I have started this new thread to replace the old one which was just too full.
Here is something I'm working on.

I also made one for my baby. When we were picking the fabrics out at the store he found a cow print that he just loved. He carried the whole roll around with him lol. So I couldn't resist and had to make him one. He is using it for nap time right now. I will have to get a picture soon.
Linda, those sound neat! I can't wait to see how they turn out!

I am making the shilly shallies 40-42" square, double-turn the edges to hem, and use as a tablecloth for a small table.

The meaning of Shilly-Shally is to be indecisive and vacilitating. This is kind of like Willy Nilly or Dilly Dally.
However, in Mary Jane's Idea Book on page 318 she talked about her idea of a shilly shally. Here's a picture from the book:
I hope you can expand to read it on your phone or computer.

I have been making some simple Christmas presents - Christmas Shilly Shallies. Do any of you remember the Shilly Shally swaps we had on MJF a number of years ago?

I gave my eyes a break from cross stitch to cut and tie this blanket for a family friends kid. I still need to make one for his sister. I can't wait to give it to him for Christmas!

I was looking forward to my guild's annual retreat last weekend but due to a sick cat and a vet that doesn't have overnite facilities I had to cancel so I'm now having to do everything I was going to do at the retreat. I'm happy to report that Fuzzy is now ok and none of the sewing is done.

I love the variety of projects! Krista, the gradient on your cross stitch is lovely. Marie and Heather I love your Halloween crafts! So cute!
I am so far behind on my projects, especially Christmas presents. I’m trying to finish up scarves requested by my brothers kids. Not sure I’m going to get much more knitting done than that. Have a pile of embroidery and sewing projects to get to as well but work and kids have been very chaotic lately. I managed to get away to attend my first beekeeping conference but that’s about it! Hoping to have some crafting time over the holiday break!

I am still busy working on my cross stitch, but I am only down to one color left. Now the rest should go very quickly. I also made a cute crochet Christmas item for a swap. I cant wait to send it!
