My first three days of March Madness brought three projects I haven't seen in a while! I usually draw my slip in the morning so I can daydream about the project during work. ;) On March 1st, I tiptoed up to the bowl, eagerly wondering what stitching...or knitting?...project I would draw.
Well. I drew neither!
That's right, on the very first day of March Madness, I drew out my one-and-only crochet WIP!
On with the madness!
On the second I drew "Snow Catchers," by Fanci That. I should have more to show, but I decided that I didn't like the Oatmeal I was using for the snowmen...it looked too "dirty" so I ripped what I'd done and substituted white.
Saturday brought a very old class project, which I'm pretty sure I have not touched since the class! The technique is a double herringbone hem. In class we had mitered one corner of the cloth and started the decorative hemstitching. I managed to finish withdrawing and reweaving all the rest of the threads (16 of them!) and mitering the remaining three corners. Then I put in a few hemstitches for good measure. I still need to sew the corners, but I was too lazy to get up and get matching sewing thread. ;)
What will this week bring??

I like this version of March Madness much better than basketbal :) I am greatly anticipating having a craft room (or glorified closet), where I can stash all my unfinished projects someday!
You know March Madness is a stretch for me but I did start a new project today - it's a small but something different nonetheless.
I hope Chocolate is in your March Madness WIP pile! I love the first three days projects.
Oh my, that is one cute snowman project! I don't really like dirty snow people either.
Your class project looks very nice. I'm sure I would have completely forgotten what I was supposed to do next on it!
I am enjoying seeing all the different projects and different types of projects that you are spending some time with :)
Love your snowman.
Gosh Heather - keeping up with all those projects would make "madness" for me. YGG - have fun and I'll enjoy watching what you pull out of the WIP stash. Have a good week - Mel
Pretty nice selection for the first days of the month, I'm curious what will come up next! The snowman is a cutie, and the learninh/class project are lookin great too. I tries several times to learn how to crochet, but it was a grand fail XD
Well, you were a busy March hare!! Nice change on the snowman color, that's for sure. :D
Love the projects you've picked for the first days of March. Cute snowman start. Can't wait to see what you got up your sleeves next.
Hugs,
Veronica.
