Gobnait Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I'm intimidated by the forum change, so this challenge is all about just coming here every day, trying to follow threads, and posting in my own thread. 6 Quote I have conditions that affect my social awareness.

Gobnait Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Let's see... today I found a source for quilt panels and bought two. I finished a cross-stitch project that I hated because of the fabric I was using. I spent too much at the grocery store and then had hubby order a pizza. If I'm lucky, I'll get the kitchen somewhat clean before bed. 2 Quote I have conditions that affect my social awareness.

ironmeg Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Woo! a fellow crafter It's nice that you were able to complete the cross stitch even though you weren't fond of the fabric. I always find it hard to finish projects I don't like, but I'm always pleased when I do. 1 Quote Link to comment
Gobnait Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Let's see, today I rifled through some old clothing that I was planning to recycle, got a bulky couch cover and a bad coat queued to go to the Salvation Army. Then I went through my patterns and fabric to choose something to make for a wedding I'm attending in a few months. I still need to buy the accent fabric, but I have the main stuff available. I had hubby load the dishwasher once because I was sick of cleaning the kitchen, I emptied and filled the dishwasher again afterwards and the kitchen is clean. Tomorrow's to-do list... maybe oil and clean my machine because I've never used this one yet. Maybe make cookies or use my new angelfood pan to justify buying it. Maybe I should learn to embroider so I can spiffy up my dress after making it. 2 Quote I have conditions that affect my social awareness.

Gobnait Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I washed the fabric I'm going to make at least the skirt out of, the top will be brown if I don't have enough for that part. I fluffed the fridge and went on a cooking strike because of too many leftovers. I oiled my sewing machine, but didn't plug it in to play with it... it came with the name "Betsy." I'm going to plan a trip to Joannes because I shouldn't have to pay that much for the tea-dyed muslin I found at Walmart. I futzed around and did nothing for most of the day. 2 Quote I have conditions that affect my social awareness.

Gobnait Posted May 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 I futzed around most of the day, washed laundry and maybe I'll mess with sorting it. I did stare at a sewing project. I want to do view D but I can't figure out how to make it fit right, so I'm going to try view C. Simplicity 2852 for an image search. The bodice on view D fits, but the yolk I need to scale into a different size and make it fit together. View C, I can hopefully use the gathers to make it work. 3 Quote I have conditions that affect my social awareness.

Dawnwings Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Sounds like you're doing well at coming here, so well done! And chookas (good luck) on the sewing project! I hope Betsy is helpful Quote Link to comment
Gobnait Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yesterday, I bought new fabric. I didn't find two that went together well, so it's either all going to be the print, or part of the shirt will be white. Quote I have conditions that affect my social awareness.

Gobnait Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I don't know what I did yesterday... cut out a project and didn't get it sewn together. Today, I ran errands and I'm worn out.

Gobnait Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Today, I bought a $5 diorama puzzle made of foam core and put it together. I poked at housework. I worked a little on a cross-stitch. Earlier this week, I gathered my sewing supplies into a smaller mess. Quote I have conditions that affect my social awareness.

Gobnait Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I keep forgetting to check in. Sewing is stalled. Today I got really frustrated even though I got some sweeping done. I want to replace the table in my living room. I spent too much at thrift stores on junk. 1 Quote I have conditions that affect my social awareness.

I understand that completely I do the same thing. I love picking up stuff and refinishing them though, makes for a great project! Why is sewing stalled? I bet you'll look great at that wedding Quote Link to comment

I bet you'll look great at that wedding I just got frustrated and overwhelmed by the mess in my sewing area and how much energy it was taking. I got a quilt kit sandwiched, which should be a good "sit down mindless" type of task. 1 Quote I have conditions that affect my social awareness.

Kiki Dee Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'd love to see pictures of some of your projects!!! I like to play with my sewing machine when I find time but I'm not terribly good. 1 Quote My ramblings in my first Battle Log First Challenge - May 2016, Second Challenge (incomplete) - June 2016, Third (Utterly Abandoned) Challenge - December 2016 My New and Improved Battle Log Current Challenge Link to comment
Gobnait Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I keep forgetting to check in. The failed skirt was fine once I remembered it had six panels instead of four. I bought mini perler beads and should have gotten sorted beads. Quote I have conditions that affect my social awareness.
