Monday Craft Update

Ahhh! computer glitch, I accidentally erased my entire post when I selected it to format it.

Pretty good week, I started tracking my hours after I read Paulina's blog. That is turning out to be pretty interesting.

Cross-stitch
Made good progress on the snowman family. I only work on it during the weekday, as at night the light isn't good enough. So therefore, I need to try and finish it up in the next 6 weeks. That will be pretty tight, but I'll try. I'll take a picture next week, though it won't look like anything, as I'm stitching in the middle of the picture, but you can then see the colours.

I'm pretty happy with it so far, and I love the look of the stitches on the linen. I just hope they will stand out enough. I'm also getting the hang of counting on linen.

Knitting
I finished 8 sides of the knit blocks, so I only have 5 more to go. Provided we don't go away this week, I should finish the knitting. I knit them 2 at a time in different colours. Mom suggested that to me last time I made the blocks. Of course, you don't go any faster, but you feel like you.

I also did some on the knit blanket, maybe about an inch.

I have started another baby ball. I did 1/12 of the knitting (i.e. one stripe) in the car. I need to have it finished by next Sunday for a baby shower, but I'm not too worried.

Crochet
No projects on the go.

Photography / Videography
I've been reading a new book "Digital Video Handbook" as I want to get more into the video making. I've been taking videos and have been thinking of video ideas. I think I'll do a tour of our house so that you can see what it is like. There are some interesting little oddities.

Of course, I'm doing tons of taping of the kids, but I can't figure out how to make that interesting to watch yet. Not everyone is fascinated watching Oliver play with his trains.
