Kawandi #5 finish and ready to start another one

 It has been a long time since I wrote a blog post!  

I will link this with Slow Sunday Stitching.

Today I finished #5 Kawandi and it is placemat size.


THis is only the center part of the photo and it changed to this close mode!  OH my it took me forever to figure out how to get a photo here.  I have forgotten so much!  I will send another photo in another post.

Here is a photo of some fabrics I am using in the next Kawandi plus some of my other fabrics.  OH YES....I will be starting another one as I love doing the slow perfectly imperfect stitching!


And that photo was a lot easier to post and it actually has the whole photo I took.

I will be catching up with this year in later posts.

Kawandi quilts and 2022 word and 30 day challenge

 

Happy New Year 2022!  

I finished my Kawandi runner the end of December.  I have blogged about it with photos before and I didn't get a photo when I finished.  I do have a photo that was taken at a friend's house on her design wall  when it was almost done.


And I have started another Kawandi and it is smaller.  Here is a photo


My word/words for this year......schedule plan organize.....

I want to have more of a schedule to my days to get more done.  The days we have plans are the days I accomplish more!  I have a lot of  creative things I like to do and a lot of supplies.  To organize....I have been entering my supplies and where they are in a WORD document.  AND also listing my ongling projects I want to complete....my UFQs,,,,,,unfinished quilts.  Last year I started watching videos on paper crafting and want to do more with journals.  I have a lot of online classes and want to do more painting and lettering.........the list goes on and on!!!

NOW.....TODAY.... I started a 30 day challenge.  30 days create before my birthday. (#30dayscreateb482)  I posted day 1 in my FB group creative happenings workshop.

The photo from today....making stickers with 6" adhesive roll.  I put the back of a magazine image on the sticky side and punch out a shape.  The 2" punch doesn't punch all around the circle and I have to use a scissors to finish the cut.  But a 1" punch works just fine.  I plan to make a bunch of stickers and have them ready to peel off the brown back and put in my journals.



Doing a challenge and posting about it is a great motivator to get going and make some stuff!!!

Anyone want to join in or want to join my FB group....it is private...so answer the questions and I will add you to our group.  

AND here is my creative journal page for January 1st that I posted to the Decorative Journaling FB group.



Smiles and hugs....Caryl
