I’m just loving seeing everyone’s creative projects! You guys inspire me so much

I’m excited, too! We’ve had quite a bit of snow over the last week.

Mushroom doodles in my mini notebook today.

2/7: More unnecessary envelopes, mini edition. But I did process and put away or recycle a bunch of calendar scraps.

A couple of them had to be altered into pockets.

It’s coming together…!

Finished another watercolor postcard. This one is based on a skillshare class by Stephanie Kilgast.

Looking good @Bunny1kenobi!

Ooo! Love the mushrooms @Tapestry.

I had another craft date with a friend last night. We did more yapping than crafting so I only have one card to show for it:

And progress on sleeve #2 so far today (I just cast on):

Thank you! That masterpiece mini is gorgeous!

2/8: Cleanup-wise, I made good progress on the area behind where I sit to craft.

Craft-wise, I worked on my proper WIPGO card (the original I threw together on the back of an envelope) and started an ATC.

Also, let it be known that I found more calendar pages while cleaning and didn’t immediately turn them into anything .

Made a cheat sheet for my ink pens and started a little monster doodle postcard. Still working on the postcard though.

I really like my Ohuhu fine liners, they’re a nice set and not overly expensive.

Bunny1kenobi · February 9, 2025, 6:26am

So far I’m really liking this.

Catching up a bit…

Day 7: cases in two books. One turned out nearly perfect and the other should only be viewed from a great distance

Day 8: Tried rounding a book spine for the first time. I have a stubby little hammer and am going to be looking for every opportunity to use it.

Abbeeroad · February 9, 2025, 8:35pm

I love this idea! Might discuss with mods to make it more formal.

Also. I know I’m in the minority but I love January. It’s my favorite month. So I oppose “blahs” as a theme.

Loving the fish hats! @jellybean

Magpie · February 9, 2025, 8:46pm

It is the return of the light, after all

megwell · February 9, 2025, 9:11pm

2/9: The only real tidying I’ve done today is emptying the trash and recycling containers on my craft space, but that will make further cleaning easier.

I also finished my proper WIPGO card (except for marking finished spaces off) and the pick-3 ATC I started last week, plus worked on the card I started yesterday.

I have been working on my Quiet Book but not posting pictures, 2 completed pages …

inside two zippers I added flat buttons for fun
