Jack put up a bunch of shelves in my office/craft room today and now I can dig out a bunch of stuff and organize it properly. Most of my craft stuff has been shoved in a huge closet in the office on floor to ceiling shelves that are very deep which means I have two layers of baskets and boxes full of craft supplies.

Projects that are either in progress or that I'm about to start on:

1. a huge canvas cover up self portrait
2. an elongated canvas with a mixed media ode to Mother Mary
3. a custom Tarot card painting for a friend
4. a custom sugar skull for a friend
5. a custom secret for Julie (that is like, a month overdue!)
6. an illustrated children's book that I wrote and intend to publish
7. a trashcan made of rolled paper strips
8. a custom triptych that was commisioned by my Brother (due in June!)
9. another custom piece that was commissioned by my girlfriend, JENNIFUUURRRRRR!
10. a giant paper mache medusa head


In other words, I am covered up with projects in various stages of completion but I like it because I can work on different things if I get bored.

What are you all working on?!
Do you need more hours in the day?

Currently working on:-

Baby blankets for the Special Care Baby Unit (this is an ongoing project). The recent batch of blankets are hemmed and ready for hand Embroidering.

Three Sweaters to hand embroider; they have been sitting in my 'to do' pile since last Summer!

Four wall hangings each with different themes; Ummm....I started these sometie in 2009. They were 'put away' until I had time to do them. I got them out at the weekend in the hopes of doing them as 'inbetween' projects....not sure if that will ever happen, lol!

I have two bed blankets that I started to hand embroider around 2008....I need to focus on doing them at some point....

Two clocks to have the hands and mchanisms fitted.

I have a Blouse cut out ready for sewing (has been for....errr....ummm....).

I've got various clays sitting waiting to be used....

....HELP! LOL!
