Since I have been absent for so long, I thought it would be fun to show you some of the things that have recently occupied my free time!

Tutu decorating:

Student wearing the final tutu:

And all that hand sewing was keeping me from the project I ACTUALLY wanted to be working on, :hmph: my kaleidoscope string quilt:

22965


The 6 squares I completed today, after not getting to work on it for at least a month due to tutu sewing:

22966


I now have 38 completed blocks! I'm so happy! (Only like 130 more to go....) What fun projects are you all working on currently?! :rolleyespony:

Oooooo the tutu is so pretty. I also applaude your patience to make a quilt. Lol!!

Here’s some of the things I sew.
Apple Watch bands:
2297022972

Pet bandanas:
229742297322971

I also sew reusable menstrual pads but wasn’t sure if I should post those here or not. :blush:

Then of course I draw, paint, colour, re-root ponies and am planning on diving into custom ponies too soon.
 
Man those corseted tutus look amazing :ponylove:

I'm just doing the boring usual custom ponies, just finished a Kingdom Hearts Aqua to post for sale tomorrow
Gotta mail out a My Hero Academia custom pony tomorrow too
 
What fantastic work you do, CJ! You were always handy with da sewing though! Action Hank and I both always hang the Pony ornaments you made us up on our Christmas tree. They make us smile big time!

I'm working on jewelry right now. I'll have to take some piccies. Right now I'm mainly sorting beads and wanting more. Because I am a bead Hoarder.
 
I love your dress its so pretty

Thanks! Tutus are a labor of love... with a little cursing thrown in. :unsure:

Ajsksksks that tutu is amazing

How cool! What do you use for the watch bands? Just cottons, or other fabrics as well? What kind of closure do you use?

I look forward to seeing your latest custom!

Ha! I actually whipped up a pair of pony ornaments right before Christmas to send to my bestfriend in her gift box. I was thinking of the ones I'd made as prizes and such on the TP, however many years ago that was...

What kind of jewelry do you have planned, Foofoo? Or are you really just sorting and hoarding with no plans to actually create...? :winkpony:
 
Beautiful work! I have such a list of crafts to do but I haven't worked on anything is so long. I just can't find the time and know if I'm going to actually make any progress I need to make it more of a priority and schedule myself time to do these things! I have a quilt project, a crochet project, a painting, some cross stitch and a few scrapbooks all in various states of "start" LOL I still haven't finished my wedding scrapbook and my 15 year anniversary is this year! I tease that I'll be divorced before it's completed :lolpony:

I'm mainly making bracelets and earrings, mainly Bohemian type stuff. I'll try to get some pics up. I'm not getting anything done fast though, my cats are determined to 'help me'.

So there's a lotta cursing with my toils as well! :D

Editing to add piccies...

Wow, all this stuff looks amazing :)

I'm learning how to make plush bunnies and giraffes from my mom. We haven't had much time to work on it the past few months, but hopefully we can get back on it fairly soon. Here's a few things we've made.
