Good Bye 2017, Hello 2018

I always think it is good to summarize what I managed to accomplish over the past year in my world of Arts and Socks. So, here goes:

Sewing

I created a pattern for a tote bag, and taught it in a class at my quilt group. 

I also made 

4 Tote Bags

8 Other Bags or Purses

2 Tablet Cases

2 Pairs of Shorts

4 Bibs

Christmas Tree Skirt (finally off my to finish list)

Preaching Stole

Wall Hnaging

Christmas Bibs For My Baby

Knitting

4 Pairs of Baby Socks

4 Assorted Baby Hats

2 Pairs of Fingerless Mitts

1 Adult Hat

1 Scarf

Adult Hat

Works in Progress

2 Pairs of Socks

1 Pair of Mitts

2 Shawls

The Works in Progress are the ones I actually have immediate plans to finish. There are probably more that will find there way here in the next while.

Going forward, I am continuing to try not letting a day go by without some crafting. My knitting continues to travel with me, to meetings and appointments. Since most of my sewing is done by machine, I can't travel with it quite so well. 

I plan to make more bags, finish at least one quilt, and knit lots. I will continue to use my stash as much as possible. I will also keep learning new things.
