I am a craft-project-aholic. I have tried many, many different crafts over the years and don't seem to keep up with most of them. Here are some I have done: stamping, scrapbooking, sewing, counted cross stitch, crewel embroidery, regular embroidery, crocheting, knitting, painting, and more that I have forgotten about. These days, I try to keep up with my sewing, crocheting, and counted cross stitch, and that's all. Despite the fact that these are crafts I actually enjoy doing, a lot, I don't spend enough time to complete projects I have begun. And I am hoping to change that by trying to work on SOMETHING for a minimum of 15 minutes every day. Believe me, once I get started, I will not stop after 15 minutes, so projects WILL get completed. Last night, I started and completed one of the projects I have been talking about for the last couple of months.
I buy T-shirts. I try to get a T-shirt to commemorate everything I want to remember. Last year in Florida, I bought a dozen shirts--one from every activity/town we saw. I will never wear all of the shirts, so I decided to do something with them. After looking around for ideas, I rejected several ideas, including a 'memory quilt.' This got me to thinking and I decided to do a 'memory scarf' instead. I also decided that I wanted a Red Wing scarf before a Florida one, so I took my T-shirts from the 2008-2009 Cup winning season and made the scarf. And here is the result:
I think it came out okay.
