Craft #16 - Dr Who clock for BBC show swap



Craft #17 - tiny turtle. He's been sitting in pieces in my crochet hook drawer forever, I finally made his legs and put him together. I don't think he looks so much like a turtle, but...



Comparison pic. I think the legs being the wrong color really make it look... wrong, but the bottom of the shell is purple, so... I think that needs to be changed, too. And it still looks more like a ladybug shape.



Craft #18 - Re-usable shopping bags for a friend.



Craft #19 - Yarn holder, so the cake of yarn doesn't get covered in dog hair. I made some out of 2-liter bottles (with zippers) for the skeins of yarn, but wanted something that better fit the center-pull cakes I wind.



Yaaaarn! cover:


open to show the yarn:


Crafts # 20&21 - ornament kits I've had forever



Craft #20 - Reindeer ornaments!



Craft #21 - Mouse ornaments! (I left off the holly because I really didn't think it looked good - I sewed everything together instead of just gluing (*patooey!*) it.



Craft #22 - A bit of a cheat, the cross-stitch has been done forever, but I'd never put a backing on it...



So I put a backing on both the hoop I made and the hoop I received in a craft swap - now I can hang them up!



Craft #23 - Modge-Podge box! I'd put most of this together ages ago, realized the the tassels hanging off the lid are ridiculous (it's very hard to close the box) and left it with the fabric all hanging off the bottom and untrimmed.

finishing off the bottom!:


I'm still two days behind, and with plans both tomorrow and Sunday, and what with wanting to finish the bathroom... I just don't have enough time!
