what projects are you working on this long Memorial weekend?

I too love to crochet. I am just finishing up bed spread for my three grown kids lol. I am curious what are diaper cakes? I have never heard that term before. I would be most happy if you would fill me in thanks. Happy chocheting lol

I just finally got our living room almost entirely settled after our move across the country, and I FINALLY have a dedicated crafting area! :) So I've started working on some crocheted headbands, which I will eventually be tie dyeing and then hopefully selling! I have a lot of UFOs in my brand new crafting area, and I'm hoping to work through those slowly but surely. :)

I am working on several projects. I just finished a baby poncho with matching hat. I am working on a sweater on the loom, crocheting a sweater, and an afghan on another loom.

I'm actually goin to be doing some pagan crafts tonight and tomorrow...and I'll be doing some painting (on canvas), starting my memory books AND painting a cute birdhouse that I have that I want to put up in one of the trees out front...

This weekend I was up in NH with some friends. We made "tin can lanterns". To do this you need a regular canned food can....like a soup can, a hammer, and awl, sharpie marker and some spray paint. Take an empty tin can and drawer out the design you want to make on your can. You will be putting holes in the can withthe awl, so make your design connect the dots style. Then, fillthe can with water and put in the freezer. Let it freeze completely. This will make it so much easier to poke your holes. When frozen use the awl and the hammer to poke the holes of your design on the can. Lay the can on a dishcloth to keep it from slipping. When you design is done, you can spraypaint the can or not. These lanterns are great for nightimes use. Just put a votive candle in them. I especially like using citronella candles for night time cookouts.

I just finished making a camera cozy. Black with blue hearts and blue lining =). I usually try to restrict myself to small projects that I know I can finish in a designated amount of time. Otherwise, I'll just end up with what Stephanie Pearl-McPhee describes as startitis... and I'll have raw materials up the wazoo everywhere around me! Not like I don't already have a problem with stray materials sprawled all over the floor in plastic bags =P. Mmmmm... I will definitely need to have a designated craft corner when I have my own place... one of these days. =)
