The "Things To Make List"

Do you have a "things to make list".  No, I'm not talking about the normal non-fun lists like wash the walls and go grocery shopping.  Hmmm, funny how wash the walls just keeps going on the next list without ever being done....

Anyway, I'm talking about the list of fun things that you'd like to make or do someday.  It could be crafty things, or things like learn to knit, learn to refinish furniture etc. Well I've been collecting some ideas lately. Here are some of the things I'd like to do someday.

Cloth Napkins: I've been thinking for years I want to make my own cloth napkins in fun colors and patterns.  Ta-da! As soon as I get a new sewing machine these are on the list!  How fun are they?  The picture and directions are from the Kirtsy site.

Reusable Bags: Ok, I admit, I like to watch the Martha Steward show while I eat lunch.  They had a whole bags show.  I have a lot of reusable bags, more than I use!  But, this is a great cute idea. I like the idea of using the laminated cotton and I think I'm going to look for some other ideas for making this type of bag, bigger, sturdier and with handles.  The laminated fabric would be perfect for grocery shopping, so you can just wipe off spills.  This picture is from the Martha Steward site, linked above.



Cute Fabric:  I'm not a quilter, but I do intend to buy some fabric here at Quilt Home.  There is just so much cute fabric that will be perfect for my napkins and bags.

Knit Socks: You already know that knitting socks is on my list. It's been raised up as I enjoy wearing the socks given to me by my friend Ellen. This posting on Knitters Review makes it look doable!



Knitting Bags: There are lots of great books on knitting different types of purses and bags.  I've had this book for a long time looking at me from the shelf.

Well those are just a few things on my list.  In between taking care of my plants, cooking, gardening, and staying active outside, hopefully some day I'll allow myself enough time to sit still and knit or play on the sewing machine.  What's on your fun to-make list?
