, if you have kids or pets and want to make these, I'd suggest a stronger glue like E-6000.

Well, with that, I've completed my Dollar Tree Challenge from my 50 for fifty list.  Will I do more challenges?  Absolutely.  Happy  Thanksgiving, y'all.



So, what do y'all think?
