2/18: A solid 10-15 minutes of table cleaning. I also “preserved” some New Years confetti and the heart confetti from @Edel’s Galentine’s package.

I wish the packing tape hadn’t wrinkled so much, but overall it’s more or less what I envisioned.

Painted my little folk art flower!

Surprisingly, it’s not on one of my postcard blanks, but a small 3.5x5" watercolor paper sample I had on hand (Strathmore 400, 100% cellulose 140lb coldpress). I’m debating whether I need to paint another folk art flower or design on one of my postcard blanks.

It took three quarters of the month but last night I made a doll dress. I’ll add a ribbon sash tonight.

In the last two days the only thing craft related I did was look at a new weaving book I purchased and then decided to return it.

If bird watching counts, I did that yesterday and took lots of photos.

Bird watching and looking at a craft book should totally count!

2/19 and 2/20: A reasonable amount of table cleaning (most of it yesterday…)

My couch craft the last couple of evenings has been making my boring Great Value teabag tags less boring. The bottom set got covered with scraps tonight. The top set got covered in (mostly) gel prints last night and sentiment-ed tonight while the new set dried.

I. . .may have gotten carried away?
