Another Wednesday is upon us and it's time to show the progress I am making on my handcrafts this week. Posting my progress every week has really helped me stay on task. Even if I am the only one it motivates - it is helping me to get these projects finished - and that is all that matters - right? 
I am up to the "F" and "G" Blocks now as you can see. If I keep going, I should be able to have this alphabet book done by my granddaughter's birthday. I have other things that I want to make her as well - so time is of the essence!
I have also been adding to the baby blanket when I need a break from all of those tiny stitches. I have come a long way on the blanket and am now completing the edging - there is an end in sight! I'm not making this blanket for anyone in particular - just finishing a project that has been sitting around unfinished. Of course - if there should be an occasion in the near future for this blanket to be used (hint, hint - to my daughters out there!) it will be ready and waiting. Not that I am being pushy or anything! ~smile~
It has been fun to see how much I have been able to accomplish - just by picking up my sewing when I have a spare moment here and there. All of the moments that I have taken advantage of have really paid off. When I sit and watch televison in the evenings and when my babies that I "nanny" for are napping, I can get quite a bit done.

Just a few more finishing touches needed for each piece. I need to add buttons to this charming gingerbread man and maybe a ribbon bowtie. Some french knots all around each block and they will be done! A few precious moments relaxing in front of the television - will turn into a fun finished creation!
Check out this inspiring gal! She really motivates me because she is SO productive with her time. She is extremely talented with a needle and thread. Whenever I need a burst of fresh inspiration I visit her and my creative juices flow with new ideas!
What unfinished projects are you working on this week?
Blessings for a creative week ahead!

XO,

Hello ms Kymber...ah my goodness the needle and thread are flying at your house!...
I have little doubt that you will not make it for that birthday gal!
What a lucky little cutie pie she is...! She is going to love it!
What a beautiful quilt this is shaping up to be. I used to do a lot of crafty type things but that was BB (before blogging) In fact, it was BC (before computers). Now I do all my creating on the computer from making scrap books to DVDs and now blogging. I think I'm hooked.

Is that a little of the blanket visible in the first picture with the darling letters?
When I endeavor to have any influence on a given situation, I choose to think of myself as encouraging instead of "pushy". After all that is what Mothers are for, to offer encouragement. Right?
I love your alphabet book! What a treasure! And the blanket is beautiful!...Debbie
Girl the book is looking real good..love the ginger bread boy...thanks for sharing hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
These blocks are so so cute! I LOVE to stitch but have never tried anything like this....do you use a pattern? It will be beautiful when they are all put together.
I saw your blue and white below. I too love anything blue and white.
Thank you for the sweet comment you left me the other day. I feel so honored to receive a "Georgia Friends" award...thank you!
Hi Glenda,
Yes, that is my blanket in the picture that I am working on. It is getting to the exciting part as I am almost finished. I am very slow at crocheting and this blanket has taken forever to complete. It helps though that I have been persistent with it - there is a definite end in sight!
I, too - like to "encourage" but it seems that encouragement only makes them dig their heels in all the more. :) you would think that with seven children I would have more than one grandchild by now. I guess I should be happy - I am hardpressed to find time to do all of the things that I want to for THIS sweet little girl!
Oh, to have more hours in the day!
Have a great day today!
Kymber
