A Creative Update

It has been an unbelievably long time since I have talked about anything creative here. Too long.

Time for a little creative update, if you will:

I put my Cozy Stripe Blanket aside before we went on our holiday and have not gotten back to it yet...soon though, after all I did declare that I wanted it done by Christmas.

On the weekend, I sat myself down for a well overdue scrapbooking session. Fueled by tea and Kacey Musgraves, I made some headway and should have some finished layouts to show you soon.

I started making a huge shawl; this is what I took with me on our holiday. I am very close to being done; maybe this weekend? Then it needs to get a little colder (never thought I would say that) so that I can wear it.

Here is the shawl I started about a month ago. Not much progress, though I am eager to get back to this, the pattern is so pretty.

I have also collected all the materials that I need to crochet a toy monkey for my sister who is expecting a baby in the new year. I really need to get cracking on this as these small crochet toys take a lot more time to make than you would think.

Now that we are settled into a new school year and a new routine, I am hoping to do more crafting on a more regular basis.

Just writing this list makes me feel a little better; that indeed there is creativity and making in my days and I am not just running here and there all the time.

Hope you are finding some time to be creative too.
