Dawn yes the buffet caddy and the napkin rings are what I worked on at the UFO party.the had to be the first things because I needed then for the party!

Wish I could just edit my fist post but it wont let me for some reason!

I can do that for you! Great finishes!

Not even close to what I was hoping to get finished by now,but Feb was a bust and now I have this cold,I also have alot on the list that I still cant get done because I just dont have the supplies for!
If you could see the real list of stuff Ive started and couldnt finish because I didnt have the supplies it would make your eyes pop out lol!
My "one day" UFOs!
Thanks for fixing the list for me Dawn!

I understand completely! I am so far behind in everything and each day I feel like I add to my list. I wish I had more time. I need 36 hour days LOL

Well I got 2 of the magnetic note keepers done.I have to find more chipboard to do more.

I updated your list and WOW did you know you have finished 31 UFOs already this year! AWESOME!

Do you check out the basement board? I was wondering if you would have a use for the crochet thread that is posted there right now?

Dawn the list in blue is my list so far the top list has a couple of things missing like bird nest hats and the ribbon angel pins!
Yes I just checked the basement and would love to have the crochet thread!would be so great for the string angels I want to make and also for holding the yoyos together!Just let me know and thanks so much for letting me know!

Oops on your list! I will get it updated for you sorry about that. I was hoping the crochet thread would come in handy for you. I just can't work with thread anymore and yet my friends keep bringing it to me LOL.

I want a no more monster bottle! giggles

I just have to make some of those!I saw a site where they were selling them and they were really plain with just water EOs and a simple label and they were charging almost $15.00 for a 4oz bottle!I was shocked!As soon as I make them I will send you one lol!
I need to make Jayden a "no more elephants"one Giggles!Shes not scared of monsters because she says they arent real but for some reason shes afraid of elephant and afraid they will come into our apt!Like they could fit in here giggles!

LOL! How cute! Every year on Christmas eve the kids will pick one gift and guess what it is. It will be the LAST present they open Christmas morning. One year, Stormi picked this little bitty box, the one that is about the size a necklace would come in... she swore up and down that it was a baby elephant! Boy did she cry when she only got a necklace! She honestly thought we would (and could) wrapp up a baby elephant into that tiny little box! She was 6 years old then.
You better make jayden some "No more elephants" one! Don't want that baby scared or worried! Although I am glad you said something as I came across some fun fabric with elephants on it wand was going to set it aside for you to make something for Jayden!!! OMG that was a close call!!!

LOL!That was such a cute story about Stormi!Kids sure do have some imagination dont they?I think thats why Jayden thinks they can get into the house,on tv and in books they look small enough to fit lol!
Oh that fabric sounds so cute but youre right it would be terrible for my princess lol!

I have to go through my fabric today so I will get some together for you for your yo yos. I told DH about it and he said, "Now we know why you bought that Christmas material twice". I looked at him kinda funny and then he reminded me that I had gone to one store and bought a yard and then went to another store and bought a yard of the very same fabric LOL! I must have really liked it LOL. I am going to see if I still have any of it. I only have two boxes of fabric here (the rest is still in storage). I brought the two boxes that I hope would help me complete some of my UFOs and one box of UFOs. Today is organization day LOL.... now I have to go through everything and see what I actually brought over....giggles.

Giggles yep it sure sounds like that Christmas fabric caught your eye too!It is just too cute!
But Im like you I just love Christmas fabric!Its always so cheery!
Oh I have a few more yoyos to add to my list!I cut as many as I could out of the scrap pieces of fabric I had and came up with 254 of them!
Granted 139 of them are only going to make 1 inch ones(teeny tiny ones)but still I have 254 so its a start!
Ive been drawing circles on every piece of fabric I could find and this morning I cut out all 254 circles and have sewn 6 of the tiny yoyos so far today! So Im getting there!

Made 71 yoyos during the UFO party and 6 last night so I now have 77 yoyos done

All updated

oops I made 82 in all!forgot I made 76 during the party!!
Sorry Im making so much for for you Dawn!
My brain isnt working today at all!Giggles!

ROFL!!! You crack me up!

I havent been able to do anything right all day!Giggles!
Im afraid to make yoyos today..with my luck they will turn out square lol!

ROFL!!! I would pay to see that! giggles

lol I actually sat there and relaxed last night and watched a Doc. while I worked on some yoyos and did okay my total is up to 101 now and none are square ....although now that I think about it that would have been cool if I could have made them square lol!

giggles

Have a bunch more to add to my list of UFOS but think I will wait until things settle down some before posting them!

More???? More???? LOL... OK... I am here and ready.... whatcha got?

Lol!Ok Dawn you want them you got them!
Heres some of the things I found in a box from my old house(when I was married so these have been UFOs for quite a while)that I started and never finished:
2 Care bear dolls
4 wooden potpurri holders
4 wicker fans
3 wooden door corner decorations
thats all I can think of right now(still early and Im not really awake yet lol)
I still have a little box of Christmas things I started years ago and never finished that I have to go through!
made templates for 7,8 and 9 inche circles
FINISHED:150 yoyos so far(only 104 to go then I can start cutting more circles giggles)

got your list updated!

thank you so much Dawn!

Your Welcome! Do you think I will throw everyone off if I call the next party a "Crafting Party?" Or should I call it a Crafting and UFO Party?

a crafting and UFO party sounds good!that way we can all decide if we want to work on a UFO or start something new!
by the way I only have 26 yoyos left to sew up from the 254 I cut out so I am so so happy!think Im taking a break from yoyos after this at least for a few days lol!Im seeing circles in my sleep!lol

Wow! You have been busy with the yo yos! I will trade your circles in your sleep for my inability to sleep LOL

well I got all 254 yoyos done and 4 yoyo angels made!
Now I find out all the yoyos I made are going to have to be for some other project and I am going to have to make a bunch more for the angels and trees because I want them all one color and it takes two of each sisze yoyo in three sizes to make one angel and although I have lots of yoyos I have mostly tiny ones(this is all from the small pieces of fabric you sent me that you found up in the closet that you were going to send me before)so I just dont have enough of the same colors to make what I want!
Oh well I will just do something else with these and sew up some more in the sizes I need now that I have some more fabric thanks to you and to Sharon!

Dawn Im so sorry you are having trouble sleeping,with everything youve been going through lately I can understand why!
Hope you can get some much needed sleep soon my friend!
