DawnM Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 UGH! It is the 9th. What are your craft plans for November? I have really fallen down on the job, just no time! But maybe over Thanksgiving weekend I can get some stuff done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachyDoodle Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Christmas decor. I bought a star made from tobacco sticks last year and hung it up on our fireplace, but it didn't show up well against the stone. I'm going to paint it a pearlescent white -- hopefully today. I bought spray paint yesterday but it's COLD out! I also want to make a new Christmas wreath. I know how I want it to look but I haven't had time to hit the craft store. Maybe next weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Not crafting but creative: I'm doing National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and also doing some craft-adjacent kid related stuff at church. These are taking up my creativity this month! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlktwins Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) ETA: sorry the picture is so big 😬 I’m hoping to finish this by the end of January. I’m also hoping to get a Christmas rag wreath or two done. I’ve had the supplies for 2 years LOL.

Mothersweets Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I have to finish two knitted Christmas stockings for my son and dil. I'm currently halfway through the triangle one Triangle and Reindeer Stockings. I also plan on knitting a Gramps Gramps Cardigan for my 14yo nephew. He asked me to knit one for him! I'm super excited about that. 🙂 I'm going to knit it in a solid color - no contrasting collar and button band. I love seeing everyone's crafts on these threads! @mlktwins your needlepoint is lovely! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I started work on ornaments for my music students yesterday. I got them painted, and just glued them. The end of term recital is Dec 7. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Florida Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I have started crocheting a mermaid tale blanket thing to give my daughter for Christmas. I'm using bulky yarn, which should help me get through it in a reasonable amount of time. I purchased (!) and downloaded patterns to crochet Lady and the Tramp ornaments for my daughter and her partner. They are moving in together (this week) and will have their first Christmas tree this year. So far, I've gotten as far as scrounging through my yarn stash to find supplies. So, we'll see how that goes. For my husband, I've started crocheting the first of what I hope will be two or three figures from this book. I'd like to finish at least Frankenstein's monster and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. If I complete those, I may add Quasimodo. I also ordered a couple of Muppet appliques to put on polo shirts for my husband. I made him three of these shirts several years ago. He wears them frequently and is always delighted when people compliment him on them. While I was poking around searching for the appliques, I stumbled across some Muppet-themed fabric and ordered enough to sew him a pair of pajama pants. So, I'm feeling pretty good about handmade holiday stuff for my daughter and husband. Now I just need ideas (and time/energy to execute them) for my daughter's partner, my son and his girlfriend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I'm working on things for my upcoming piano/Orff ensemble recital. I've done ornaments for the kids and t-shirts for the orff group (They're doing a set of selections from the Nightmare before Christmas). I also got travel cups done for my parents, brother, and SIL, because any presents I get done before Thanksgiving don't have to be mailed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I recently finished a couple more baby quilts for my stack and I have started knitting some Christmas ornaments. I need to finish putting the ornaments together before I can post any. I having some gift quilts in progress. This one I have nicknamed “The Girls” and they crack me up. Happy to say all the red made it through a wash cycle just fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Since many here crochet ( or want to learn to crochet ) I thought I would post this fun “Gnome of the Gnorth” pattern. I plan to make some.....or talk Dd into it since she likes to crochet! 😉 https://mrsmicawber.blogspot.com/2019/11/gnomes-of-gnorth-free-crochet-pattern.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
