Slowly getting back into the swing

We finished doing the camper to hunting blind renovation just over a week ago.  It was an almost four month full time project and with that and the usual household chores I didn't get much crafting done.

For the first week afterwards I was sort of numb!  I didn't do much at all, I was quite physically and emotionally drained.

This week however I am eager to get going again.

I have started on my daughter's Christmas stocking.  She made a request for a large bright pink one covered in bling a couple of years ago and this year I decided to get on and make one.  She is 45 lol but she has really never asked me to make her anything before so I am more than happy to do it.  I found a free pattern on Craftsy and downloaded it and bought some hot pink fleece and some white for the cuff.  I have a carton of bling I can dig through to sew on the outside and bought some bling on a roll to put around the cuff.  I also bought some little sparkly ornaments which I will add if needed.  I had some hot pink dotty fabric for the lining so pink she asked for and pink she will get!

I did also make another couple of felt Christmas tree ornaments last week, something I can do in the evenings when sitting down.

So in the words of Arnie......I'm back!  Although I really never went away just got so invested in the renovation thing and we were under pressure to get it done ready for hunting season this year.
