WIP Wednesday, vol 13

Well kids, this is likely going to be a pretty boring WIP Wednesday from me. 
It seems that I can either have a (relatively) clean house, clean clothes, and well-fed family OR I can get some sewing done. We've eaten well this week and our dresser drawers are full, so it's safe to say not much has happened in the old sewing room!

Finishes:

My Dead Simple quilt is complete! For more details, check out Monday's post.

Hold the phone! What is this? A second finish??

Stellar photography aside, I crocheted an ear-warmer kind of thing the other day while riding around running errands with my husband and kids. Very simple pattern, yet I'm quite sure this will get more use than that larger cowl I made last month. 

In Progress:

I've been doing a little work on my Pay-it-Forward gifts, but have nothing I can show, since I would like them to be a surprise. Exciting, huh?

Frame purse....I have a pattern now, but that's about as far as I've gotten on this one, too.

No Progress:

My Christmas Tree Pants are still un-quilted, sitting in the same spot they were this time last week. I'm hoping to get to work on them Thursday, as Roger has the day off work and I may be able to get a little child-free time.

And there you have it....


Be sure to visit Freshly Pieced to see what other people have been working on this week, and
congratulations to Lee on 52 weeks of WIP Wednesdays!!

    Your fantastic DS quilt makes up for whatever else you haven't gotten done! I agree with Pat, though - very fun!

    I love the colors in your dead simple quilt and in your Christmas tree pants, they're fun! I love the ear warmers too, I keep saying I need to take up knitting or crocheting so I can make things like that. I could use one of those for when I go running!

    My relationship with my vacuum fell apart when I started blogging. Funny, I don't miss him. Lovely quilts.

    I love the ear warmer! I usually bring something in the car to do if I'm going to be a passenger and we are going a bit of a distance.

    I know the feeling... I always opt for the quilting and hope the kids can clean themselves ;)Nah, seriously I admire you for getting so much done with kids around. I really wanted to start quilting when they were younger but gave up since It seemed I could never finish anything. Now at age 8 and 10 it's a total different ballgame.

    Love your dead simple quilt...

    I'm glad you clarified what that 2nd finish was, it looked rather odd from that angle! ;o)

    I love those crocheted ear warmers...and they really work too!
    I should have thought about getting a few made up for my etsy store. So many things to make and just not near enough time to get them all done.

    I so agree about a clean house, or progress on sewing. That's exactly how things run in my house. It usually swings dramatically back and forth!
