Filling the gap

After more than a month of no craft related activity, I am trying to pick up on my craft goals for the year. I have to finish 52 craft projects in 2016 and I want to complete at least this goal for the year. About other goals for this year, I don’t remember if I did think of any personal goal as I was struggling with health issues..
Coming back to the topic… here is a teaser of my work right now

Along with

this I am finishing some knitting which I’ll show once done.

Failed Projects

I had not been feeling like crafting for the last three months. I did some projects but nothing big, mending or alteration was what mainly happened for me. So not much to share but two mega failed projects

A pair of slippers and a headband for a little princess, sadly the slippers didn’t fit her (although I did make it for a year old size). I still have to make another pair for her and it’s been a month. I know I am being lazy but it looks like I am slowly getting my mojo back and soon I’ll update on this project.

A lace shrug made on request for Bhabhi. Sadly after washing I realised that the underarms are not going to fit her and so again I have to start a new one. I am still not sure about what to do with it.

New covers for my dining chairs

The last time I went to RCPuram I bought fabric to stich new dining chair covers. And it was two years back. I didn’t get the push to start stitching untill last month. Yes I stitched the covers last month and blogging now.. I know I am being too lazy. But finally here they are

I had an idea of having open covers with ties on sides inspired by pinterest but changed the idea and finally ended up with the one side zipper closing. We need things safe and secured when have kids who act more like monkeys than human.
I am super happy with the outcome and the fact that even dh loved them 🙂
