I feel like this week went by so fast! I'm not complaining one bit because it was definitely a busy week filled with lots of reading and William Faulkner induced headaches. Oh, the pains of an English major. I spent most of the week running around town for my internship and finishing homework for my other classes. I'm definitely looking forward to a very crafty weekend. Here are my plans...
1. Ever since I posted about this intarsia sweater patch tutorial I've been dying to try it! This grey sweater is probably the least crazy in my collection....for now....
2. I really want to bake the blueberry galettes I posted about earlier this week too. They just look so scrumptious! I find all of these delicious recipes but rarely give them a try. That should change, right?
3. I write some letters and need to catch up with my pen pals.
4. I participated in Elycia and Chantilly's first craft night on Tuesday evening. It was a lot of fun! They did a live, streaming video together on how to sew a camera plush. However...I'm slow. Seriously slow. It took me ten minutes to get the needle threaded. When I looked up from my battle with the sewing needle, feeling all proud and triumphant, I discovered they had already finished over half of the camera. So....I'll be finishing that up this weekend. At my slow, beginner's pace.
Thanks so much for all of the sweet comments about my crochet valentines! If you decide to make a few for your loved ones, would you mind sending a picture my way? I would love to do a valentine's post with all of your creations!
Also, for some reason the reply button in the comments section isn't working. I try to click on it but nothing happens! I hope to get this fixed soon so I can start replying to your wonderful comments. :)
What are your plans for the weekend? Are you working on any fun craft projects too?
The sweater tutorial looks really cool! I'm excited to see how yours turns out. Perhaps I'll try it too..
ReplyDeleteseems like a prefect weekend, i love your blog so much!

Fun! I'm trying my hand at risotto tonight, then school work (and lots of it). Will intersperse working on my very first crochet afghan! xo
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to your Weekend Plans! The photos are always so inspiring. :)
ReplyDeleteCourtney - I'm excited too! You should definitely give it a try.
ReplyDeleteGeorgia - Thank you so much!!
M.G.T - I've never made risotto, but always wanted to. It's just so delicious! I feel your pain on the school work. Crochet breaks are always necessary. :)
Lesley - Thank you!! :)
That camera looks cute!! I've been wanting to make something like that to sell in my shop. I'm not a sewer yet though. Still getting the hang of crocheting more then just fingerless gloves :/ lol Don't worry about being slow. If you try to go too fast things tend to get mangled.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to find someone else who still writes letters! I've been very bad the last couple years and neglected the couple people I've been writing to for years. Pen Pals are so much fun! Also I love that little case with the Queen on it!
As for my weekend...hoping to go to a Home Reno show, even though we don't have a house to reno yet. And work on my websites hopefully...but more then likely it will be wasting time on line while I watch tv lol
Ah! I too am an English major and my eyes are about to fall out of my face. Instead of Faulkner induced headaches I'm having gustave Flaubert ones :) so glad it's the weekend!!!

Sounds like after a very busy week you have a fairly busy weekend planned. But the crafty kind of busy is so much more fun! Enjoy! And very cute camera.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a most wonderful weekend in the making! I can't wait to see your sweater finished.
ReplyDeletePS. I adore Jane Austen :)

Oh, I hope you share photos of your finished sweater patches! I just know it's going to be adorable!
ReplyDeleteThis weekend, I plan to do a bit of browsing for postcards and photos in antique store, watch a few lovely movies, crochet, and hopefully try your crochet Valentine tutorial! I'll be sure to share photos if I do!
Have a lovely weekend, Meredith!

Hello! I've recently come across your blog and love it! Sounds like you've got a perfect weekend planned. Can't wait to see the finished sweater! In fact, seeing your lovely sweater has inspired me to wear my first knitted sweater or jumper as we say over the pond :-) - it has little owls with buttons for eyes all around the top. It's rather twee, which I love. Ooh and reading about cooking new recipes has made me hungry - I'm trying to do one new recipe a week, so that I make use of the, now lets see, 15 recipe books I own. Gulp, 15, I never knew it was that much! Right signing off now before this comment turns into an essay!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend! :-) x
the plush camera is super cute! there need to be more craft night streams :D
ReplyDeleteI'm more excited for your weekend than I am for mine!
ReplyDeleteI BAKED THE BLUEBERRY GALETTES! I did however, split the filling recipe in halves, i used blueberries in half the galettes and raspberries in the other half! They were a total hit, the raspberry galettes being my personal favorite! I also, took it upon myself to turn the extra raspberry juice/lemon juice into a glaze that i brushed on the galettes when they were fresh out of the oven!
ReplyDeleteOh Faulkner! I had to read at university, too, and my God I could not read more than 2 pages without my mind turning itself off.
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog and it's absolutely gorgeous! So inspiring and lovely :-) This year I hope to relearn how to knit, it's a bit daunting but terribly exciting :-)
Cheerio!
i definitely think i'm planning a few crochet edged valentines & i will certainly send a picture your way!
ReplyDeletealso, i'm dying to try that tutorial on all of my sweaters. it looks like so much fun & not too hard at all.
One orange thread...I love the way it looks on grey.
