So, what are you all up to?

We need some excitement in here :P

I'm finishing up two bags (have been for a month now @@)
Hemming pants for a co worker
Finishing a dress for Olivia

I'm running at a snail's pace when it comes to sewing/crafting because we are getting ready for school...but, I'm trying real hard to think up some great board activities and fun stuff to do.

I do have a swap idea though :P I think I'll go post it ROFL

I am sewing strips together to crochet a rug, I think I am getting in over my head, lol.
but mostly I have been in a yarn mood for awhile, knitting a scarf for dh, a sweater for ds and crocheting a throw for my mom (been working on it over a year)

it would help so much if I could do one thing at a time, lol

I'm making a purse for each of my nieces and a skirt for my dd.

I need to make 3 khaki twill skirts to wear to a casual beach wedding (my fil & his fiancee are getting married and want all us kids/grandkids to wear white tops and khaki skirts/shorts)

still trying to find the perfect 100% wool & 100% linen fabrics for our fall 5th Century garb. I found some yesterday that might work for SO's hood but is too thick for my tunics. I hate buying online too which isn't helping. Oh & I don't want to spend a small fortune.

*sigh* no new sewing till I get fabric either

I didn't do any sewing for almost a whole 2 weeks. Going to get back into it this weekend I hope - I want to start Liba's quilt top, and if there's time I'll get binding and bind my youngest DS's Harry Potter-like quilt, and continue working on my other DS's denim-and-flannel-rag quilt. Plus I just got some lovely squares for the farmer's market quilt which I need to at least start thinking about.

I'm getting ready to work on stuff for the newest Expecting Swap. I have a few ideas, but nothing even cut out yet.
