Current Projects
Here is a list of the projects I'm currently working on. I'll edit and re-edit this as time progresses so keep checking on this entry!

1) The Xmas cards for my friends and relatives. (I got a package of around 50 cards so I may have some leftover. If I do, I could send the rest out to anyone who gives me their address!)
     - I've got a red card with holiday memory paper, ribbon, and (hopefully) an origami/cutout angel to put on the front. I'll take a photo soon of what I've got done so far. Last year I made cards with a snowman made out of foam sheets and wrote personalized messages in each card.

2) A handmade mini journal called "The To Do Book" I want to make for my roommate Amy. Like me, she likes to keep a daily to-do list and I thought it'd be nice to make her a small journal for her to keep all her lists together instead of on loose sheets of scrap paper or have to have tons of sticky notes all over the place.
     - It'll be a pad of note paper covered in cardboard (and the cover will be decorated with nice fabric or memory paper) and binded with ribbon or in a way that the covers can be removed to refill the note pad. The idea is still in my head and still brewing but I found a great intstructions for exactly what I want here.)

3) A portfolio for my sister Joan. I found a pattern in a purse-making book at the library and it's awesome! Doesn't take much fabric to make and seems easy so I'll try and start that this weekend at least.

4) A knit scarf for myself. When I thought knitting was only a grandma thing and no matter how adventurous I got in the world of crafts, I told myself I wouldn't get into knitting. All you crafty folk are a bad influence! You're knitting cool stuff and I want to do it too. So I'm going to pick up a book on learning to knit or find a webpage, whichever I'm not lazy enough to do first, get some yarn that's coincidentally on sale this weekend, and get learnin'. Wish me luck in my first project! A scarf is simple enough, right?
     - I found a pattern here. Thanks ChickKnits for the free pattern!
