The flower-y ATC is going out for a Monthly ATC Swappers group swap - January sender's choice.
The Christmas-y ATC is a re-send - apparently, one of my Christmas ATC partners never received the one I sent! That's totally depressing, as I spent about four HOURS making each of the originals. Unfortunately, I don't have the supplies to re-create the same one, so I had to come up with something different.
On the go: LOTS of inchies, more ATCs. Mostly sender's choice, but also need to tackle one 'Key to my Heart' ATC, one car ATC, one Valentine's ATC, and one more pink ATC.
Yep, I got the U and V ATCs completed - yay! Need to knock out a sender's choice ATC next, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet...we'll see what I'll come up with. Also need to get another pink ATC made, and a bunch of inchies. Love inchies!
I need to head to the dollar store and pick up some canvases and paint, and to Michael's to buy some E-6000 glue - the plan is to paint the canvas, mark out spaces for inchies in pencil, and glue them to the canvases randomly. Yay for inchies! ♥
Kiddo is having a sleepover at my parents' house, and the chublet is sleeping...why am I not in bed? Probably because I was finishing up a zentangled ATC and having fun...then decided I should take a photo and blog before I forget to again!
First photo is two ATCs that are on their way to live with Trysha - private swap on swap-bot.
Second photo is for a Zentangled Key Word for 2011 swap. My partner's word was Peace, and this is what I came up with. :) She likes blue, so I went with that.
Goal for this weekend: Get through work, attempt to tackle my U and V ATCs.
I accidentally mailed a couple of ATCs off without taking a photo first - oops! Bad me! Here's the card I made for a Birthday Cake ATC swap. Birthday cupcakes count, right? I love cupcakes, so I hope so! I'm including an inchie too, because they're fun and I want to share the love! The frosting part of the cupcake is glittery, though you can't see that in my fail photo.
In the works: Finishing another ATC for a private 2xATC swap, U and V ATCs, ATC with matching inchie, and a whole lot of random ATCs and inchies.
Making gestures towards: Tidying my craft stuff. I need a bigger house and more organizing bins! (And more rest, and more motivation...)
I know, I just posted a bunch earlier, but I finished my last card for my A-through-E ATC set, so I wanted to post a (bad) photo of the finished bunch:
A is for Apple, B Bee, C (Sea) Crab, D is for Doll, E is for Ellie.
They were a lot of work - I hope my partner will like 'em! :)
Yes, I'm super tired - getting a solid 8 hours of sleep a night is a dream I'm not sure I'll ever accomplish for real. Maybe one day? With the crib in our bedroom, it means little to no sleep. Cameron is a majorly floppy sleeper, and she's acquired a bad habit of flipping over to her belly and then screaming...because she HATES being on her belly. *sighs*
I -have- been crafting, though! See:
I'm sure there are more, but I suck and don't take pictures of everything before I send it. Oops. I'll try to be better, I promise!
I need to get my hands on more 7-count plastic canvas to attempt my next planned project. And of course, I have several upcoming inchie and ATC swaps coming up, so I'll try to remember to take photos of those as well! (And I still need to finish my E ATC for the A-through-E ATC swap - think I'll probably continue the medium and do a cross-stitch elephant.)
Managed to get to the fabric store today while the kidlet was at school today (thanks, dear husband!) and picked up more 1/8" ribbon for trimming my cross stitched ATCs with, so there will definitely be more of those in the works. :)
