2023 crafting for all...

[chandab]

Just thought I'd start the 2023 crafting thread.
I don't have anything new to share, yet; but hopefully will fairly soon.

I have been crafting like a mad woman since Christmas. I don't know what got those juices stirred up. One project is to take apart a paper tree I made several years ago and use the trunk for artifical pine branches so it will look like a charlie brown tree. Haven't finished that yet. This is a little tuck pillow I made. I designed the text font. Each letter is on a separate sheet of graph paper; it would have been more balanced if I had done the whole thing on a single sheet. But it turned out all right. Luckily I am not a perfectionist!

I am sure we have all read those stories of the little old lady who has knitted winter hats/socks all year long so when December comes she can donate them to homeless people. That is really inspiring! And this got me thinking…..

My hubby is turning 50 this year and y’all know how wonderful he is to me, and this got me thinking tooooo…..

In honor of my hubby’s 50th year, I am going to attempt to make 50 cat/bear/horse pillows throughout this year to donate in December to charity. And I’m already under way, I have about 6 sewn and ready to be stuffed. I’ll be posting pics soon!

4 completely done, 2 almost there. Hubby is going to help me draw the horse and bear pattern this week, I’m not good a drawing.

A wonderful project Kelly and I your hubby is honored! The cats are so sweet.

The crochet ear bonnet sounds stylish! I tried to learn how to crochet but couldn’t wrap my head around it.

I would love to crochet an ear bonnet for my pony and mini. Where do you find a pattern?

Love that colorful horse fabric on the cats!
I have a crocheted ear bonnet. It has solid ears. I did not make it; I got it from someone in Australia several years ago. It has held up well and washed well.

I like to put a button on the title page of the newsletter I do for our state society. I could find no inexpensive die cut kite buttons anywhere. So I decided to make some. You can see the idea I have for the title page. No sure what color to make the tail bows; paint or colored pencil.

Something I made last year. I hope to make another one this year. Pattern is Ellie Roo. I have a magazine with this design in it.

Beautiful lace-like pattern and the variation is gorgeous.

You are so creative. Love it

Don’t know if this counts as craft or not… but here is the sign that I made for my mini… A while ago

Very artistic! Did you use acrylic paint?

Yes, and I sealed it with an acrylic sealer. I did this sign maybe a year ago.

 

[minihorse]

That's really nice. It reminds me of the painting done on old saws and such things.

Crochet hat I finally finished!
