Craft-Along: Almost Finished


I encountered a major hurdle for my November craft-along project. A crooked wall means I have to rethink my design.

To share your Craft Along with GIY project:
1.  Add the Craft Along with GIY icon to your blog post. Link the icon to this page:

2.  Leave a comment with a link to your project. If you're not a blogger, you can link to your webpage, Instagram, or anywhere else readers can see it. (Please link directly to the project page.)

I will compile the links on the Craft Along with GIY page.

Craft Along with GIY: November 2017


November already! Time for a new craft-along.

During November, I will work on a craft project for the monthly theme. Around November 29, I will post my completed project. You can share a link to your project on that post or at any time during the month on this post. I will compile the links on the Craft Along with GIY page.

To participate:
1.  If you're a blogger, add the Craft Along with GIY icon to your post. Link the icon to this page:
http://gothityourself.blogspot.com/p/craft-along-with-giy.html

2.  On either this theme announcement post or my completed project post, leave a comment with a link to your project. You can link to your blog, webpage, Instagram, or anywhere else readers can see it.

Your project can be big or small. It can be in any style, goth or otherwise. The fun is in the crafting! :)

The theme for November is Favorites. As always, you can interpret this broadly.
  • Sew a dress from your favorite fabric
  • Share a recipe for your favorite food
  • Paint a portrait of your favorite singer
  • Knit or crochet something in your favorite color
  • Take photos of your favorite park or building
