Saturday Roundup

 

It has been snowing and raining here for most of the day. This means I have managed to get some decluttering done, organized the folders containing various recipes and crafts. I actually got everything into one folder and lots of double recipes were tossed. The crafty things were put into plastic sleeves and put in a binder. 

Also, while going through the books on the bookcase to declutter it a bit more, I found the book that I was listing UFP's in. Must at some point figure out if I actually completed any of them and add some new ones that are lying around the house.

Promised you all some pictures of what I have been up to this past week as far as projects are concerned. I will be starting the list from last Wednesday as I did not do a Round-up post last week. 

First off I finished sewing the knit Christmas dress.

I still have to make a belt for this and I think it might just be an I-cord type to use up some sparkly yarn I have.

I finished the knitted blanket for one of Kurt's good friends (another is on my needles right now), the patchwork item beside is going to be used to make a bag front. Got to get using up those 4" squares in something other than a quilt.

These are the microwavable bags for baked potatoes. One each for Kurt and Kris, and I think two for us. I loved making these and I think I will make some more for the silent auction in a year or two. 

These are the hot pads I made for us. The ones I made for Kurt and Kris are identical material but much larger so as to protect their tables or countertops.

I also got three casseroles out of the leftover bags of ham in the fridge freezer. 

All in all a pretty good week of finishes. Hopefully there will be a few more for next week. 

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.
