Hello, and welcome to another week! Today I'm showing off the zipper purse I managed to finish this weekend:

I made it Monday: cute owls tote bag

Hello, and welcome to another week! Things have been a bit hectic around here, with the kids at home full time. Not a lot of time left to craft but...I did manage to finish this cute owls tote bag. 

I Made it Monday: new gift tags and reusable kitchen towels

Hello, and welcome to another week! Things have been going a bit slow around here so even though I have a lot of projects going on, I only managed to finish two new sets of gift tags and some reusable kitchen towels. 

The first set of gift tags is holidays-themed and will the the subject of a Christmas in July post later (hopefully). The second set is more summer-ish, with some fun flamingos. 

I Made it Monday: tin can upcycles

Hello, and welcome to another week! This past weekend I was mostly focused on cleaning and decluttering. I worked on part of our kitchen cabinets, my sewing table and my daughter's room as well. Not a lot of crafting done, other than a few quick upcycles, mostly involving tin cans.

I love reusing tin cans for organization around the house. They are easy to clean and you can make them pretty in next to nothing. Here are two examples:

I made it Monday: plaid reusable face scrubbies & a new crochet bag

Hello, and welcome to another week! This weekend was mostly dedicated to decluttering. After three months of work and classes at home, there was a lot of stuff to go through. I still managed to finish two projects, though: plaid reusable face scrubbies, and a new crochet bag. 

I made it Monday: crochet face scrubbies and a new roses bag

Hello, and welcome to another week! I had a slow weekend, so not a lot of projects finished...

I made it Monday: two new tote bags

Hello, and welcome to another week! Although I have a lot of on-going projects (I always have more on-going projects at the same time that I can ever finish) but all I managed to complete this weekend were two tote bags.

Here they are:

I Made it Monday: a bunny purse, felt pouches and purple gift tags

Hello, and welcome to another week! This weekend the weather wasn't that great - not that we can go far anyway now - so it was perfect for crafting.

Here are the three projects I managed to complete in the past few days:

I Made it Monday: felt flowers, an ice-cream purse and cat shaped scrubbies

Hello, and welcome. I've been trying to find as much time to craft as I can, but it's not easy when you have to entertain kids, cook several meals a day from a limited supply of ingredients and still work full time from home...

But my inspiration seems to be back, so at least last weekend I was able to finish a few projects.

I made it Monday: space gift tags, flower coasters and a cactus bag

This weekend I finally managed to complete some of the projects I had ongoing for the past few weeks.

Here's what I was up to:

I Made it Monday: a new crochet bag

Nothing much to report this week. As I'm working from home on the same schedule as my usual day-job and the kids have resumed online classes after the Easter break, last week was pretty busy and I didn't have time to craft that much during the weekend either.

I did manage to finish the crochet bag I started a couple of weeks ago.

I Made it Monday - tackling the UFO pile

Staying at home during the long Easter weekend allowed me to finish several projects that lived in the unfinished objets pile for quite some time.

So here's what I finished this weekend:

I made it Monday - mostly crochet this time

Not many news from our side - which, given the current situation, is actually good. We are home, safe and healthy, and that's the best that we can hope for now. 

Although I have lot's of sewing projects started, I've been focusing mostly on crochet items lately. First because I find crochet very relaxing; and second because it means I can be more mobile while crafting. Instead of being stuck in my craft room in front of the sewing machine, I can sit in the living room or wherever my kids are and keep them company.

So here's what I finished this weekend:

I made it to Monday...healthy and safe...

...and taking into account all that is happening in the world right now, when you and your family are healthy and safely tucked at home, it's already a win. 

And as we have been lucky so far, I also had time for some crafting. Not as much as I would like, but in between working from home and the kids online classes, this is as much as I can fit in. 

So here’s a sneak peek of my crafting weekend:

I made it to Monday...once more

Hello, and welcome. It's Monday again and from our side we are off to start our second full week of quarantine. 

And I finally seem to have managed to overcome the shock of having to stay at home with no possibility to go out normally, and found the inspiration to craft a bit more.

Here’s a sneak peek at what I’ve been doing otherwise:

I made it to Monday...stuck at home

Hello, and welcome. It's Monday again and we are off to a new week. This will be our second week stuck at home (though last week we came home in stages - I was sent to work from home on Tuesday, my husband on Wednesday, and the kids ended school on Thursday afternoon).

Being at home means more time to craft - but it also means I need to keep the kids entertained and make sure we have everything we need in case we have to hibernate for a longer period of time.

On a side note, I closed my Etsy shop temporarily. We are all being advised to stay at home and only go out when it's absolutely necessary, so post office runs are out of the question, not to mention that some post offices are planning to close as well. I’m not sure I could ship orders even if I wanted to go to the post office. Which right now I don’t. Waiting for over one hour today to be able to enter the grocery store to get food for my family was enough already, thank you very much.
